Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog & Cat Lover | Home All Day
**¡Hablo español!** I grew up with dogs and cats and have cared for them professionally for more than 15 years. I still love getting to know each pet’s personality. Whether your pet is staying in my home, joining me for a walk, or needs a drop in visit, I provide patient care and follow the routine they’re used to. ----------------------------- I’m comfortable with high energy dogs and can take yours for a jog if that suits their needs. I also have repeat clients whose dogs are happiest walking just a block or two, and that’s completely fine! My goal is to give each pet what they need, whether that’s affection, outdoor time, potty breaks, exercise, interactive play, or a quiet place to rest. ----------------------------- Although I love dogs, cats really speak to my heart. My family calls me the “cat whisperer.” I’m patient with shy cats and give them room to explore, hide, play, or come to me for attention when they’re ready. ----------------------------- I’m home most of the day, and there are no resident pets in our home. My wife works from home and can help while I’m out for my morning class. I’m comfortable caring for seniors and pets who need oral medication. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, litter, and medication, and send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. ----------------------------- My two daughters are old enough to understand to give pets their space when they need it. They love giving both cats and dogs lots of attention and love! ----------------------------- Please feel welcome to ask me anything if you have any questions!

Schedule
I currently dedicate my time to caregiving and have a flexible daily schedule. Both my wife and I work from home, so your pet is never without someone to watch over them. I can adjust freely to whatever timing works best for your pet's routine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I follow your pet’s routine as closely as I can, including feeding, walks, litter, medication, and anything else you tell me they need. I watch for changes in their appetite, energy, or behavior and let you know if something seems off. At my home, I only book pets from one household at a time, so your pet won’t be sharing the space with another client’s dog or cat. We have one entrance and are careful to keep the door closed. Shy cats can start in a quiet bedroom and come out when they feel ready. Dogs get walks and outdoor breaks based on their usual schedule. For visits in your home, I follow your instructions for caring for your pet and securing your home before I leave. I send photos and updates so you know how the visit went.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I match their energy. For dogs, that might mean a long walk exploring the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or just relaxed time together on the couch. For cats, I focus on quiet playtime, a few favorite toys, and letting them set the pace, especially if they're shy at first. Either way, they'll get my full attention the whole visit.
