Availability

After doing pet care as a part-time job, I’ve decided to turn it into my full-time work. I currently don’t have any regular clients, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time for new pets. I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your pet’s needs and routine.

Gentle & Loving Animal Care

Pet care experience

I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. As soon as I was old enough, my parents trusted me with caring for our family pets, and over the years I also looked after those of friends and relatives. Eventually, I turned that lifelong passion into professional pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior companions—and of every size, from tiny lap dogs to giant breeds. My own rescue dog came with behavioral challenges, and through patience and understanding, we made incredible progress together. I’m fascinated by animal psychology and believe every pet deserves an individualized, gentle approach.
