Pet care experience

Experienced animal sitter!

I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as other small pets including rabbits and guinea pigs. Growing up with both a small and a large dog gave me hands-on experience with different temperaments, activity levels, and care needs. Both dogs completed training programs—one as a puppy and the other later in life—which helped me develop an understanding of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement in animal care. I understand the importance of providing quality walks, maintaining feeding schedules, paying close attention to grooming and hygiene, and ensuring pets receive proper exercise and enrichment. In addition, I have personally owned cats and am knowledgeable about their daily care needs, including providing fresh food and water, maintaining clean living spaces, monitoring behavior, and grooming as needed. I am attentive, dependable, and committed to ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
