Pet care experience
Experienced Pet Caregiver
Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s grown up surrounded by dogs and cats, and I’ve been pet sitting and walking pups since high school. I know how important it is to find someone who’ll care for your pets like family—that’s exactly what I offer. I have two fur babies of my own, so I understand the mix of joy and responsibility that comes with caring for them. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or cozy companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a grad student with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’d love to meet your furry family members and make them feel right at home!

Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets in their home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like they do when you’re there. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, favorite spots, and little quirks so everything feels familiar for them. I always make safety a top priority—double-checking doors, keeping things tidy, and ensuring walks or playtime are done with care and attention. I will treat your space with the same respect I give my own, leaving it clean and calm when you return. Your pets can relax knowing they’re in kind, dependable hands.

Schedule
I’m currently in grad school full time in the evenings on Monday, Tues, and Weds. I am very flexible to walk pups, care for kitties or other furry family members whenever I am not actively in class.

- I like to know anything that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! Please share any details about their routine, favorite toys or treats, and what helps them feel at home. It’s also helpful to know if they have any quirks—like trying to sneak out the door, being shy around strangers, or anything they dislike—so I can keep them safe, happy, and relaxed.
