Pet care experience

Loving care for pets of all kinds

I’ve cared for animals my whole life and grew up helping raise my three dogs and two cats, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I personally helped potty train my dogs and understand the patience, consistency, and attention pets need to feel comfortable and cared for. What sets me apart is how genuinely invested I am in every pet I watch. I treat every animal like my own by giving them lots of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while also making sure they feel safe and comfortable when their owners are away. I’m dependable, attentive to routines, and happy to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in a client’s home. In one of my homes we have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play and run around, and in the other I take pets on walks and stay outside with them to make sure they get exercise and attention safely. I’m very flexible and always try to follow each owner’s normal routine so their pet feels as comfortable as possible. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calmer environment, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away.

Malia was easy to work with and send beautiful photos of Koko! She also cared for our leopard gecko and fish. My kitty is lonely and needs love daily and Malia was “purr”fect. I would definitely hire again!

Schedule

Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I love spending time outside, going on walks, and staying active, so I’m always happy to bring your furry friend along for exercise and fresh air. I also enjoy quiet nights in, giving pets lots of attention, cuddles, and companionship so they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I truly enjoy being around animals, so caring for pets never feels like a job to me.

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know about their daily routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs or preferences they may have. It’s also helpful to know about feeding schedules, medications, favorite activities, bathroom routines, and how they interact with other people or animals. I want to make sure your pet feels as comfortable and safe as possible, so the more I know ahead of time, the better I can care for them like they’re my own.
