Highlights
Pet care experience
Avid animal lover, Vet expertise!
🐾 About Me Hi there, and welcome to my profile! With over 10 years of hands-on animal care experience, I bring both professional training and a deep love for pets to every visit. I spent 6 years working as a Veterinary Technician, where I gained extensive knowledge in animal health, behavior, and emergency care. For the past 3 years, I’ve dedicated myself full-time to pet sitting — and I absolutely love what I do! I’m especially confident caring for pets with medical conditions or special needs, whether that means administering medications, monitoring behavior, or simply giving them the extra patience and love they deserve. When your pets are with me, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved — just like they would at home. Please note: I do host pets from multiple families at a time, but I completely understand that some pets prefer a quieter, solo stay. If your pet would be more comfortable with their own space, just let me know — I’m happy to arrange private, single-pet stays to accommodate their needs. While I do have pets of my own, they are reptiles who stay safely enclosed in their tanks and will not interact with your pets.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In My Home: When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, cozy, and structured environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to walks, medication, and cuddle time. I offer a mix of play, enrichment, and quiet time, tailored to your pet’s energy level and personality. If your pet prefers alone time or doesn’t do well with other animals, I’m happy to accommodate private, solo stays to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. While I do host pets from multiple families, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. In Your Home: For pets who feel more comfortable in their own space, I also offer care in your home. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I provide dependable, respectful service — keeping your pet’s routine consistent and your home tidy and secure. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away. In both settings, you can expect professional, compassionate care rooted in my background as a veterinary technician. I’m fully comfortable with pets who have medical or special needs and will always go the extra mile to make sure they feel loved and safe.
A typical day
I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy while they’re in my care! For pups staying with me, I make sure they get outside at least four times a day, including one longer walk for extra exercise and enrichment. I’ll always ask about your pet’s usual routine to make sure their needs, energy level, and preferences are being met — whether that means playtime, extra snuggles, or a quiet spot to relax. If your pup loves to socialize, trips to local dog parks can be arranged upon request. And for longer stays, I like to treat my furry guests to an owner-approved hike in the area — it’s a great way for them to explore, sniff, and burn off some energy in nature. Whether it’s fetch in the backyard, enrichment toys, or just a comfy spot in the sun, I tailor each day to your pet’s personality and comfort level — always with safety, fun, and love in mind.

- Before caring for any pet, I like to get a full picture of their routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the most comfortable and consistent care possible. Some key things I always ask about include: 🐾 Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions 🐾 Daily routine 🐾 Medical conditions or medications 🐾 Behavioral quirks — Are they shy? Energetic? Protective? Escape artists? 🐾 Social preferences — Do they enjoy other animals or prefer solo time? 🐾 Triggers or fears (like loud noises, strangers, or other dogs) 🐾 Commands or cues they know and respond to The more I know upfront, the better I can tailor their care.
