Pet care experience

Life Long Animal Lover

I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds, including cats, dogs, turtles, goats, chickens, and ducks. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. I’m definitely a cat person at heart, but I absolutely love dogs too! My boyfriend is allergic, so having a dog of our own isn’t really an option. Pet sitting gives me the perfect excuse to get my dog fix and give them all the attention, walks, playtime, and love I’d give one of my own. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker at the Humane Society, where I gained experience walking and handling dogs with a variety of sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Recently, I rescued two separate litters of kittens and helped care for them, including bottle-feeding and providing the extra attention young kittens need. I also have more than 10 years of experience house-sitting and caring for pets for numerous families. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets that same care and affection!

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to make your absence feel like as little has changed as possible for your pet. I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and care routines while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to show my own.

I work from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. Depending on the distance from my work, I may be able to stop in during my lunch break, and I’m available after work and throughout the evening. My weekends are completely open, giving me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pets and work around their normal routine.
