PLEASE CHECK MY GALLERY FOR REFERENCES! BE READY FOR LOTS OF PHOTOS! 📸 ⚠️ Last-minute requests have a very high chance of getting booked! I am always on the go and try my best to squeeze in last-minute visits and walks whenever possible. 🙌🏼 🕒 My Routine & Availability (Quick Overview) I am a full-time pet sitter with a highly flexible schedule! I do go in and out throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits, but I have a strict 4–5 hour maximum limit for leaving pets alone, and I always keep my pups active and well-exercised. (For my full daily routine breakdowns, hourly rates for extra attention, and constant care notes, please see my Schedule section below!) 🐶 My Background & Experience Growing up in the Philippines, I was always surrounded by pets and rescue animals, which gave me valuable hands-on experience caring for different species from a very early age. Volunteering at animal shelters and connecting with veterinarians there completely solidified my passion for animal welfare. When I immigrated to the United States, we welcomed a beautiful Golden Retriever into our family, he was my very first dog here in the U.S. and held a massive piece of my heart. When he turned 15, we were heartbreakingly told he only had 2 months left to live. I stepped up to help my stepdad take care of him, walking him 3 to 4 times a day. To our amazement, those consistent, loving walks gave him 1.5 more years of happy life before he peacefully passed away at the age of 17, right on my birthday. My love for animals has only grown since then. I currently have two cats of my own at home named Monkey and Chicken! Over the years, I have also personally adopted senior dogs, giving them a safe, loving place to spend their golden years. Whether your fur baby is a playful kitten, a hig energy pup, or a sweet senior dog who needs a gentle touch, I have spent my entire life caring for them all. 🎒 Puppy Training & Extra Care I have plenty of experience working with young puppies during their crucial early weeks. While I am not a certified professional trainer, I have built a wide knowledge base by networking closely with professional gun dog trainers and pet behaviorists throughout my pet sitting journey. Animals truly bring out the best in me. After undergoing ACL surgery in 2021, animals completely helped me get through that emotional rollercoaster. Giving them the absolute best life while you are away is my way of paying it backward. Going the extra mile for your pet is what I value most! 🎓 A Little More About Me When I’m not caring for your furry family members, I stay active in our community as a student, a volleyball coach, and a frequent volunteer. Balancing these roles has taught me incredible time management and reliability. Because my coaching and volunteering hours are structured and predictable, it’s incredibly easy for me to plan my day around your pet's exact schedule. If you made it all the way to the bottom of my profile, thank you so much for considering me!
