Pet care experience

Rescue Volunteer & Future Vet

I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, as I have three cats and a rescue dog of my own. Volunteering at an animal rescue has also given me hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and special needs. I’m comfortable with everything from training puppies to providing care for senior pets. Plus, I’m starting vet school next year, so you can trust that I have a deep commitment to animal welfare and am equipped to handle a wide range of pet care situations with love and knowledge.

Sara is always so great with my Charlie boy! She takes him to the dog park and to get pup cups! Charlie is always in great hands when he’s with her. I feel so comfortable leaving him with her!

As a student who works remotely, my schedule is flexible and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which means I can provide plenty of attention, regular walks, and care for your pets. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m available to ensure your pets are well cared for and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

In my apartment, I offer a safe and comfortable environment for pets. With a fenced yard, I ensure dogs have a secure outdoor space to play and exercise. I also have dog crates available if needed, providing a cozy, familiar spot for your pet to rest or feel secure. Whether at my home or yours, I focus on safety and providing a stress-free environment, keeping pets comfortable, well-cared for, and supervised at all times.

Pets

A typical day

When caring for pets, I love to engage them in activities that suit their personalities and needs. For dogs, we’ll go on walks, play fetch, and enjoy time in the fenced yard for a safe game of chase or outdoor relaxation. I also provide plenty of indoor play, whether it’s tug-of-war or working with puzzle toys to keep their minds sharp. For cats, I offer interactive play with toys, plenty of cuddle time, and space to explore. I’m committed to making sure every pet has fun and feels at home while they’re with me!

Before caring for your pets, it’s important for me to know a few key details to ensure their safety and comfort. Please share any information about their rabies vaccination status, history of biting or aggressive behavior, especially towards other animals (dogs or cats), and any known allergies or sensitivities. This helps me create a safe, tailored care plan that suits their individual needs and ensures they have the best experience during their stay with me.
