Schedule

Pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule because I work full-time with a flexible, hybrid setup. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, making it easy to provide consistent care throughout the day. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I go into the office only for half days in the mornings, which still leaves me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pets. My job allows me the flexibility to ensure that your pets receive the attention and care they need, without any disruptions.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment that is free from hazards and provides plenty of space for pets to relax and play. I ensure that they are supervised at all times and follow their normal routines to minimize stress. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I maintain the same level of care and attentiveness. I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, ensuring their pets feel comfortable in their own environment. I always prioritize safety by keeping doors securely closed, using proper leashes during walks, and staying aware of their behavior to prevent any potential issues. My goal is to provide a caring and secure experience that helps pets feel safe, happy, and loved.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of fun and engagement tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. We’ll start the day with a nice walk to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure they get plenty of playtime, whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or simply playing with their favorite toys. For pets who enjoy more low-key activities, we’ll have cuddle time or leisurely strolls to keep them comfortable and relaxed. My goal is to make sure they stay active, happy, and content throughout the day.

It’s important for me to know your pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs ahead of time. Please share any information about their feeding schedule, exercise preferences, medical conditions, and any quirks or behaviors I should be aware of, like anxiety triggers or favorite toys. If your pet has any specific commands or routines they’re used to, that’s helpful too! The more I know about your pet, the better I can tailor my care to ensure they feel comfortable and happy.
