I have over 10 years of diverse experience working with dogs and cats through pet sitting, boarding, dog walking, pet retail, and dog daycare/hotel environments. Throughout those years, I’ve grown to deeply appreciate what my line of work brings to the enrichment and betterment of animals. I share my home with my own cat, whom I’ve raised for the past five years. Through patience, consistency, and curiosity, I’ve taught him commands such as “sit,” “come,” and “paw,” which further strengthened my understanding of how intelligent, sensitive, and unique cats truly are. My experience includes caring for: • Shy and under-socialized cats • Senior cats • Cats requiring oral or topical medications • Multi-cat households • Cats with behavioral sensitivities or anxiety • Foster and rescue animals adjusting to new environments I understand that every cat has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. Some cats are highly social and playful, while others prefer quiet companionship and space. I pride myself on being patient, observant, intuitive, and adaptable to each pet’s individual needs. I’m familiar with many popular cat foods, feeders, litter systems, enrichment toys, medications, carriers, and feline care products. My goal is always to provide attentive, low-stress care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their humans are away. What sets me apart most is not only my experience with animals, but my professionalism and experience in customer care. I understand how important trust, communication, predictability, and attention to detail are when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. My background in customer service and client relations allows me to provide reliable updates, peace of mind, and tailored care that reflects each client’s preferences and routines. Pet care has become my full-time profession because I genuinely value building long-term, trustworthy relationships with both pets and their owners. I strive to provide dependable, compassionate, and detail-oriented care that clients can feel confident relying on. I am fully insured and committed to maintaining professional, reliable standards of care for every client I work with.
