Availability

Pet care is a meaningful and flexible part of my weekly routine. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of availability during mornings, afternoons, and weekends to dedicate to your pets. I structure my schedule to ensure I’m fully present during each visit, walk, or stay—whether it’s for a quick drop-in or a longer day of care. My part-time work allows me to offer reliable, consistent care without rushing. I love using my extra time to give pets the attention, play, and comfort they need when you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, house sitting, or boarding in my home, I make sure your pet’s routine is a priority in mine.

Fun Activities I Offer for Your Pets! 🐾 I believe pets thrive on love, attention, and fun! Here are some of the enriching activities I do with the pets I care for: 🐕 Dog Walk Adventures We’ll go on stimulating walks suited to your pup’s energy level—whether it’s a relaxed stroll around the block or a brisk walk through the park. I vary routes to keep things exciting and let them safely sniff and explore! 🎾 Playtime Galore Fetch, tug-of-war, squeaky toys, and puzzle games—I love getting your pets moving and mentally engaged. I always match playtime to their preferences and energy level. 🧘 Calm & Cuddles For the more mellow pets, I’m all about snuggle time, belly rubs, brushing, or just being a calm presence. I’ll keep them comfortable and happy, especially if they’re missing their favorite humans. 🐾 Training & Enrichment With your permission, I incorporate fun training games or reinforce good manners with treats and praise. I also use food puzzles or snuffle mats to keep curious minds busy. 🎶 Music & Chill Time For anxious or older pets, I create a soothing environment with soft music, cozy beds, and gentle companionship—just like home.

Jessica was fantastic. Unfortunately I was away on vacation for a formal meet so it was a last minute booking but it was so evident my boys immediately recognized a good person and there was no issues. I have one very large boy and one small one who hates people and she seemed to win them both over.
