Loving Care When You’re Not There!
As a veterinary assistant with hands-on experience in both clinical and rescue settings, I bring a level of care that goes beyond the average sitter. I’m trained to recognize signs of stress or illness, and handle pets with medical or behavioral needs—including seniors and those recovering from procedures. I’ve worked with puppies, helping with crate training, potty routines, and basic commands, as well as with senior pets who need patience, mobility support, and special care. Whether it’s a young pup full of energy or a sweet senior needing gentle attention, I tailor my approach to meet their specific needs. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own—keeping them safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
For check-ins and walks, I focus on providing reliable, attentive care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. During check-ins, I make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets plenty of affection, and that litter boxes or potty areas are clean. I also check for any signs of stress or illness and send you updates so you always know how your pet is doing. On walks, I prioritize safety and fun. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid overly crowded areas, and tailor the pace and distance to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks or slow sniffs, I make sure they get the mental and physical stimulation they deserve. I treat every visit like I’m caring for my own pet—with patience, professionalism, and lots of love.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine—I’m a student who gets out of school early during the week, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to dedicate to your pet’s care. I prioritize consistency, whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just companionship. While I’m unavailable on weekends due to work commitments, I’m very reliable during the week and make sure each visit is calm, attentive, and tailored to your pet’s needs. With my experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more specialized routines with confidence and compassion.
