Animals are such a joy, I should honestly pay you for letting me spend time with your pet! But alas, that’s not how this works. I’m attentive, reliable, patient, and very good at reading animals’ personalities and needs. I’m deeply committed to making both pets and owners feel comfortable, and I do my very best to keep pets on their normal routine for everyone’s ease and peace of mind. I grew up with a golden retriever named Rusty and an orange cat named Charlie. Whenever neighbors traveled, I was the first call to watch their pets. My earliest regular clients included a stubborn Scottie terrier, a shy German Shepherd-Beagle mix, and an excitable Rottweiler who taught me how to hold a leash just right. As Sally the Rottweiler got older, I also learned how to administer her medication and care for senior dogs with patience and consistency. Long walks, short walks, hikes, parks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, medications, and high-maintenance personalities are all within my wheelhouse. If needed, I am also happy to house your pet at my home in Los Feliz, which is currently pet free with an enclosed front yard and very calming energy. I also have years of experience caring for young children and sick adults, and I bring that same level of attentiveness, tenderness, and responsibility to every animal I care for. In my care, your pet will be safe, loved, and very photographed. I’m happy to send as many photos and updates as you’d like during our time together. I have a flexible schedule, I’m very responsible, and I’m fully prepared to become both you and your pet’s new favorite caretaker.
