Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawfect Walks & Snuggles
I’ve been looking after pets since I was in elementary school, growing up with a collection of dogs and cats. I started helping neighbors and family with walks, feedings, and playtime while traveling. I also have a 12-year-old Frenchie who somehow still looks like a 2-year-old, so I know how to care for puppies and senior dogs alike. Since my Frenchie has been through multiple major surgeries including rhinoplasty, ALC, and tumor removal, I’m experienced in giving special care to pets who are sick or have unique needs. I’m confident with medications, quirky routines, and making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and just a little spoiled while you’re away. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or a couch snuggle marathon, I'll make sure your pet gets exactly what they need and probably a few extra belly rubs for good measure.

Schedule
I work remotely, which means I have an incredibly flexible schedule. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I can adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide house sitting and drop-in services in my clients’ homes with the utmost care and attention. I am very detailed and thorough, making sure all locks are secured, alarms are set, and windows are properly closed and latched. During visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, and medication as needed, ensuring your pets are safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
Pets
A typical day
I enjoy taking my dog and friends dogs to the local dog parks for them to run around and play with the other animals in the neighborhood, and Washington Square Park is our all-time fav:) With the cats I have had over the years I have enjoyed playing games that involve physical activity like chasing cat toys.

- it is important to have an idea about your pets routines and schedules. I am a big believer in keeping pets on their usual routine that they have when you are home. I have found this lowers anxiety and improves the lives of pets I care for.
