Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog’s New Best Friend
I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, having owned both small and large breeds, which allows me to comfortably manage dogs of various sizes. I am well-versed in a range of services, including walking, bathing, feeding, and engaging in playtime. My schedule is flexible, with availability most days of the week, though I kindly request a minimum of three days' notice for dog walking or feeding arrangements. I also ask for at least 24 hours' notice in the event of any cancellations. Above all, I am passionate about dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether it's running, playing fetch, going on walks, or simply providing them with the love and care they deserve.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
In both my home and my client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for the pets. I ensure that the space is pet-proofed, free from hazards, and equipped with all the necessary supplies for the pet’s well-being. I maintain a calm, welcoming atmosphere where pets feel secure and loved. During walks or outdoor play, I stay attentive to their needs and ensure they are safe at all times. Whether in my home or yours, I offer consistent care, regular check-ins, and plenty of positive reinforcement to build trust with your pet.

Calendar and availability
Schedule
As a teacher on summer break and assisting my grandparents as a home health aide, I have a flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. I can accommodate dog sitting, walking, and feeding with 24-hour notice for bookings. This allows me to provide personalized and attentive care while balancing my other responsibilities.

- It’s important for me to know a pet's specific routines, preferences, and any medical needs ahead of time. Understanding their energy level, favorite activities, and whether they enjoy being alone or need constant companionship helps create a comfortable environment for them. Knowing their feeding schedule, any dietary restrictions, and behavior cues—like signs of anxiety or excitement—ensures that their needs are met consistently. It’s also helpful for me to learn about their socialization habits with other animals or people and any special instructions, such as preferred toys or bedtime routines. This knowledge ensures a smooth, stress-free experience for both the pet and myself.
