Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate, Trustworthy Dog Care
About Me Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. I grew up with a cat and two dachshunds, all of whom lived well into their senior years. In 2014, I fostered and adopted my beloved pit/lab mix, Roger. Over the years, I’ve fostered several other dogs, including one adopted by my sister and a handful of energetic puppies. In December 2023, a pregnant cat unexpectedly found her way into my life. After just a month of knowing each other, she gave birth to four healthy kittens—right in my closet. We kept her and one of her kittens, a playful orange tabby who fully lives up to the mischievous orange cat reputation. This experience deepened my love and knowledge of feline care, from pregnancy and kittenhood to adult cat behavior and bonding. Sadly, in February 2025, I had to make the difficult decision to put Roger down due to sudden paralysis in his back legs. That moment, though heartbreaking, gave me deeper insight into senior pet care and the emotional depth of the pet-owner bond. I have experience with pets at every stage of life—from newborn kittens and puppies to seniors who need extra patience and medical care. I'm confident administering medication, including pills and eye drops, and making animals feel safe and loved in my care. Availability I’m a full-time Montessori preschool teacher and currently available to care for your pet: Weekdays: Mornings and evenings (before and after work) Weekends: Full availability My Approach Your pet will be treated like family. I’m committed to maintaining their routine—whether that means specific feeding times, favorite walking routes, or a bedtime ritual—so they feel secure and at ease while you're away. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving them the same love and attention I give my own.

Safety, trust & environment
I often care for pets in their home to keep their routines consistent and stress level low but I am open to bringing them into my own home provided they get along with cats.

Schedule
As a full-time Montessori preschool teacher, my schedule allows me to provide pet care during weekday mornings and evenings, as well as full availability on weekends. Pet care has always been a natural part of my routine—whether it’s morning walks, administering medication, or sticking to feeding schedules. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I build it into my day with intention and consistency. I’m mindful of each pet’s unique needs and routine, and I prioritize making them feel safe, loved, and well-cared for, even when their humans are away.

- Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to understand their daily routine, personality, and any special needs. For this reason I require a meet and greet prior to booking so we can meet each other to make sure it’s best fit for all involved. I like to know things like: Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions Medication needs or health concerns Walking routine and energy level How your animal typically behaves with new people or other animals Any anxieties or triggers (e.g., loud noises, separation anxiety) Favorite toys, comfort items, or routines that help them feel secure The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.
