Right now, I’m focused on pet care full-time, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. Since I only do rideshare on the side, I’m available most weekdays, weeknights, weekends, and even holidays. That means I can adjust to your pet’s routine—whether they need morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening cuddles. I’m also happy to provide extra availability for last-minute needs or extended care during travel. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so making time for your pets is not just easy—it’s the best part of my day.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their family is away. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow all instructions carefully—from feeding and medication routines to keeping doors, gates, and litter areas secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can notice if something feels “off” and address it right away. If a pet is staying with me, I create a calm and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for rest, play, and snuggles. I make sure the area is clean, safe, and free from hazards, and I provide regular walks, playtime, and enrichment so they feel at home.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart as a sitter is that caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I’ve been around pets since I was young—feeding, playing with, and caring for neighborhood cats and dogs. Over the years, I’ve fostered many cats and kittens through local shelters, and I’ve also helped friends and family with their dogs whenever they traveled. I’ve worked with pets of all personalities—shy, playful, high-energy, and even senior pets who require extra patience and care. With cats, I’m comfortable administering medications, keeping litter boxes spotless, and creating a safe, stress-free environment. With dogs, I have hands-on experience with: • Puppy care & training basics – helping with potty breaks, crate training support, leash manners, and consistency with simple commands. • Daily exercise & play – long walks, fetch, and enrichment activities to keep dogs both physically and mentally stimulated. • Senior care – offering slower-paced walks, administering medications when needed, and giving extra comfort and attention. What truly makes me different is the love and attention I put into every pet’s care. I’m detail-oriented about the essentials—fresh water, clean bowls, clean litter, daily walks—but I also believe in giving pets the emotional care they need. Whether it’s an energetic puppy needing structure, a senior dog needing gentle support, or a shy cat needing quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. For me, pet sitting is about more than just care—it’s about building trust, providing comfort, and making sure your furry family members are happy and secure until you’re home.
