Pet care experience

I love furbabies!

I love all animals and I have had many dogs and cats throughout my whole life. I love being able to give your pet the best care by allowing them to stay in their own home while you are away or checking in on them during long work days. I love both cats and dogs and I also have experience with other household companions. I have taken care of hamsters, rats, ferrets, turtles, fish, snails, birds and even a rabbit! I currently do not have any pets of my own so it brings me joy to take care of your pets and give them so much love while you are gone. I understand that trusting a new person to stay in your home can be difficult at first so I try to be as accommodating as possible. We can meet up before to make sure it’s a good fit for both parties. Please message me with any questions. I will do my best to help make your pet feel most comfortable and happy during my time with them!

Safety, trust & environment

I have noticed most dogs and especially cats like to stay in their own home while owners are gone for a sense of security and comfort. I also have experience administering medication’s and even injections if that’s something that your pet may need.

Schedule

I am currently available to be with your pet most of the day Fridays through Sundays and I can offer multiple poddy breaks and lots of play time. I do work weekdays Monday through Thursday so I’m not as available on those days. I love to take your pet with me if they enjoy going in the car and to the park!
