Pet care experience

Trustworthy, reliable and trained

With over 14 years of hands-on experience, I provide calm, patient, and highly attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m naturally observant and tuned into behavior and energy levels, so your pet isn’t just watched—they’re genuinely understood, loved, and cared for. I’m also very active and love bringing that into my pet care. I enjoy running, long walks, and spending time outdoors, and I especially love being active with pets. High-energy dogs get real exercise and engagement—not just a quick walk—and I’m more than happy to match their pace (I can usually tire out even the most energetic pets in a positive, healthy way). At the same time, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs structure and activity or a calm, reassuring presence, I adjust my care to meet them where they are—especially for pets who may be anxious or need extra attention. I’m very present, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for—so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities—especially when caring for them in your home. I understand that inviting someone into your space requires a high level of trust, and I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect and care. I currently offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. At this time, I’m unable to provide care in my own home, which means all of my attention is focused on maintaining your pet’s normal environment and routine where they feel most comfortable. When I’m in your home, I follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to medications and any specific preferences your pet may have. I’m very mindful of safety at all times, including secure leashing, monitoring behavior, and ensuring your pet is always in a safe, controlled environment. I also prioritize keeping your home clean, organized, and exactly as you left it. You can expect regular updates, clear communication, and someone who is both dependable and respectful of your space. My goal is to create a stress-free experience—for both you and your pet—by providing consistent, trustworthy care in a familiar and comfortable environment.

Schedule

When your pet is in my care, they’ll receive consistent, attentive care that fits naturally into my daily routine—because I intentionally make pet care a priority. I work full-time Monday–Friday from 9–5, but I structure my schedule to ensure your pet’s needs are fully met before and after work. Mornings include feeding, walks, and quality time to start the day off right. After work, I dedicate my time to longer walks, exercise, play, and engagement so your pet gets the attention and activity they need. For high-energy pets, I incorporate active time like long walks or outdoor exercise to make sure they’re not just “checked on,” but genuinely stimulated and cared for. For pets that prefer a calmer pace, I provide a relaxed, comforting environment with plenty of attention and reassurance. On weekends, my schedule is much more flexible, allowing for extended time, outings, and a more customized routine based on your pet’s needs. You can expect consistent communication, updates, and photos throughout the stay. I’m reliable, structured, and committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible—so they feel comfortable, and you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.

Before our time together, it’s helpful for me to understand your pet’s normal routine, personality, and any specific needs or preferences they have. This includes feeding schedules, walk routines, behavior quirks, triggers, medical considerations, and anything that helps them feel most comfortable and secure. Every pet is different, and the more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide consistent, stress-free care that matches what they’re used to at home. I also appreciate learning about things like leash behavior, social tendencies with other animals, and how they typically respond to new people or environments. My goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible and ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
