Pet care experience

Raised with Paws!🐾

If love had a headcount, mine would be 3 dogs and 11 cats deep. Growing up, animals were a constant part of our home — from midnight vet emergencies to lazy Sunday naps with a cat on my chest and a dog at my feet. They've been my companions since childhood, and caring for them has always felt natural. After getting married and moving, I haven't had pets of my own — and honestly, I miss having that presence at home. Pet sitting feels like a wonderful way to bring that connection back into my life while giving your furry friend the same love and attention I grew up giving. I learned early that every pet has their own personality! the diva cat who only eats from a certain bowl, the dog who insists on three walks and negotiates for a fourth. Patience, routine, and a whole lot of belly rubs are second nature to me. Your pet won't just be "watched” they'll be genuinely cared for and treated like part of the family, because to me, they always have been. Looking forward to meeting your furry (or fluffy, or feathery) family member!

Schedule

I work on my art from home, which means I'm around for most of the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and company! not just quick check-ins. Whether it's a calm cat curled up nearby while I work or a dog needing a midday walk, I have the flexibility to build their care right into my day!

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a 2-bedroom condo (Unit 1), and pets are welcome on the couch and furniture — treated just like family. We also have a private, fully fenced backyard with access limited only to our unit, giving pets a safe and secure space to play and relax outdoors. I love going for walks and am always happy to take your pet along — there are several dog parks near our home, so they'll have a wonderful time exploring and socializing. We have essential things for your pet - Medium size bed, food and water bowl, toys, and treat bags!! To make your pet feel even more comfortable bring his/her essentials.

A typical day

❄️ Winter Pet Care Note (December–February) 🐾 During winter, I provide one 30-minute walk per day and backyard potty breaks every 3–4 hours. Outdoor time may be adjusted based on weather conditions to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Thank you for your understanding! ❤️ A loving, home-like day filled with walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy throughout the day, with regular potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of companionship.
