*Compassionate, Patient Pet Sitter*
Pet care experience
Hey there! When it comes to your pets, why leave anything to chance? You can count on me to treat them with all the love and care they deserve. As a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet sitter, I pour my heart into ensuring the comfort, health, and safety of your pets. With over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in various settings, I've learned a thing or two about what makes them wag their tails or purr with contentment. I'm committed to providing a premium experience for your furry friends. Understanding animal behavior is a big passion of mine, and I continuously take CEU classes to ensure I can provide the best care for your babies! Right now, I'm taking a Dog & Cat First Aid and Care Maintenance, and Dog Psychology 101, both completed through UniversalClass Online. From my early days at PetSmart's Dog Hotel to my time spent fostering kittens and cats at Adopt & Shop in Culver City, my life has always revolved around animals. I began working with animals in 2017 at PetSmart's PetsHotel, & from there I worked at several different doggie daycare/boarding facilities in the LA area. I volunteered at Michaelson's Found Animals Adopt & Shop for a year, & fostered kittens in my home. I then started my own pet care services on Rover in 2020, & since then, have cared for over 100 different pets in several pet sitting platforms. Full resume & references can be provided upon request. I also have extensive experience working with pets who have faced challenging pasts or suffer from separation anxiety. My approach is rooted in patience and compassion, and my goal is at creating a safe and secure environment where they can feel at ease and thrive during their time with me. I'm excited to bring my experience and love for animals to your pets. Creating a safe, comfortable experience is my priority. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friends!
