Pet care experience
Gentle, Loving Pet Care 🐾💖
I’ve been around animals my whole life and caring for them has always felt natural to me. Growing up, I had Cocker Spaniels, a Himalayan cat, and a Siberian Husky, and later had three cats of my own with very different personalities that I adored. Animals—especially cats—tend to gravitate toward me, and I’ve always had a strong, intuitive connection with them. Over the past year, I’ve also been helping care for my boss’s dog, Maisie. From potty training to long hikes and overnight stays, I’ve loved being part of her routine. I’m active and usually go on long hikes in the mornings, so I’m always happy to bring a dog along for exercise and fresh air! I offer check-ins, overnight care, and boarding for cats and small dogs (especially hypoallergenic and potty-trained pups). I treat every animal with love, patience, and genuine care—my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home.

Schedule
My schedule is pretty open, except Thursdays, I work a job all day Thursdays, but any other time I’m pretty flexible! I love to take the dogs for walks in the presidio or around heron lake.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and at ease. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—mealtimes, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so they feel secure and cared for even when their owners are away. At my home, I make sure it’s quiet, clean, and cozy, especially for cats or small dogs. I only board one pet (or one family of pets) at a time to make sure they get my full attention and aren’t overwhelmed. I’m especially careful about keeping things tidy and safe, and I always provide plenty of affection, enrichment, and exercise—whether that’s a walk, a hike, or a good play session. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and I treat their pets like my own. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits or overnight stays, I make sure pets feel loved, relaxed, and well cared for until their humans return.
A typical day
With kitties I will play with toys or cuddle and give them pets, depending on their age and temperament. With dogs, I love to hike, so will definitely take the dogs hiking with me! Trails in Marin/mill valley, stow lake, presidio, etc. I love to be out in nature with animals. The joy on their face is precious. I also play fetch or tug a war with puppies or high energy dogs. Lots of love and cuddles if they like those. If they are timid, I will take time to earn their trust.
