Loving Pet Care You Can Trust
What sets me apart is that I've been caring for animals my entire life. I've owned four dogs, three cats, a bird, and a rabbit, giving me experience with a wide variety of pets and personalities. As a child, I even started a dog-walking business in my neighborhood at just 8 years old! Later, I fostered puppies for It's The Pits Rescue in San Diego, gaining experience with young dogs and helping them thrive in a loving environment. Because I work from home and am home most of the day, your pet won't be left alone for long periods. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play fetch or frisbee, and get plenty of exercise. Inside, they'll receive lots of attention, affection, and snuggles. I've also pet sat for neighbors and friends over the years and can provide references. I understand that every pet is unique, and I will care for yours as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and am home most of the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I rarely leave for extended periods, so pets in my care receive lots of attention and supervision rather than being left alone for hours. Whether your pet enjoys playing in the yard, going for walks, or simply relaxing with company, I can easily incorporate their needs into my schedule and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, pets are treated like family and are never left outside unattended. I have a large, securely fenced yard for supervised playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. Inside, pets have a comfortable, clean environment where they can relax and receive plenty of attention and affection. I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide lots of supervision, love, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

A typical day
A typical day includes plenty of potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and sticking as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine. I work from home, so your pup will have lots of companionship and supervision throughout the day. I'll make sure they get their meals on schedule, any medications they need, and plenty of love and attention. Fun activities depend on each dog's personality and energy level. We can enjoy neighborhood walks, games of fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, sniffing adventures, and lots of belly rubs and cuddle time. For dogs who prefer a quieter pace, I'm just as happy relaxing together and providing a calm, comfortable environment where they can feel right at home.
