Pet care experience

Special care for your pet!

Hello! I'm a passionate animal lover with a strong veterinary background and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I graduated from veterinary school in 2011 and worked as a veterinary technician in Canada for two years, where I gained solid skills in administering medications, providing first aid when needed, and monitoring animal health. Since 2018, I've been dedicated to dog walking and pet sitting, building trusting relationships with many local pets and their families in the area. Whether your dog needs a walk, companionship, playtime, medication administration or extra TLC, I'm happy to help! I truly enjoy giving pets the attentive, loving care they deserve while you're away.

Schedule

I am currently working from home, so I will be watching your pet basically all day. I usually do two walks/day + potty breaks as necessary. Husband also helps with these tasks.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
Children 0-5 years old
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs not allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house with stairs and with a large yard. It is not fenced, so I will be with your pet on a leash all the time when outside. We also have a large fenced covered deck that is clean, safe and the dogs seem to like the view. We also have Air Conditioning for the summer days.

A typical day

Walking, having some sunshine (or maybe rain), playing or cuddling, I will do whatever your pet feels comfortable and happy while staying here with us!
