Highlights
Pet care experience
Active lifestyle, flexible schedule
I genuinely love caring for pets and helping family, friends, and neighbors make sure their animals feel happy and well cared for while they’re away. I’ve spent years pet-sitting for different families, getting to know each pet’s personality and adjusting my care to fit their needs. Living with roommates who had pets also gave me plenty of hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I’m an avid runner, so dogs who love extra movement are right up my alley, whether that’s longer walks or a fun jog. I’m comfortable sticking to established routines and making sure every pet feels relaxed, safe, and well cared for from day one!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide personalized pet care based on the specific needs of each pet and the service requested. When caring for pets in the client's home, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I follow the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime and any other special instructions. I ensure the home remains safe and clean, and I offer companionship and attention to keep pets feeling secure and loved while their owners are away. For more active pets, I offer additional exercise or mental stimulation as needed to keep them engaged and happy.

Schedule
I work a hybrid job with a flexible 9-5 schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. As a morning person, I start my day early with a workout and am available to assist with pet care before, during or after my work hours. I also tend to stay up late, often until midnight, so I can provide late-night care as well.

- Tell me anything that helps me take the best care of your pet, like their routine, personality, favorite toys, or special needs. Let me know about any triggers on walks, food restrictions, or separation anxiety. The more I know, the more comfortable and at-ease your pet will be while you’re away.
