Highlights
Pet care experience
Doggy snuggler and walk enthusiast
I've cared for dogs since I was 7 years old and have experience with animals of different ages, personalities, temperaments, and needs. I've worked with dogs in a variety of circumstances and understand the importance of patience, consistency, enrichment, and learning how each animal communicates. I love getting to know each dog's individual personality and quirks, whether they're energetic and playful, shy and cautious, independent, or happiest curled up beside someone. I enjoy keeping pets mentally and physically engaged through play, walks, and training, while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I appreciate detailed care instructions and will do my best to maintain your pet's normal routines, boundaries, and preferences while you're away. I look forward to getting to know you and your furry family members!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow each owner's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, training routines, household rules, and any individual needs or preferences. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, body language, boundaries, and comfort level rather than assuming every animal wants the same kind of interaction. I prioritize safety while making sure they receive plenty of attention, enrichment, exercise, and affection according to their individual needs. I also treat my clients' homes with care and respect, keeping spaces secure, clean, and tidy and communicating with owners about their pets while they're away.

Schedule
I am currently a full-time college student, so my classes and prior commitments do take priority when determining my availability. I plan pet care around my class schedule and study time to ensure I have enough time to properly care for each pet rather than overbooking myself. My schedule often allows for care between classes and during study breaks, with greater flexibility in the evenings and on weekends. Weekends are typically my best availability for pet sitting and longer visits.

- Before I care for your pet I need detailed instructions beforehand to ensure I am able to meet their and your needs! I need to know their preferences, diet, overall health, likes and dislikes, personality type, how they respond to other people and animals, how much interaction they need/want, how many walks, their quirks, sleep habits, and what you do and don't allow! I really want to give your pet the best possible care during your absence!
