My schedule is very flexible. I work remotely and set my own hours, so I can easily structure my day around your pet's needs - whether that's morning walks, midday check-ins, or being present throughout the day during house sitting stays. Since my kids are grown, I have the time and freedom to provide attentive, reliable care. Your pet gets my full attention when they need it. I miss having that daily connection with animals and I'm excited to help you and your pet while you're away.

Experienced & Caring Pet Lover

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and raised my kids with both dogs and cats, so I've experienced every stage of pet ownership - from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets needing extra gentle care. I understand the routines, quirks, and needs that come with different ages and personalities. What I bring to caring for your pet: * Experience with both dogs and cats - I know dogs thrive on routine and activity, while cats need a quieter, more respectful approach to their space. * Calm, patient approach - I'm comfortable with pets who have anxiety, need medication, or have specific routines they depend on. * Reliable communication - I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never wonder how your pet is doing. * Flexible schedule - I work remotely, so I can be present throughout the day. Your pet won't be alone for long stretches. I'm at a point in my life where I have the time and desire to give your pet the attention they deserve. I'll treat them like family because I know how much they mean to you.
