Highlights
Pet care experience
Certified & Reliable; Drops & Walks
What makes me a great fit as your sitter is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and hands‑on experience with different breeds and personalities. I have three dogs of my own—a husky, a shih tzu, and a 9‑month‑old German shepherd rescue—so I truly understand the care, patience, and attention our furbabies need and deserve. I recently moved back to New Mexico to be closer to family, and as someone born and raised in Valencia County, I care deeply about this community and the pets that are part of it. Working with local dogs and cats is something that helps me grow, and I value the bond that comes from being part of their routine. Communication is one of my strongest skills. I believe pet care works best when we operate as a team, making sure everything is clear, comfortable, and aligned with what’s best for your pets. I’m also able to care for birds, and I’d love to set up a recurring weekly schedule so I can become a consistent, trusted presence in your pet’s life. I do not offer reptile or fish sitting. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s exactly how I treat mine.

Safety, trust & environment
For Drop‑In and Walking services, I make sure your pet’s essential needs are fully taken care of — feeding, fresh water, restroom breaks, and any comfort or routine they’re used to. I also prioritize safety: I’m Certified in CPR for Cats and Dogs, which means I’m trained to respond quickly and correctly in emergency situation. If your pet has specific requirements or special instructions, I’m always happy to accommodate. My goal is to make every visit safe, comfortable, and consistent with the care they’re used to at home. I’m reliable, clean, and respectful, and I bring the same level of care whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet during a walk. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and supported while you’re away.

Schedule
Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I work a professional full‑time job, typically from about 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. My role is hybrid, so some days I’m in the office and other days I’m remote. When we plan a schedule, I’ll always be transparent about my work commitments so we can make sure everything aligns comfortably for both of us. Outside of those hours, I’m fully available for mornings and evenings. On weekends, I have open availability and can provide Drop‑Ins or Walks up to three times a day. Holidays are open as well — let’s talk through them. I’m not a big traveler, so I’m usually here in Valencia County and happy to help families who need reliable holiday coverage. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize.
