Pet care fits pretty naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it becomes part of my normal schedule, not something extra. On a daily basis, it includes feeding, making sure they have fresh water, letting them outside or taking them on walks, and giving them attention. It’s also about checking in on their behavior and health, like noticing if they’re acting different or need grooming. These small routines help keep structure in my day and remind me to stay consistent and responsible.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on consistency, safety, and following the pet’s established routine. I make sure to follow any instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication needs, and preferred walking or play routines. Keeping things familiar helps reduce stress for the pet, especially when they are in a new environment or away from their owner. Daily care includes feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks or walks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I also monitor the pet’s behavior, appetite, and energy levels to watch for any signs of stress or health concerns. In a client’s home, I respect their space by keeping areas clean, securing doors and gates, and maintaining the pet’s normal environment. Whether in my home or theirs, my goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared fo

Information Kursti W. would like to know about your pet

I believe it’s very important to know about a pet ahead of time. Learning about their routine, energy level, personality, medical needs, and any special instructions helps me provide the best possible care. Knowing things like feeding schedules, triggers, training cues, allergies, or medications allows me to keep pets comfortable and reduce stress while they’re away from their owners. I also like to understand what activities a pet enjoys and what they may need extra support with, whether that’s high-energy exercise, calm companionship, or senior care. Having this information in advance helps me tailor my care to each pet and build trust quickly, so both pets and owners can feel confident and at ease.

A typical day

When I’m watching pets, I focus on keeping them happy, active, and comfortable while matching their energy level and routine. I have a husky of my own, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and the importance of proper exercise. To maintain her, I regularly go on runs and hikes, which has given me a strong appreciation for structured physical activity and outdoor enrichment. Because of this, I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, jogs, or hikes (with owner approval), along with playtime like fetch and interactive games. I also use mental stimulation such as puzzle toys, basic training games, and scent work to keep pets engaged. For lower-energy pets or seniors, fun looks more relaxed and might include gentle walks, calm indoor play, brushing sessions, or extra cuddle time. I always tailor activities to each pet’s needs, age, and personality so they feel fulfilled, safe, and well cared for.

Reliable, Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personalized, attentive care I provide and my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I treat every pet as an individual, not just a task on a schedule, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and comfort levels. I prioritize clear communication with owners, providing updates and reassurance so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I have experience working with puppies, including reinforcing basic training like potty routines, leash manners, and simple commands through positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and understand they often need extra patience, gentler handling, and closer monitoring. This can include administering medications, assisting with mobility, sticking to special diets, and watching for changes in behavior or health. Overall, my calm, reliable approach and commitment to safety and compassion help pets feel secure and well cared for, which truly sets me apart.
