Pet care experience
Reliable & Loving Dog Care
Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for my own dogs since I was 12, and I’m also the trusted dog sitter for my family and friends. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you always have peace of mind!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a trustworthy, loving, and secure environment so you can feel confident while your pet is in my care. I live in a pet-friendly home with a fully fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor play, exercise, and fresh air. I also have a friendly dog who gets along great with both dogs and cats, as well as two sweet cats who are comfortable around other pets. My home has a calm, positive atmosphere, perfect for pets who need a little extra love or reassurance. I understand that every pet has different needs and comfort levels, especially when it comes to interacting with other animals. For your peace of mind: •I can crate your pet if requested •I can keep your pet separate from mine if needed •I follow your routines and safety preferences •I do slow, supervised introductions to ensure comfort •I always maintain a clean, secure environment Whether your pet loves socializing or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I keep a reliable routine, pets get consistent meal times, exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention. Your pet’s schedule will always come first, and I’ll follow any instructions you provide to keep them happy and comfortable.
