Pet care experience
Loving Care for Your Fur Babies ❤️
I’ve had many years of experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and a chinchilla. I have two cats of my own, and I also regularly care for my sister’s 14-year-old dog, including giving him his medications and making sure he gets the care and attention he needs. I previously had a husky of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic, strong, and sometimes stubborn dogs 😂. My husky was definitely a handful to walk, so I always joke that no other dog could be as challenging as mine! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available most days starting at 8 AM, including weekends, and I’m happy to work with different schedules when possible. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, medication, or simply some extra companionship while you’re away, I’d love to help. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them that way! I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, exercise, and love while they’re in my care. I’d love the opportunity to become someone you and your pets can rely on! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and any special care they may need. In a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect I would my own and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and love. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and administering medication when needed. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.

Schedule
Animals are already a big part of my everyday life! I have two cats of my own who I care for daily, and I also regularly care for my sister’s 14-year-old dog, including giving him his medication and making sure he gets plenty of attention and care. Because I already have pets in my routine, caring for other animals feels very natural to me. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days starting at 8 AM, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need.

- Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know about their personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and safe. It’s also important for me to know about any medications, medical conditions, allergies, dietary restrictions, behavioral concerns, fears, or triggers. I’d want to know how they typically interact with other animals and people, as well as any specific instructions you have for their care. Most importantly, I want to know what makes your pet happy and comfortable so I can make their time with me as stress-free and enjoyable as possible!
