Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Best Friend!

Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I currently have two cats, and I also grew up with many cats and dogs over the years, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own; with patience, attention, and lots of love!! Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra care, I’m happy to adapt and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always keep you updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always tailor my care to each pet’s specific routine and needs. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up after dogs, and give plenty of attention, playtime, or exercise depending on the pet. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure your pet is comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious pets and give them time to warm up at their own pace. I also keep your home clean and respected while you’re gone and provide regular updates, including photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment, keeping routines consistent and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for.

Payton is my go-to walker when we need someone for our dog! She is always on time, quick to respond, and goes the extra mile to write a note and take cute pictures. We really appreciate it!!

Payton is amazing! She’s a great communicator and it’s obvious she cares deeply about the animals she watches. Her reliability is comforting; I highly recommend her.

Payton took the best care of my babies and she administered medication properly to our older cat. She was very communicative and thoughtful, and ensured that we got to see our girls every day.

Schedule

My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention and consistent care. I’m currently working toward my flight instructor ratings, so most of my time is spent studying and training, which keeps me local and available. When I’m not flying, I enjoy line dancing and staying active, but I always plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of routines, whether your pet needs drop-ins, walks, playtime, or just a calm, consistent presence.
