Pet care experience
Trusted Care When You’re Not There
Experience: I have had hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of various sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I have done everything from energetic puppy playtime and daily dog walking to overnight house sitting for both cats and dogs. I am incredibly comfortable reading animal body language, maintaining consistent daily routines, and adapting to the unique quirks and needs of every pet I meet. My Services (Varies as Needed): • Dog Walking: Structured, safe, and fun outdoor adventures tailored to your dog’s fitness level and energy needs. • Pet Sitting / House Sitting: Keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. Following their exact feeding and potty schedules, and keeping your home secure. • Open Communication: I know how tough it is to be away from your pets, so you can always expect timely updates, detailed summaries, and plenty of cute photo updates!

Safety, trust & environment
For me, my home is just as much as my dog’s home. Usually all doors are open to allow him to traverse and lounge freely. My dog Brady has a general timeline of daily events, such as being let out, feeding, and playtime. I know that everyone has different rules and guidelines for their animals, which I will respect with the upmost importance. I would never want to put another person, or another animal in a situation of distress or unease, which is why I always follow instruction to a t, and if a situation ever arises in which I am unaware of what to do, or how to proceed, you the owner will immediately be contacted, as I would also never want to overstep and act on my own when that may not be in your, or your animals best interest.

Schedule
I am currently a college student in St. Petersburg, but I commute from Lakewood Ranch, where I live. I do have classes Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of gaps and breaks in between my classes that would allow me to drop in. If I were doing overnight stays, I would immediately go from my campus to your location after my day was over, and if that does happen, I would be glad to send you my schedule in detail so we can further discuss logistics and times.

- Please let me know if your pets have certain dietary restrictions, medications, ailments, etc. I do not mind at all if your animal has certain medical requirements, I would just like to be informed beforehand so that I can administer or treat them in a timely and efficient manner. Along with this, if your pet is lethargic or lacks energy and may not need as much playtime please let me know ahead of time so that I do not stress them out, or attempt to overwork them. Finally, please let me know if your pet has a certain disposition to other animals (friendly, aggressive, awkward) so if I am walking them near or around other animals, I know the best way to lead them.
