Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, Caring, Family Pet Sitter
I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have had three family dogs and two cats who have been part of my life since I was about 12. I’ve also helped care for many other family and friends’ pets over the years, including regular dog and cat sitting and house sitting. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, from small dogs who want to be attached to your hip to big dogs who need plenty of exercise. I’ve cared for pets with special diets, medications or other medical needs, specific exercise routines, and particular sleeping arrangements. I understand that every pet is different, so I don’t expect them all to have the same routine or personality. My goal is to follow what works for your pet and make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to keep up with basic training routines, puppy energy, senior pets who need a slower pace, and pets who simply need a little extra patience and attention.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet care in the client’s home rather than bringing pets into my own home. I know that having someone stay in or regularly enter your home is a big part of trusting a pet sitter, so I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, make sure pets don’t have access to anything unsafe, and keep their normal routines as consistent as possible. I’m also respectful of your home and belongings and will leave things the way I found them. For walks and outings, I pay attention to each pet’s individual behavior and comfort level.

Schedule
I work a set Monday through Friday schedule at my full-time job in Myrtle Beach from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM, so my availability is consistent and predictable rather than changing from week to week. I’m available for pet care before or after work during the week, and I have much more flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays. I have a reliable car and am willing to travel up to about 45 minutes for the right booking. Because my work schedule is set, I’m able to plan ahead and be consistent with visits, walks, feedings, medications, and other routines your pets are used to.

- The more I know about your pet ahead of time, the better I can care for them. Please let me know about anything that could affect their safety, comfort, or routine, including medical needs, medications, allergies, special diets, feeding schedules, exercise requirements, or sleeping arrangements. I’d also like to know about their personality and behavior. For example, if they’re nervous around strangers, protective of the house, afraid of certain noises, reactive toward other dogs, uncomfortable around children, or have ever tried to bite or escape. For walks especially, knowing whether I should avoid other dogs, busy areas, certain triggers, or specific situations helps me keep everyone safe. I’d much rather have too much information beforehand than discover something important halfway through a walk.
