Pet care experience

Reliable. Experienced. Dog Lover.

I’ve had the opportunity to know and take care of so many pets over the past 10 years, they’ve become family to me. I’m an active person who loves playing with dogs and taking them on adventures. I’ve sat and walked many breeds, sizes, and ages, across all kinds of environments, including a long-term role as a private pet care provider for a high-profile client. Animals are a passion of mine, and I believe they deserve only the best from the people who care for them. I’m always eager to make new connections, message me and let’s set something up!

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I’d want for my own — sticking closely to your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions you give me. I’m attentive to their environment, making sure doors and gates are secure and nothing is out of place that could put them at risk. I always keep an eye out for changes in behavior or health, so if anything seems off, you’ll hear from me right away. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, always.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Schedule

My schedule varies week to week since I work shifts that change regularly, but I keep pet care flexible around it. I check my availability closely before committing to anything, so if I say yes, you can count on me to be there. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit both our schedules — just reach out and we’ll figure it out together

Before I watch your pet, it’s helpful to know their feeding and medication schedule, any behavior quirks or triggers I should be aware of, and your vet’s contact info along with emergency instructions. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can keep their routine consistent and respond quickly if anything comes up. Don’t worry about over-explaining — I’d rather have too much info than not enough.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
