Availability
As a stay-at-home mom with older, more independent children, my daytime schedule allows me the flexibility to be away from home during the day. I would love to use that time to care for and spend time with animals, as they bring me a great sense of joy and fulfillment. This opportunity allows me to focus my attention on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care to pets while their families are away.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive, compassionate care for pets and their homes while their families are away. I focus on consistent engagement, companionship, and creating a calm, reassuring presence tailored to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Rather than a fixed routine, I adapt to what each pet responds to best—whether that’s play, quiet company, or gentle check-ins throughout the day. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I also respect and maintain the home with mindfulness and care, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

Lover of all animals! Here for you!
Pet care experience
Animals have been a part of my life for nearly 50 years, and caring for them has always been a true passion of mine. I have years of volunteer experience working with rescues and sanctuaries, and I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the years, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and even a pig of my own. I’m looking to spend my free time helping care for your pets so you can feel confident and at ease knowing they’ll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that you give them every day. 💖
