Highlights
Pet care experience
Special Needs & Senior Pet Care
I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 25 years, including my own pets, foster animals, and pets belonging to friends, family, and Rover clients. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for a member of your family. I currently care for a dog with epilepsy and have experience with medication schedules, special needs pets, senior pets, and recognizing when something seems “off.” I believe every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and preferences. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, receive belly rubs, or simply have a calm companion nearby, I adjust my care to fit their needs. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout each visit so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow care instructions closely, secure doors, gates, and entry points, and pay attention to the details that help pets feel safe and settled in their normal environment. I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet has a strict routine, takes medication, has special needs, or simply prefers things done a certain way, I strive to provide consistent, dependable care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind.

Schedule
Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. As a pet parent myself, my days revolve around feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I work full-time during the week, so weekday availability is typically early mornings and evenings. Weekends offer the most flexibility, and I may be able to accommodate occasional midday visits for nearby clients on a case-by-case basis.

- Please share your pet’s daily routine, feeding instructions, medications, personality quirks, fears, triggers, escape tendencies, and veterinarian information. The more I know before the visit, the better I can provide safe, personalized care that keeps your pet comfortable and helps maintain their normal routine. If there are any special needs, behavioral concerns, favorite toys, preferred walking routes, or things that help your pet feel secure, I’d love to know those too. Every detail helps me provide the best possible care while you’re away.
