Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle, Attentive Pet Care
I've grown up around pets and am a genuine animal lover. I'm very patient and passionate about animal welfare. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. The most important quality to me when it comes to animals is patience :) Dog experience includes small adult dogs, puppies from 3 months-8 months, and large adult dogs. 12 years of experience with cats. Trained in first aid/was a lifeguard for 3 years/ comfortable in high stress environments, can act fast and stay calm in an emergency.

Safety, trust & environment
I always start by letting pets come to me at their own pace, allowing them to feel safe and in control. I take time to build trust, always respecting their boundaries and reading their body language. Patience is key, especially in new environments. Once they’re comfortable, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I create a calm, nurturing space where they can feel secure and relaxed.

Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or drop-ins, I make sure to plan my day around each pet’s needs to keep them happy and comfortable. I work part time on a flexible schedule. I have the most availability Monday-Wednesday.

- I’m willing to accommodate a pet’s unique needs, whether they’re shy and need a calm, quiet environment, or sociable and love interactive play. I really do appreciate being informed about every detail, commands they respond to, or specific needs ahead of time so I can better prepare for visits.
