Highlights
Pet care experience
Devoted animal lover
Animals have always been at the center of my world — not just as pets, but as family. I have a deep, genuine love for cats and understand the nuances of feline behavior: the independence they prize, the moments they seek connection, and everything in between. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and particular, I know how to meet them where they are and make them feel safe and loved while you're away. Beyond cats, I'm an experienced dog caretaker — I currently look after a standard poodle, so I understand firsthand what it means to commit to a dog's physical, mental, and emotional needs. Every walk, feeding, and cuddle session is handled with the same intention: making sure your pet feels like they're at home. What drives me is simple — I care. I believe every animal deserves attentive, patient, and loving care, and I bring that energy to every sit. When you leave your pet with me, you're leaving them with someone who will treat them as their own. I'd love to meet your furry family member and earn your trust.

Safety, trust & environment
For check-ins, I treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to bring into mine. I follow your instructions precisely — feeding schedules, medication, litter box routines, where your dog likes to hang out — and I never cut corners. Your space stays exactly as you left it. For cats, I understand that many are sensitive to strangers. I don't force interaction. I give them space to come to me, speak quietly, and let them set the pace. By the end of a visit, even the shyer ones usually come around — and I think that says something. For dogs, every check-in includes fresh water, feeding if scheduled, and real engagement — not just a quick look around. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels, and I'll always flag anything that concerns me right away. I send updates with photos after every visit so you can see your pet happy and comfortable. For devoted pet parents, I know peace of mind matters just as much as the care itself — and I want to give you both.
Ratings and reviews
I had an amazing experience with my cat sitter! He went above and beyond by keeping my connected with detailed daily updates and adorable photos of my sweet Roxy. All feeding schedules and care instructions for Roxy were followed perfectly. He truly treated my home and my cat with the utmost respect. I returned to a completely happy, relaxed cat and a spotless house. My sweet Roxy was so well cared for, and I will absolutely use his services again. Highly recommended!

Schedule
Pet care isn't something I squeeze into my schedule — it's genuinely one of the things I look forward to most. Working part-time gives me real flexibility throughout the day, which means I'm not rushing in and out of your home. I have time to be present: to sit with your cat until they settle, to give your dog a proper visit rather than a hurried check-in, and to pay attention to anything that seems off. I have my own car, so I can reliably get to your furry family member — no delays, no uncertainty. Whether you need a midday drop-in during the week or coverage across a longer stretch, I can build around your pet's needs and your schedule. My goal is consistency: animals thrive on routine, and I take that seriously.
