I care for dogs and cats of all ages—puppies, kittens, seniors—you name it! I’m especially comfortable with medium to large breed dogs who are calm and well-mannered. I do not accept dogs who are aggressive or extremely nervous with unpredictable behaviors, especially those that nip or bite. Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs, reactivity, food aggression, or behaviors I should adjust for. I always prefer a meet & greet before in-home stays to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’m happy to drop in same-day for a quick intro walk, too! Aggressive or shy cats are absolutely OK—I have years of experience reading cat body language and giving them space when needed.

Whether I’m house sitting or popping in for a walk or playtime, your pet’s day will be full of love, structure, and fun! For dogs, the day might start with a morning walk or jog (especially if they’ve got energy to burn!). If we’re near Prospect Park, we’ll stroll or run around the loop, stopping for sniffs, training cues, or just to enjoy the sunshine. Back home, I’ll refresh water, follow your feeding schedule (with meds if needed), and give some chill time—whether that’s belly rubs or a cozy nap. Later in the day, we’ll play tug, fetch, or puzzle games to keep their minds active. If you're working on any training commands, I’ll reinforce them with consistency and patience. I also offer baths if needed, and I’m experienced in grooming basics like brushing or checking paws after a long walk. For cats, I tailor my visits based on their vibe. Shy or independent? I’ll give them calm company and space. Playful or curious? We’ll break out the wand toys, tunnels, and maybe even a game of chase-the-laser. I’m experienced in bottle-feeding kittens, administering meds, and reading cat behavior, so I know when it’s time for play—and when it’s time for quiet cuddles. I always monitor eating, litter box habits, and energy levels to ensure your pet is feeling their best while you're away.
