Schedule

As a Veterinary Technology student, pet care is already a big part of my daily life. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give every pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting during the week and weekends depending on my class schedule. I always make sure pets stay on their normal routine, including feeding, exercise, and playtime, so they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a Veterinary Technology student with hands-on animal care experience, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort in animals. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. I treat every home with respect and ensure pets feel secure in their familiar environment while their owners are away. I also provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is structured around your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. We’ll start with feeding, fresh water, and a potty break, followed by playtime or a walk depending on their energy level. I love keeping pets mentally and physically stimulated with games, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention. Throughout the day, I make sure they get regular bathroom breaks, exercise, and rest time. I also provide lots of affection, whether that’s cuddles, brushing, or simply keeping them company. I’ll send updates and photos so you can stay connected, and I always make sure your pet ends the day feeling safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾

I always want to provide the best care possible, so please let me know about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. This includes feeding schedules, medications, allergies, fears, or behavioral habits (such as anxiety, leash reactivity, or separation issues). I also like to know how your pet interacts with other animals and people. For safety reasons, I only accept pets that are friendly and non-aggressive. The more information you share, the better I can ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care.
