Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy Walks, Cozy Cuddles & Care
Pets have been my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up with animals turned me into a true lover of all dogs and cats, no matter their breed, age, or size.Through years of hands-on experience, I have become a trusted caregiver for both canines and felines. I handle everything from high-energy daily walks to comforting overnight stays. Whether your companion is a playful puppy, a senior cat needing medicine, or a pet with unique behavioral needs, I adapt to keep them safe, happy, and loved.

Schedule
As a student, my flexible academic schedule allows me to make pet care a top daily priority. I balance my classes with pet sitting by structuring my days entirely around the needs of the animals I watch, ensuring they never miss a feeding, walk, or medication window. I am fully available for early morning drop-ins, midday exercise breaks between classes, and dedicated overnight house sitting. Because I can study from anywhere, your pet will enjoy constant companionship, and I can easily adapt to their established routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I ensure a secure, loving environment for your pet through strict safety habits and constant communication: Secure Spaces: I double-check locks, gates, and windows, and keep toxic items and choking hazards strictly out of reach. Outdoor Safety: Pets remain securely leashed at all times during outdoor walks to prevent any accidents. Emergency Ready: I always keep your vet's contact details and local 24/7 ER info mapped and ready. Constant Updates: You will receive regular, real-time text and photo updates so you know your pet is thriving.
A typical day
Morning kicks off with a "Sniffari" walk, letting your dog explore every scent to tire out their brain. Breakfast isn't boring either—I serve it in puzzle toys to spark their problem-solving skills! Afternoons are for pure fun. We play indoor hide-and-seek with treats, tackle a homemade cushion obstacle course, and practice fun tricks like "spin" for rewards. For cats, we do high-energy feather wand chases! We wind down with a calming brush-out and plenty of couch cuddles so they feel completely safe, loved, and ready for a good night's sleep.
