Pet care experience

Reliable care while you are away

Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly believes that coming home to your pets is one of the best parts of the day. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and sizes. Growing up, I had a dog who was blind and experienced seizures, so I became comfortable providing extra care, following a routine, and administering medication when needed. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to Goose, a 4-year-old Great Pyrenees mix, and Stella, a black Lab puppy. They’ve given me plenty of experience with both energetic puppies and larger dogs! During visits and walks, I’m happy to tailor activities to your pet’s personality and needs. We can take a relaxing walk around the neighborhood, play fetch in the yard, get some extra exercise, or simply spend time together getting pets and attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I do work full-time, but I make an effort to be flexible and available for the pets in my care. Depending on your needs, I can stop by before and/or after work, and I have additional availability on weekends. My goal is to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need while you’re away. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own—with patience, love, and plenty of belly rubs! I’d be happy to meet you and your pets beforehand so we can make sure everyone is comfortable.

I’d love to know about any special needs, medical conditions, medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, or behavioral quirks ahead of time. It’s also helpful to know their normal routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and anything that makes them nervous or uncomfortable. The more I know about your pet beforehand, the better I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
