I’ve been around animals for pretty much my entire life! My family got our first dog, a Chihuahua puppy, when I was about 3 or 4, and I got my first cat when I was 7. Since then, I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, along with fish, birds, rodents, and reptiles. I currently have a medium-sized mixed breed dog, four cats, and a bearded dragon of my own. I have experience with puppies, high-energy dogs, senior pets, and pets that require medication or special diets. I’m comfortable with basic commands like sit and stay, cleaning litter boxes and accidents, feeding reptiles and fish, and following detailed care instructions. I’m also happy to provide plenty of exercise, whether that means playing fetch, going on a longer walk, or even taking an active dog on a short run. What really sets me apart is how seriously I take caring for someone else’s pet. I’m very detail-oriented and will follow your instructions closely, and I’m happy to send plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. I truly see pets as part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own.
