Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Parent

I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a dog of my own and have also trained my own pets in the past, including working with younger dogs on basic commands, routines, and good behavior. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walking routines, house rules, and any special instructions you have for your pet. I also have some experience caring for cats. While living in Las Vegas, I temporarily cared for a cat in my home, which gave me experience adjusting to the different needs and personalities of both dogs and cats. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets like part of the family. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet while you’re away, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

Schedule

Pet care fits pretty naturally into my routine since I already have a dog of my own. I’m used to regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and keeping pets on a consistent schedule. I’m also flexible and can adjust based on each pet’s normal routine and needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I always try to make pets feel comfortable and safe, whether they’re in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep an eye on behavior, make sure doors and gates are secure, and stick to their normal feeding and walking routines. I also give pets time to warm up to me and don’t force interaction if they’re nervous or shy.
