Pet care experience

Safe & loving care for Paws & Claws

I have over six years of experience providing dedicated care for dogs and one year with cats, specializing in everything from overnight house sitting to daily visits for walks, meals, and playtime. As a full-time pet care professional, I easily manage multi-pet households and design balanced routines tailored to each animal's needs. I have extensive experience supporting both high-energy puppies who need basic training reinforcement and senior pets requiring extra patience, gentle pacing, and medication administration. I am incredibly detail-oriented, remain completely calm under pressure, and prioritize consistent communication by sending regular text, photo, and video updates. At home, I have a friendly one-year-old Chihuahua mix who loves welcoming new dog companions. While I dedicate my own mornings, middays, and evenings to your animals, I am personally occupied on weekends between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM. During this brief window, my wife will step in to care for the pets, ensuring your animals are never left unattended and receive uninterrupted, reliable attention. I am genuinely passionate about animals—the kind of person who always stops to greet a dog on the sidewalk—and we will treat your pets with the absolute love, safety, and respect they deserve as members of the family.

Schedule

Pet care is the central focus of my daily schedule. Because I have a highly flexible routine, I am able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and structured play sessions throughout the day. My mornings start with fresh water, feeding, and an initial stretching walk, followed by regular check-ins and companionship every few hours and an evening walk. On weekends, I dedicate extra time to longer walks, outdoor play, ensuring every guest feels safe, engaged, and fully integrated into a stable daily flow.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I closely follow any specific feeding schedules, house rules, and instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I provide constant companionship, keep a watchful eye during play, and give plenty of individual attention, affection, and belly rubs so they feel completely safe and loved while you are away.

Pets

A typical day

I love making sure every pet has a fun, safe, and engaging experience. Depending on each pet’s personality and energy level, we’ll enjoy walks, games of fetch, tug-of-war, playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of belly rubs and cuddles. For more active dogs, I enjoy longer walks and outdoor adventures, while senior pets or more relaxed animals can enjoy gentle strolls and quiet companionship. My goal is to keep every pet happy, comfortable, and feeling loved while you’re away.

Before caring for a pet, I like to learn as much as possible to provide the best experience. Please let me know about your pet’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite toys, exercise needs, and any fears or triggers. I’d also appreciate knowing how they interact with other people and animals, any house rules. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
