I’ve had all kinds of animals my entire life, so being around pets and taking care of them has always just come naturally to me. Right now I have two of my own, and they’re truly like my kids—I treat them with a lot of love, attention, and care, and that’s exactly how I approach every pet I watch. What really sets me apart is how seriously I take that responsibility. I don’t just “watch” pets—I treat them like they’re my own, or how I would want someone to treat mine. That means making sure they’re not only safe, but comfortable, getting attention, exercise, and sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m comfortable with all types of pets—high-energy dogs that need long walks and play, as well as more laid-back or older pets that just need patience and a calm environment. I pay attention to behavior, mood, and the little things, because I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your animal. At the end of the day, I just genuinely love being around animals, and I want both you and your pet to feel completely at ease while you’re away.
