Availability

Pet care is a part-time opportunity that fits well into my weekly routine and allows me to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals. As a pet parent myself, I understand the importance of reliable and attentive care. My schedule is especially flexible during the summer, with good availability on Wednesdays and most weekends. I enjoy building connections with pets and providing them with companionship, comfort, and consistent care while their owners are away.

Pet care experience

I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. Grew up with dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether it's an energetic puppy who needs extra exercise and attention, or a senior pet who benefits from a slower pace and gentle care. Currently, I have a pet tabby cat named Kobe for the last 3.5 years. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I understand certain details of each personality as long as it's communicated. Either way, I can adapt. A Few Extras: If any of these apply, I can support. Experience administering oral medications Comfortable with multiple pets Flexible schedule Secure fenced yard Daily photo and video updates Comfortable with special diets and feeding schedules

Our dog has specific dietary needs, and Nelda paid close attention to every detail of his feeding schedule and portions. Her genuine love for animals, excellent communication, and thoughtful care make her an outstanding pet sitter.
