Pet care experience

Reliable and Patient

Working as a technician at a dog daycare and boarding facility has given me professional, hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I work with dogs who have a wide variety of needs, from energetic puppies who require patience and structure to senior dogs or those with hearing/vision implications who need extra care and attention. I also have gotten the chance to work with dogs with mental health considerations like anxiety and CCD and have learned a lot about helping ensure they are comfortable and cared for. In addition to my professional experience, I've been caring for my own dogs and those of family and friends for as long as I can remember. One of my most rewarding experiences was being the primary caregiver for my dog during his ACL surgery recovery—a process that lasted nearly a year and taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and careful monitoring. I'm comfortable with crate training, leash training, administering routine care, and reinforcing basic commands and positive behaviors. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and my commitment to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while family is away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and do my best to maintain their normal routine, reducing stress and ensuring both pets and their owners have peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pet. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your routine to help your pet feel secure—this includes regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on your needs. I make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection while you’re away. Clean-up, medication (if needed), and keeping you updated with photos (My favorite part, of course :))

Sammie is the biggest animal lover I know. As her boyfriend I am constantly asked if we can get a dog or any pet as she always wants to be around animals. When she comes to my home, she is essential my dogs personal handmaid at beck and call, due to her love for animals. I trust no one more than Sammie to take proper care of any pet.

Before caring for your pet, I like to know as much as possible to provide the best experience for both of you. This includes any medical conditions, allergies, or medications, as well as feeding routines, potty schedules, and behavioral quirks. I also like to know how your pet reacts to other animals, strangers, loud noises, or being alone. The more details you share, the better I can tailor my care to keep your pet happy, safe, and stress-free.
