Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Pet and Animal Enthusiast
I treat every pet like family and make sure they get the same love and attention they’re used to at home. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement to senior pets who may need extra patience, slow walks, or medication. I focus on keeping routines consistent, giving plenty of enrichment and exercise, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

Schedule
As a teacher and parent, I’m already used to having a structured schedule and balancing responsibilities. Pet care naturally fits into that rhythm—I start and end my days with plenty of time for walks, play, or check-ins, and I’m available after school hours, evenings, and weekends to give pets my full attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it never feels like “extra work” but rather a rewarding part of my week.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They have a safe, comfortable space, plenty of playtime (fenced yard), regular walks, and lots of love and attention. I make sure their routine—mealtimes, potty breaks, and exercise—stays consistent so they feel at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep everything as close to “normal” as possible. That means following your instructions carefully, maintaining feeding and potty schedules, giving walks, playtime, and cuddles, and keeping their environment clean and safe. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel loved, secure, and well cared for until you’re back.
