Pet care experience

I've had dogs my entire life, and have never met a pet I don't like!! From dogs, to cats, to parakeets, to lizards, to fish, I've had them all, and I will take care of them like they're my own. Your pet will be my first priority!

Margaret took amazing care of Herbie while we were away! We received many wonderful photos and were always kept up to date. He was comfortable from the start and had a great stay.

Schedule

I am currently a medical student, so I am well-versed in taking care of others, human and animal. I have some weekday commitments, but most of my time is flexible. Weekends are usually completely free for me! I love to be active and outdoors, and your pet will get a lot of exercise with me. With my more relaxed schedule, I will be able to give your pet the attention and love they deserve!

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable with any size pet with all kinds of needs. I do not currently have any pets of my own, so I am looking to give all my love to yours!

A typical day

We will start the morning with a long walk in the park, which always has interesting sights and smells. Back in my place, we will hang out while I cook, bake, watch TV, or do some work in between walks. I may leave for up to one hour to go to the gym, but that is the longest I would be gone. If you prefer I don't leave your pet alone, just let me know! Otherwise, we will play, cuddle, and nap.

Let me know if your pet cannot be left alone. I sometimes leave to go to the gym for about one hour. Also, let me know how your pet is with other animals they see on walks so I can be prepared.
