Pet care experience
Your Pet’s Home Away from Home
Throughout my life, dogs and cats have been an important part of my family, shaping the way I care for animals with patience, responsibility, and genuine affection. I have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of breeds — from high-energy Dobermans and German Shepherds to smaller breeds like Shih Tzus who benefit from a gentler approach. I have extensive experience with puppies and senior pets, including maintaining structured routines, adjusting care based on age and temperament, and administering medications as instructed. I understand how important consistency, observation, and clear communication are — especially for pets with specific needs or recent medical history. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive care style and my focus on following each pet’s established routine while keeping owners informed. Whether it’s an energetic walk, overnight care, or attentive support for pets who need extra patience, I approach every booking with professionalism, reliability, and genuine care.

Safety, trust & environment
I offer flexible pet care services, whether you prefer care in your home or boarding in mine. My priority is always your pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being, and I approach every booking with care, structure, and attention to detail. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I share my space with my friendly 14-year-old Westie, who is gentle, well-socialized, and accustomed to being around other dogs and cats. I carefully supervise interactions and ensure each pet has appropriate space, rest time, and exercise, including regular walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely to help pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I respect each household’s guidelines and take care to maintain consistency, cleanliness, and safety throughout the stay. Whether care takes place in your home or mine, your pet will receive the same level of attentive, responsible care, clear communication, and genuine affection.
Ratings and reviews
Came through in a pinch, communicated well, left my apartment spotless.
Wonderful walker as always :)
Nelson has been a godsend for us! He has covered dog walking and dogsat for us over a holiday weekend requested on short notice. We have a very large chowchow who can be quite strong when pulling on her leash during walks handles her very safely and compassionately from what we can tell! He has always been respectful about following her routine and when he dogsat for us over the Fourth of July weekend, he was very considerate and removed and washed our bedding without being asked. He left our house in exactly the same condition as it was left. I would highly recommend him for both dogs-sitting and dog walking.
Nelson came through last minute and was a lifesaver. Zero can be a bit of a snappy grouch in his old age, but Nelson handled him like a champ.
Nelson took excellent care of our cats while we were away. We appreciated daily updates and photos. Highly recommend!

Schedule
Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I currently work part-time from home, which allows me flexibility throughout the day to provide walks, feedings, playtime, and attentive care. For house sitting and longer bookings, I follow each pet’s established routine and make sure they receive consistent care, quality time, and regular check-ins. While I may step out briefly for other obligations, I plan my schedule carefully so pets are never left without proper care, and I clearly communicate my availability and update frequency in advance. I’m always happy to discuss schedules and expectations ahead of time to ensure the best fit for both you and your pet
