Pet care experience

Paws & Love Pet Care

Caring for pets has been second nature to me since I was 8 years old. Growing up with both cats and dogs—everything from playful kittens to small and medium-sized pups—I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for animals that only comes from real-life, hands-on experience. Over the years, I’ve walked energetic dogs through pet-friendly neighborhoods, bathed nervous pups with gentle care, kept cuddly cats company during long weekends, and even cared for the beloved pets of friends and neighbors through trusted home-sitting. Whether it’s tossing a favorite toy, going for a tail-wagging walk, or simply being a calm, caring presence, I treat every pet like family. What sets me apart? It’s not just the years of experience—it’s the personal touch. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I go the extra mile to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Looking for peace of mind and a loving sitter who truly gets what your furry family needs? I’m just a message away. Book today—spots fill up fast!

We try to take Ollie whenever we can, but we're glad that Jose is able to care for Ollie when we can't. He's professional, courteous and attentive.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine thanks to my flexible remote job. Whether it's weekdays or weekends, I can easily accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits—whatever works best for your pet’s needs. I even offer very late-night walks or check-ins, something many sitters don’t provide, giving you added peace of mind during busy or unpredictable schedules. My love for both cats and dogs drives me to ensure they’re cared for, comforted, and happy no matter the time of day. I’m here to work around your schedule, not the other way around—because your pet deserves the best, anytime.

Safety, trust & environment

As a lifelong pet owner, I truly understand what you’re looking for when it comes to trusting someone with your furry family member—because I’ve been in your shoes. You want someone who values safety, reliability, and a warm, loving environment just as much as you do. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize safety and trust above all. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with a securely fenced backyard—perfect for play and relaxation. At home, your pet will be welcomed by my sweet senior Shih Tzu and playful Siamese cat, both of whom are well-behaved and love having new companions around. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for, just like you would do yourself. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure, especially when you’re away. I offer flexible scheduling—including late-night visits and walks—something most sitters don’t provide, giving you peace of mind no matter your schedule. What sets me apart is that I don’t just love animals—I live with them, understand them, and care for them daily. Let’s give your pet the care they deserve. Reach out today—your pet’s new favorite sitter is just a message away!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with your pet is filled with fun, engagement, and lots of tail wags! I love to stimulate your dog both physically and mentally, creating experiences that are as enriching as they are enjoyable. We’ll start the day with a refreshing walk around our pet-friendly neighborhood, where your pup can explore new smells and sights (something dogs absolutely love). I believe sniffing is a form of mental enrichment, and I give them plenty of time to enjoy it! Later, we might head to the local dog park for some off-leash playtime and socialization, or spend quality time playing fetch and catch in my fenced backyard. For pups that enjoy brain games, I incorporate interactive toys and light training exercises to keep them mentally sharp. Afternoons are for cuddles, rest, and a little more outdoor fun depending on your pet’s energy. Every activity is personalized based on your pet’s age, needs, and personality. Cats get plenty of love too (interactive toys, cozy window-watching spots, and calm, caring attention) to keep them purring with joy. I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and entertained every step of the way! Let’s make their days fun while you’re away—spots book quickly, so don’t wait!
