Happy Pets, Stress-Free Care

I’ve cared for dogs and all kinds of animals since I was little, so I’m confident handling pets with different needs and personalities. I have experience giving medications, supporting both puppies and senior pets, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’ve also helped my mom with her Rover clients, so I’m already familiar with providing reliable, loving, and professional pet care. Your pets will always be treated like family.

Safety, trust & environment

I love walking dogs and have a lot of patience for different temperaments, so I’m comfortable working with shy, energetic, or strong-willed pups. When I’m hired for dog walking, I make sure your dog gets a safe, structured walk with plenty of sniff time, exercise, and positive attention. For drop-ins or house sitting, I keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible—feeding on schedule, giving medications if needed, sticking to their usual potty times, and offering lots of play, cuddles, and reassurance. I also keep your home clean, tidy, and secure while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved the whole time you’re gone.

Schedule

As a college student, I have plenty of breaks and free time throughout the day to focus on your pet’s needs. I’m also studying pre-vet, so caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. Your pup will get lots of attention, consistency, and care built right into my routine.

I always like to know a few things before caring for a pet so I can give them the best experience. This includes their daily routine, any medical needs, feeding instructions, and how they do on walks or around other animals. I also ask about their favorite activities, quirks, and anything that might make them anxious or uncomfortable. Knowing these things ahead of time helps me keep your pet safe, happy, and stress-free.
