Highlights
Pet care experience
ER Nurse • Calm & Attentive Care
As a former ER nurse and lifelong animal lover I bring a level of attentiveness and calm to pet care that most sitters simply cannot offer. I know how to spot subtle changes in behavior or health, stay composed in unexpected situations, and follow care instructions with precision. I have two cats of my own including a special needs rescue and a dog, and have been caring for animals my whole life. Your pet’s routine, comfort, and safety are always my top priority and I treat every animal like family. I work from home and am available throughout the day for walks, feedings, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet has special needs, takes daily medications, or just needs a calm and caring presence while you are away I have got them covered. I also offer boarding and doggy daycare at my home in Marina del Rey for dogs. It is a clean, calm, and loving environment where your pup will get plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles. Please note I am only able to board dogs at this time as I have cats at home. I am happy to house sit and can be present for extended hours or morning and evening visits. Due to having a special needs cat at home who relies on me I am unable to sleep overnight at a client’s home in most cases but I am always happy to discuss what works best for your situation. I am also currently completing my pet CPR certification so you can feel confident your pet is in the most capable hands possible.

Schedule
I currently work from home and spend most of my time at home with my own pets, so I’m able to provide frequent bathroom breaks, walks, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. I understand how important routine is for animals and try to keep their schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a former ER nurse, I’m very attentive to health concerns and stay calm in unexpected situations. I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring pets with special needs. I provide a calm, clean environment and always follow the owner’s instructions closely so your pet feels secure and cared for.

A typical day
Every pet is different so I follow your lead on what a good day looks like for them. Generally we will enjoy walks at their pace, playtime, quiet cuddle time, and plenty of one on one attention. I keep things calm, engaging, and as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel relaxed and loved the whole time you are gone.
