Pet care experience

Local Pup Pal

Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. With a background in healthcare, I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate approach to caregiving. Whether it’s a snuggle on the couch, a long walk, or sticking to feeding and medication routines, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. My goal is to create a home-away-from-home experience for your furry family member.

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve been caring for animals since high school, from pet sitting to fostering kittens and helping them find loving homes. I take safety seriously. I make sure the environment is calm, secure, and pet-proofed. I follow any feeding, walking, or medication routines you provide to keep your pet feeling safe and cared for. My goal is always to earn their trust and make them feel as comfortable as they would with you.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, reactivity, or quirks I should be aware of. I want to make sure they feel safe and supported while you're away. My preference is for breeds that are generally friendly, social, or easy-going, but I’m also comfortable working with shy, senior, or high-energy dogs as long as I know what to expect. If your pup pulls on the leash, needs medication, or prefers a specific walking route, just say the word—I’m all about tailoring care to your dog’s vibe.
