Highlights
Pet care experience
UPenn Law Student & Animal Lover!
I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 9 years old, and I’ve owned everything from hermit crabs to cats and dogs. Over the years, I’ve had 8+ pets of my own, including six cats. In college, I helped co-parent my roommate’s tuxedo cat, Poe, after we adopted her from a shelter. Also, I helped raise and train my parents’ Bernedoodle, Toby, from the time he was a puppy. That experience made me comfortable with high-energy dogs, sticking to routines, and using positive reinforcement. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including helping my childhood 12-year-old Portuguese Water Dog, Hercules, through his final year with plenty of patience, love, and extra care. I’ve also looked after the cats and dogs of several friends, so I’m used to different personalities, ages, and care routines. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As a law student, I’ve learned that paying attention to the details, listening carefully, and following instructions matter. I bring that same approach to pet care. I’ll stick closely to your pet’s routine, take note of any special instructions, and make sure nothing gets overlooked. You know your pet best, so I always follow your preferences. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, adult pets, and senior animals, including feeding, walks, playtime, crating, and reinforcing household routines, so you can feel confident your pet will be cared for just the way you want.

Schedule
I’m currently a law student at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, where I’m studying to become a lawyer. During the week this summer, I tutor remotely from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and provide animal care outside those hours. I’m available every day for morning, evening, and weekend visits, and I can often accommodate midday requests with advance notice. Whether you need daily drop ins, walks, or last minute care, I’ll do my best to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine.
