Pet care experience
Your Pet’s Second Favorite Human!
Hi! I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years for friends, neighbors, and family members. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks or drop-ins, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding in my home, as my dog is not comfortable around new people or animals. However, this has given me valuable experience working with different temperaments and understanding how to read body language, manage boundaries, and create a calm, safe environment for every pet I care for. Because of this, I’m especially attentive and patient, and I prioritize making sure your pet feels secure and comfortable at all times. I’m happy to follow detailed routines and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and secure. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, play, litter box or yard clean-up, and any special instructions you provide. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and energy level. For more active pets, I make sure they get proper exercise and engagement. For shy or senior pets, I provide a calm, patient presence and move at their pace. I’m attentive to details like fresh water, secure doors and gates, clean feeding areas, and overall home respect while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I work as a freelance handyman, which gives me a flexible and self-managed workday. I’m able to plan my projects around drop-ins, walks, and visits to ensure pets receive consistent and timely care. Since I set my own schedule, I can be reliable with morning, midday, and evening visits, and I prioritize communication and punctuality. Your pet’s routine and well-being will always be factored into my daily planning.
