Pet care experience

Lifelong Dog Lover

I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Growing up with dogs has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, and understanding of each pet’s unique needs and personality. I currently have an elderly Chihuahua-Pug mix named Moki, and I also occasionally care for my mom’s Great Pyrenees, so I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves to play, enjoys relaxing on the couch, or needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I genuinely love animals and will treat your pet with the same care, affection, and respect I would want for my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, boundaries, and specific needs before caring for them. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your dog is supervised, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention. I also understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone else, so I’ll communicate with you and provide updates so you know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Schedule

I am a full-time senior student at Montana State University and work in an as-needed CNA position at the local hospital, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m able to work pet care into my routine and make sure your dog gets plenty of companionship, exercise, and care. I understand that every pet has a different routine, so I’m happy to work with you to maintain their normal schedule as much as possible. Whether your dog needs a midday visit, a walk, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make their care a priority.

I’d love to know your pet’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite toys or activities, and anything that makes them feel comfortable or nervous. It’s also helpful to know how they do around other people and animals, any house rules, and anything specific I should be aware of to make sure they feel safe and happy!
