I live in an apartment (not fenced), so for boarding in my home, I can only accept small dogs. Your pet must be very friendly and comfortable around a toddler and cats, as I have an 18-month-old and two cats at home. My cats are used to dogs as long as the dog is respectful, and my little one is gentle, but safety for everyone is my top priority. Because I’m a stay-at-home mom during the day, pets need to be especially friendly if I’m caring for them while my child is awake. For evening/overnight services (after 8 PM), I’m able to care for pets on my own, but I still require them to be friendly and safe to handle. Why you can trust me: I’ve been pursuing a career in animal care for years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University and also have my veterinary assistant certification. I’ve worked at CAMP LA in San Pedro for 5 years as a veterinary assistant and currently work as a relief technician on weekends while continuing my education to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). I’ve also volunteered with Marine Mammal Care Center and have two sweet male cats of my own. My goal is simple: To provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where your pet is treated like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them comfortable, I’ll make sure they feel cared for every step of the way 💛

For boarding in my home, the day starts with a potty break right away. All pets must be fully potty trained, as I live in an apartment with a toddler and two curious cats so we keep everything clean and safe for everyone. We’ll head out for a 20-minute walk so your dog can properly relieve themselves and get some fresh air. Once we’re back inside, it’s breakfast time food and water are refreshed, and then we allow for relaxation time so they can comfortably digest. After that, we move into playtime or another walk, depending on your pet’s needs and energy level. Throughout the day, I focus on a balance of: Walks Play and engagement Rest and comfort For drop-in visits or house sitting, I follow a similar routine based on the time I have: Walk/potty break Feeding and fresh water Playtime or attention Medication (if needed, given exactly on schedule) If you have a cat, I can also: Clean litter boxes Refill food and water Wash bowls and keep their area tidy My goal is to keep your pet on a comfortable, consistent routine while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Because I am a stay-at-home mom during the weekdays and may have my child with me, pets must be friendly and safe around a baby. Safety is my top priority for everyone involved 💛
