Safety, trust & environment

They will be kept on their normal feeding and potty schedule. I will track their potty movement as well and make sure they go. They will also receive lots of playtime, pets and cuddles! I can administer any oral medication needed as well.

Information Karina R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there’s any health concerns I need to know about beforehand as well as any food allergies. Also if they have anxiety about certain things such as strangers, loud noises, storms, other dogs, etc.

A typical day

Every pet is different so I cater to what they like. Some dogs are happier on walks or roaming outside, so we will spend the majority of our visit focusing on that. Some love playtime or pets more and I never get tired of either! I can read dogs pretty well so I am able to tell what they are wanting most out of the visit. For cats I will do the same. Every visit is different because every animal has their own unique personality. The playful kitties will get playtime and sleepy cuddly kitties get soft, loving pets.

Someone You & Ur Pet Can Trust🐾❤️

Pet care experience

I know firsthand how nerve wracking it can be to have a stranger in your home caring for your furry loved one. I will always do a Meet & Greet beforehand so you and your pet can meet me to help ease your mind. I treat all pets with love as if they were my own. I try my best to make them as comfortable as possible. I feel a sense of pride when they are bursting with joy when they see me as I know I have done my job well. Once they are comfortable, I try to make it as fun as possible for the pets so they feel like they’re on vacation too! You will receive photos and updates every visit so that you can rest assured your pet is well taken care of. I’ve always been an avid animal lover. I have been taking care of friends and family members pets for 9+ years. I also have experience working at an animal shelter as well as professional dog grooming. One of my favorite things working at both those places is gaining the trust of anxious and timid dogs who learn that they can feel comfortable and safe with me. I am willing to take all the time they need. I have professional experience with seniors, puppies, and disabled dogs.
