Availability
Hi there! I’m a full-time teacher with a lifelong love for animals and a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, loving care for your pets. During the week, I’m available after 3:30 PM, perfect for afternoon walks, check-ins, or evening care. On weekends, I have open availability, so whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’ve got you covered. With a background in education, I bring the same patience, structure, and attentiveness to pet care as I do to the classroom. I’ve grown up around cats and dogs and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like family. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine, administer meds if needed, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your furry friend!

Pet care experience
I grew up working on a horse farm where daily life revolved around caring for animals—early mornings, feeding schedules, grooming, walking, and lots of love. From barn cats to loyal farm dogs, I learned responsibility and compassion for animals at a young age. I’ve always had pets of my own, including both dogs and cats, and I’m currently a proud cat parent to my sweet (and very spoiled!) feline. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet—and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs calm companionship, a playful walk, or just someone who truly “gets” them, I’m here to help. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities and happy to follow any routine or special care instructions you provide. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!
