Pet care experience

Caring Nurse & Pet Mom — Flexible,

I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and in recent years, cats too, including one we found as an orphaned kitten, just a few weeks old, hiding in our backyard bushes. Nursing him through those fragile first months taught me a lot about patience, close observation, and gentle care, all things I bring to every pet I look after. By background, I’m a people nurse, so I’m comfortable with medications, mobility issues, senior pets, or anything unexpected that comes up. These days I’m an at-home mom and entrepreneur, which means I have flexibility during the day and evenings. Your pet will get consistent attention and someone who treats their routine, quirks, and comfort as a priority. I’d love to meet you and your pet and talk through exactly what they need.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible — same feeding times, same walk schedule, same spots for naps or play — so there’s as little disruption to their normal life as possible. I like to get a clear rundown from owners beforehand (feeding amounts, medications, quirks, favorite toys, anything that helps them feel secure) and I stay attentive to any signs something’s off, which is where my nursing background comes in handy

Schedule

Since I’m home full-time as a mom and entrepreneur, pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed into a tight window. I can offer walks, feedings, or check-ins throughout the day. My schedule has a lot of built-in flexibility, so I can usually adjust to a pet’s routine rather than asking them to adjust to mine.
