Pet care experience

Your pet will be in very good hands

I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. I have taken care of a variety of animals with different needs. I have experience with senior animals and giving oral medication to both dogs and cats. I never leave the house without making sure my own pets are fed, taken out, and feeling happy and calm. I bring that same level of attention to every pet I care for. I’ll do my very best to create a safe, cozy environment for your pet with fresh water, food, fun toys, and a nice spot where they can look outside and relax. If you’d like updates, I’m more than happy to send photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone new, so you can always reach out with any questions or concerns. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter—I’m committed to treating your pet like family.

Schedule

I have plenty of time to provide care for your pets. I’m currently unemployed and navigating life after my mom’s passing, and I’m looking for flexible work to help support my family. Pet sitting is meaningful to me, and I’m grateful for the chance to care for your furry loved ones.

Safety, trust & environment

I think it’s really important to make sure the chemistry feels right between a pet and a sitter. So far, all of my clients’ pets have welcomed me into their space with no problem. I will never leave food or water bowls empty, and I’ll stick to the schedule we agree on for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I’ll always treat your home with respect and clean up any messes before you return. I’ll also stay easy to reach if you’d like updates, and I’m happy to send photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so you can always reach out with any questions or concerns.

A typical day

I’m happy to take your dog on walks or even runs, and I’ll give them as much attention as they need. I’ll use any toys you provide to keep them engaged and make sure they have the best day ever while you’re away.

I like to learn what each pet likes and dislikes, as well as any routines or schedules they’re used to, so I can keep them comfortable and minimize any stress. I’m happy caring for any dog or cat, they’re all lovely in their own unique way.
