I work part-time and go to school full-time, both in person and online. My work hours are Monday and Friday from 8 to 6:30, and Tuesday and Thursday from 8 to 4. I also have classes on Wednesdays from 12 to 6. With that schedule, I’m usually available for pet sitting in the evenings, early mornings, and on weekends. I can also be flexible for quick drop-ins or shorter visits when my schedule allows.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up and spent my life surrounded by animals of all kinds- reptiles, cats, dogs, birds, etc. I currently work as a veterinary assistant while attending school full time to get my degree in veterinary technology. In the past I worked at a pet food store and fostered kittens in my spare time. My friends and family often come to me first when looking for a pet sitter. I place a high value on quality time with my animals and providing them with the proper attention, enrichment and nutrition to allow them to live full and beautiful lives. For enrichment time I will often make little treat puzzles for them or play with their favorite wand toy.

Sam was with Laila a couple weeks before she passed,but she was amazing and was so patient with my girl. Sam has a great compassionate way towards animals. You'll feel reassurance and know she takes great care of them. 💕
