Pet care experience

Loving, Reliable Pet Care

other sitters? I bring over 11 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life from rambunctious puppies to sweet senior companions. I currently care for my own 17 year old senior dog and German Shepherd teenager, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and attentiveness that all pets need. I’ve also raised and trained puppies from the ground up, and I love helping them grow into well mannered, happy dogs. Whether your pet needs extra snuggles, structured routines, or a calm, reliable presence; I’m here to provide compassionate, experienced care tailored just for them.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 6.5 ft privacy fence, two happy friendly dogs, and a calm cat. My home is generally very calm and relaxed. When coming into a clients home I will treat it as my own with respect and always leave things looking better than they were before I came in. I have the utmost respect for your home, pets, and belongings.

It’s important for me to know each pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any special instructions ahead of time, as well as their personality, energy level, and favorite activities. I also like to know how they do around other pets or people, if they have any anxieties or triggers, and what comforts them most. Understanding these details helps me provide safe, consistent, and personalized care so your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away.
