Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable and caring pet sitter
I’ve been around dogs and other pets throughout my life and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable working with pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, whether that means walks and playtime for an energetic dog, sticking closely to feeding and potty schedules, or simply providing plenty of attention and companionship. I’m also comfortable with pets who may be nervous, stubborn, or need a little extra patience. I’ll treat your pet and your home with respect, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, boundaries, and anything else your pet needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the property and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape points are secure. I also understand that every animal is different. I give pets time to become comfortable with me, pay attention to their behavior and body language, and never force interaction with a nervous or hesitant pet. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing while they’re in my care.

Schedule
My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for daytime and evening visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I can also work with your pet’s established routine and schedule whenever possible, rather than expecting them to adjust to mine.
