Because Pets Are People Too

Every pet has their own vibe, and I’m here to match that energy! Whether your pet is a cuddle monster or a solo explorer, I’m ready to meet them where they’re at. From snuggles to solo time, I’ve got them covered. With years of experience as a Manager at the largest pet retail chain in America, I’ve honed my skills caring for a wide range of animals – from fish to reptiles, birds, and small mammals. I ran the live animal department, so you can trust I know how to handle pets big and small! My passion for animals goes beyond my retail experience. It led me to offer pet sitting on the side, where I’ve built lasting relationships with pet parents and their furry (or scaly) friends. With a flexible schedule, I’m available whenever your pet needs a friend – whether it’s during the day, on weekends, or just when you need someone you can rely on to give them the care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets at your home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy in their familiar environment. Here’s how I do it: Routine and Consistency – I stick to your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, from feeding times to play sessions, to keep things consistent and stress-free for them. Respecting Their Space – I always respect your pet’s personal space and boundaries. If they need time alone, I’ll make sure they have a peaceful, safe spot to retreat to. Attention and Engagement – Whether it’s playtime, training, or simple companionship, I’m there to engage with your pet on their terms, ensuring they get the right balance of attention and independence. Keeping the Home Tidy – I take care to respect your home by keeping things clean, including cleaning up after playtime and ensuring your pet’s area is tidy. Constant Communication – I send regular updates and photos to keep you informed about how things are going, so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands! My goal is to provide a stress-free and loving experience for both you and your pet while keeping their routine intact in the comfort of their own home.

Schedule

I work a full-time job, but I’ve always found that pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize flexibility and time management, ensuring that I can dedicate quality care to the pets I look after without it interfering with my work schedule. I often schedule pet care visits during breaks, evenings, and weekends, depending on the pet’s needs. My work schedule allows me to be available at different times of the day, and I’m able to plan visits or extended care based on what works best for your pet’s routine. Providing pet care is something I’m passionate about, and it’s easy for me to manage because I’ve always made it a priority. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or staying with pets for a few hours, I’m able to give them the attention they need while still balancing my work commitments.

To ensure I provide the best care for your pet, I’d love to know a bit more about them beforehand. Here are some things that would be helpful: Routine and Preferences – What’s their daily schedule like (feeding times, walk times, bedtime)? Are there any activities they particularly enjoy or dislike? Behavior and Temperament – Are there any quirks or specific behaviors I should be aware of? How do they typically interact with new people or in different environments? Health Needs – Any medical conditions or special care they need? (e.g., medications, allergies, or dietary restrictions) Emergency Information – Contact details for your vet, and any emergency procedures I should follow. Comfort Zones – Do they prefer to be left alone at times, or are they more social? Any specific things that help them feel safe and secure? The more I know, the better I can cater to their needs and make sure they’re happy and comfortable while you're away! Feel free to share any other details you think would be helpful.
