Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Cat/Small Dog Caregiver
I’ve cared for cats and volunteered in cat rescue for over 20 years. I have always been the person friends, family, and neighbors trust with their pets. I currently volunteer in animal rescue, where I care for and foster kittens, senior cats, and cats with medical needs, including administering medications and monitoring their health. As a licensed Community Health Worker with over 20 years in healthcare, I bring patience, attention to detail, and reliability to every visit. I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, provide enrichment and affection, and keep owners updated with photos and detailed visit reports. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I adopted a foster kitty from Kristy. This kitty was a newborn and very sick. She feed him from a dropper for weeks, then hand fed him and eventually he ate on his own. He is very healthy, nourished and has the best disposition. I believe this is from the commitment, knowledge and love given by Kristy. She has also cared for my other cats when we went away. She followed our instructions and even sent us pictures. She is great.

Schedule
Pet care is currently one of my main priorities, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule and provide pets with the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as weekends and many holidays. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, medication, playtime, or companionship, I strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I communicate promptly and provide updates and photos after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

Safety, trust & environment
Caring for animals is more than just a job to me—it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I have over 20 years of experience in healthcare, am a licensed Massachusetts Community Health Worker, and volunteer and foster with the MSPCA of Cape Cod and It’s All About the Animals, Rochester where I regularly care for and foster cats of all ages, including those requiring medications and special medical care. I understand how important it is to earn your trust, so I carefully follow every instruction regarding feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, and household routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensure doors and gates remain secure, and always provide detailed updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day includes plenty of playtime, cuddles, outdoor time in my large fenced-in yard, and walks based on your dog’s routine and energy level. I provide enrichment through toys, games, treats, and lots of individual attention, along with plenty of time to relax and feel at home.
