Experienced, "Tail"-ored Care!

Pet care experience

Hey there! I have 15+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from the incredible joy of a puppy or kitten to the wise and wonderful senior companions. I have been trusted by friends, family, and clients many times over with the care of their animals. I have a gentle touch and deep bond with them, helping ensure they feel loved and safe during their stay. Your furry friend will receive an abundance of love and attention, just as my own! They'll receive plenty of affectionate cuddles, belly rubs, and soothing words to make them feel right at home. Playtime is a priority, and frequent walks will be a delightful adventure. I understand the importance of routine, so if your pet has one, I'll gladly follow it to provide them with a sense of familiarity and comfort. I'll do all I can so they feel happy, loved, and well-cared for during their time with me. I'm a specialist in senior pets, too: when it comes to medications, special diets, or more complicated care you can rely on me. I have experience with all medication administration (excluding injections). You can trust me to safely and appropriately handle a complicated pet care situation -- I've been there, and I know what it's like to have things go wrong. With me, it won't.

Information Octavia S. would like to know about your pet

I highly appreciate information about your pets preferred activity level, relevant medical issues/limitations, and their favorite ways to have fun! It's also important to know if your dog likes solitary excursions without other pups around, or is a friendly fiend!

A typical day

Your pet will enjoy a variety of activities tailored to their needs. We'll go on regular walks in the neighborhood, providing exercise and fresh air. The local park will be a great place for them to play and have fun. If your pet already knows some tricks, we can work on perfecting them. I'm also happy to introduce new tricks to keep them mentally stimulated. Together, we'll ensure your pet stays active and engaged through walks, playtime, and the opportunity to learn and showcase their skills!

Availability

With my current availability and commitment, pet care fits perfectly into my daily schedule. As a recent college graduate taking the Summer off, I have plenty of open time before I start my master's degree in the fall. This means I can devote a significant amount of time to your furry companions. My flexible schedule allows me to be there for your pets consistently, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'm around most weekdays except for occasional afternoon coffee runs, meetups with friends, or shopping trips. They're just a few hours, so my daily routine is home-based. I genuinely value the importance of maintaining a schedule that suits your pets' needs, and I am dedicated to providing the highest quality of care within that framework. Your furry friends will be in capable and loving hands, receiving the attention and care they deserve as an integral part of my schedule.
