Pet care experience

Cats, dogs, birds, goats & more

I've owned and cared for animals my entire life — not just dogs and cats, but ferrets, birds, and farm animals like pigs and goats. That range means I'm comfortable reading behavior and body language across species, not just one type of pet, and I can adjust my approach whether it's a nervous cat, a high-energy dog, or livestock that needs a calmer, slower introduction. I'm trained in pet CPR for dogs and cats, so I can respond confidently if something goes wrong during a visit.

Very respectful and professional young man. Amazing with our two Goldies. Ralph and Daisy love him. Only person who can give them their medicine and it not be a hassle. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I'm typically available all day Sunday through Wednesday for visits and walks. On Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays I work a part-time job from 5am to 3pm, so I'm available after 3pm on those days. I try to respond quickly to booking requests and I'm happy to work around your schedule when I can.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I only do drop-in visits and walks at this time, your pet stays in the comfort of their own home rather than being boarded anywhere else — no unfamiliar animals, no new environment, no added stress for them. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect I'd want for my own: doors and gates stay secured, I follow any feeding, medication, or routine instructions exactly as given, and I make sure everything is locked up and put back the way I found it before I leave. For dogs, I keep walks on-leash and under control at all times unless you've told me otherwise. For cats and smaller animals, I move at their pace, give them space if they're shy, and never force interaction. If anything seems off with your pet's health or behavior during a visit, I'll let you know right away rather than waiting. On the days I work my part-time job, my fiancé Jake, also an animal lover — may occasionally step in for a visit if needed, and he follows the same care standards I do

Pets

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore a big park near my house. My apartment complex has its own dog park, plus I'm close to beach access, trails, and a quiet cemetery that's perfect for more anxious or easily-overwhelmed dogs who need a calmer space. Whatever your pup's energy level or comfort zone, I've got a good spot for it.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, triggers, or quirks so I can be prepared ahead of time. I'm comfortable with most breeds, sizes, and energy levels, but please give me a heads-up if your dog is reactive to other dogs or strangers, has leash-reactivity, or needs a slower introduction — that way I can plan the visit (and pick the right spot, like the quiet cemetery instead of the dog park) to set them up for success.
