I'm a reliable and attentive pet sitter with experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets who are meeting a new sitter for the first time and owners who are entrusting their pets to someone new. While living in Seattle, I regularly watched pets for a variety of owners and developed a strong ability to help animals feel comfortable, safe, and settled in unfamiliar situations. I've also cared for friends' dogs with health concerns that required additional monitoring, frequent check-ins, or close attention to changes in behavior. I understand how important communication and reliability are when a pet has specific needs, and I make it a priority to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind while they're away. My approach is patient, calm, and pet-centered. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, and preferences so they can feel as comfortable as possible. Whether it's providing extra playtime, sticking to a consistent schedule, offering companionship, or simply being a reassuring presence, I strive to make every pet feel cared for and every owner feel confident that their pet is in good hands.
