My routine is structured and consistent, which helps pets adjust easily. As a medical student, I’m organized with my time and make sure feeding, walks, and care all happen on schedule. I also spend a lot of time studying at home, so pets get plenty of attention in a calm, low-stress environment. I keep their routine as close to home as possible so they feel comfortable and secure.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious, pet friendly home where dogs are allowed inside and treated like family. I provide a comfortable indoor space and daily playtime in the backyard for exercise and enrichment. I follow feeding schedules, give plenty of attention, and enjoy teaching basic tricks and reinforcing good behavior. I also keep pets active with walks, playtime, and fun outings like beach trips. My goal is to keep them happy, active, and comfortable in a home like environment.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up caring for animals my entire life. I have experience caring for dogs in the family home a cat during college, plus smaller pets too. I’m patient, reliable, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.

I had the pleasure of having her house-sit and care for my cat for a full week while I was away in Cabo, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She is genuinely kind, wonderful to be around, and incredibly attentive to detail. It was clear right away how much she truly loves animals—my cat was comfortable, well cared for, and happy the entire time. She kept everything in great order and was reliable, communicative, and thoughtful throughout my trip, which gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented pet sitter. I would not hesitate to have her watch my home and pets again.
