Safe, Loving Care for Your Pet

I have been a pet owner for over 20 years, so caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have helped raise, train, exercise, and comfort dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was also a cat owner for over a decade, which gave me experience with pets who have very different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. My family has been pet sitting for nearly 10 years, and I helped with a lot of that care over the years. Through that, I learned how important it is to be reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Now that I am on my own, I am excited to start offering pet care myself and to provide pets with the same kind of safe, loving care I would want for my own animals.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets will have a safe, clean, and comfortable space to relax and feel cared for. I live in a large 3-bedroom apartment with secure doors that create natural barriers throughout the apartment, which makes it easy to separate spaces when needed or help a pet feel more comfortable. There are no other pets in the home, so your pet will receive my full attention without having to adjust to unfamiliar animals. One of the best parts of my home is the fully fenced-in backyard. There is plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, use the bathroom, or just stretch their legs safely. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, water, comfort, and supervision based on each pet’s normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow the owner’s instructions closely so the pet can stay on their usual schedule. I know how important consistency is, so I pay attention to feeding times, walks, medication instructions, favorite toys, comfort needs, and any house rules. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are in my home or their own.

Nicholas exceeded my expectations! He was attentive to my dog’s needs, followed all instructions carefully, and treated my pup like one of his own. His communication was excellent, and I loved receiving updates throughout the visit. It’s clear he genuinely loves animals, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in his care. I can’t recommend him enough!

Nicholas has been a pet owner his entire life and has a soft spot for all animals. He spoiled his rescue cat and treated her like a princess. He loves dogs and we trust him to care for our dogs because he spends time with them to get them comfortable especially when they are missing their family. If you leave your pet in his care, trust me, they will be well cared for and you’ll have nothing to worry about!

Schedule

I am a teacher, but I am currently on summer break, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and weekends, while still being dependable and consistent with the care I provide. I am able to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need.

Before caring for your pet, I like to know as much as possible about their routine, personality, and comfort level. Helpful things to share include feeding schedules, potty routines, walking preferences, favorite toys or activities, and any commands they know. It is also important for me to know about any allergies, medications, health concerns, separation anxiety, fears, triggers, or behaviors I should watch for around people, other dogs, loud noises, food, toys, or new spaces. I also appreciate knowing what helps comfort them when they are nervous or overstimulated. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can keep your pet safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that feels familiar to them.
