Pet care experience

I am the best bet for your pet!

Your pets are more than just animals—they’re family, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I’ve been around animals since I was six years old, and caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Today, I share my home with two energetic ferrets, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, attention, and specialized care that different pets need. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with small and exotic pets, including ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other small companions. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and unique needs, and I’m committed to following your care instructions to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply a dependable person to stick to their routine, you can count on me to provide attentive, reliable care. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or fuzzy!) family members!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities. I’ll make sure your pet is fed on schedule, has fresh water, gets plenty of exercise and playtime, and receives the love and attention they deserve. I’ll also follow any care instructions you provide to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during my visits. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Joshua seems like a nice guy but wouldn’t recommend him for bigger or more hyperactive dogs. Our lab gave him a hard time getting in her crate after the walk so he just left her out. As any lab owners know, she can (and will!) get into anything if left alone for too long, which is why we crate her. I’m sure Joshua didn’t have bad intentions, but that’s not acceptable to me as an owner who is paying for a service and was very specific that she NEEDS to be in her crate!

Joshua is very very good with my cats. He plays with them and they don't want him to leave. 😅

Josh was a lifesaver for my two dogs when our normal walker had to cancel last minute.

Schedule

I currently work full-time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care before and after work, as well as on weekends. On weekdays, I’m available from 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM and 4:00–5:00 PM until 9:00 PM, making me a great fit for morning walks, drop-in visits, dinner feedings, and evening care. I’m also available 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM on weekends, and I have every other Friday off, which gives me full-day availability for walks, drop-in visits, or extended pet care. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your pet’s needs and keeps their routine as consistent as possible.
