Pet care experience

Pawsitively the best!

I have a lifelong love of dogs, having grown up in a family that always had pets. Caring for them taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. Over the years, I have also provided dog walking and pet sitting services for friends and family, caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, administering medications when needed, taking dogs on regular walks, providing exercise and companionship, maintaining their routines, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and treating every dog as if they were my own.

Schedule

Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority. When caring for your pet, they will have my full attention and dedication, ensuring they receive the same love, routine, and care they would at home. I will be beginning a new job as a PA in the near future, but until then I have a very flexible schedule and can devote 100% of my time and attention to the pets in my care. Even as I transition into my career, I will only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so every pet continues to receive the reliable, attentive care they deserve.

Before every booking, I like to learn as much as I can about your pet so I can provide the best care possible. Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, energy level, personality, and any commands they know. I also appreciate knowing about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, anxieties, fears, behavioral quirks, or triggers, as well as how they interact with other people and animals. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you're away. My goal is to provide care that closely matches the love and routine they receive from you every day.
