Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & Trusted Pet Sitter
Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My family has had dogs ever since I was a baby, and we've owned a variety of breeds, including Pugs, Shih Tzus, Labrador Retrievers, and more. I currently have a 9 year old Australian Shepherd who keeps me active and reminds me every day how important quality care is for our pets. I'm also a lifelong horse owner and rider, having owned and cared for horses and other livestock since third grade. And as much as I love dogs, I'm just as much of a cat lover! I began pet sitting independently when I turned 18 and have since built a wonderful group of repeat clients. I provide a wide range of services, including drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight stays, and extended pet care. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and respectful of my clients' homes, always leaving them as clean or cleaner than I found them. Most importantly, I care for every animal as if they were my own. Building trust with both pets and their owners is something I take seriously, and providing safe, loving, and reliable care is something I am truly passionate about.

Safety, trust & environment
My top priorities when caring for pets are their safety, comfort, and maintaining the routine they're used to. I always follow the pet owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and any specific care needs. Whether a pet is on a leash or in an approved off-leash environment, I make sure they are supervised and safe at all times. I also have experience caring for pets of all ages, from young puppies to senior pets. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I pride myself on being dependable, respectful, and communicative, providing regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.

Schedule
Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a dog owner myself. Every morning, I spend 20–30 minutes walking and playing with my 9 year old Australian Shepherd before starting my workday. During my lunch break, I often return home to let her out and spend some additional time with her. I work a full time 9–5 job, but I have a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home when needed. This flexibility allows me to accommodate pet visits, walks, and other care needs throughout the day. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, I make it a priority in both my daily and weekly routine.
