Highlights
Pet care experience
A Nurse Who Loves Fur Babies 🐶❤️
I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, attentive, and patient, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including puppies who need extra attention and senior dogs who may require a little more patience and care. I’m also comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, administering medications as instructed, going on walks, providing plenty of playtime, and giving lots of love and companionship. As a registered nurse, I’m especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or overall well-being. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands.

Schedule
I work from home 3-4 times a week and have most weekends off. I have a flexible schedule. Open to boarding as well as long as we pre-schedule a time to ensure your animal is comfortable around my very friendly dog named Mia :)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I always try to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime routines. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision based on their individual needs and personality. I’m also very mindful of keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left just as I found it. Most importantly, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind and let them know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy, active, and entertained! Depending on their personality and energy level, we can enjoy walks, outdoor playtime, fetch, tug-of-war, enrichment games, and plenty of cuddle time. For more relaxed or senior pets, I’m just as happy providing gentle walks, lots of attention, and a cozy companion to hang out with. I always tailor activities to each pet’s routine and preferences so they feel comfortable, loved, and have a great time while you’re away!

- Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know about their normal routine, personality, likes and dislikes, feeding schedule, and favorite activities. Please let me know about any medical needs, medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, behavioral concerns, or triggers I should be aware of. It’s also helpful to know how they interact with other animals and people, as well as any special routines or commands they’re used to. The more I know about your pet, the better I can make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while they’re in my care!
