Pet care experience

Work-from-Home Pet Lover 🐾

Dogs have always been a part of my life. From growing up with family pets to helping neighbors with theirs, I’ve cared for pups of all breeds, personalities, and sizes and loved every one of them. Whether it’s a playful Great Dane or a high-energy Husky, I focus on understanding each dog’s unique needs and matching their energy so they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Since I enjoy running and hiking during the week, I’d be glad to bring your dog along for some exercise (with your approval, of course). I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see their adventures and smiles. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your pet lots of attention and easily adjust to their routine, including administering medications if needed. Their safety is always my top priority: I double-check leashes and harnesses before heading out, and my gated apartment community provides an extra layer of security for even the most curious pups. One quick note: I kindly ask that drop-offs and pick-ups not be scheduled late at night.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a small apartment, but I make sure pets feel comfortable and loved while they’re with me. I’m happy to take your pet out for regular walks to get fresh air and exercise, or stay in and give them plenty of cuddles and attention. I always follow your care instructions closely to make sure they feel at home, whether I’m caring for them in my space or yours.

We have hired Maria multiple times to cat sit for us. She gives super thorough updates and is very communicative with us. We will continue to hire her over and over!

Schedule

As someone who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and check-ins. Since I don’t have pets of my own, I love being able to dedicate that time and energy to caring for yours, it’s a rewarding part of my day that I truly look forward to.

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, any special needs, favorite activities, and things that make them feel safe and comfortable. I also like to know if they have any allergies, medications, or quirks so I can give them the best care possible.
