Safety, trust & environment

I have lots of experience with dogs and cats with a variety of personalities and will work hard to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible. I love getting to know the little quirks that make your babies special! In your home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent such as mealtimes, walks, play, and quiet time so that everything feels familiar and low-stress. I’m very mindful of doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and any safety details you share, and I always leave your home just as I found it.

I’m happiest when caring for pets❤️

Pet care experience

Hi! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I currently have three cats and I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. I started volunteering at animal shelters in high school and currently volunteer and foster through the Humane Rescue Alliance in DC. This experience helped me learn to read body language, build trust with nervous animals, and stay calm and patient in new situations. Additionally, I work at a pet supply store as a dog bather, so I’m used to handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve been trained to care for bottle babies and I’m certified in Fear Free handling. I always focus on making pets feel safe and secure. I have experience giving medications and will carefully follow any specific instructions your pet may need. I truly will treat your pets like my own. I care deeply about making sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel at ease, too! 🐾
