Pet care experience

I'll play with your dog all day

I love dogs with all my heart and treat them as if they were my child. I've had my own dog for 5 years before he passed away and have been taking care of my best friends dog while her family goes on vacation. I like to let dogs out every 30-45 minutes, and make sure they're feed when need be. I love to give dogs all the love and attention they deserve and also making sure that they are safe at all times. I am available mainly in the morning and also later at night. Advance notice for walks would be greatly appreciated. I can't wait to meet all of your cute dogs and making new friends along the way and having fun with so many dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s, my approach is always rooted in respect, consistency, and comfort. In my home, I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and pet-safe, with designated spaces for play, rest, and feeding. I stick to structured routines to give pets a sense of security and always tailor care based on each animal’s personality and needs. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it like an extension of my own—respecting their space and following any specific instructions they leave. I pay close attention to their pet’s behavior and body language to make sure they feel relaxed and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, medication, or playtime, I’m big on communication and always aim to keep pets happy, healthy, and loved.

Schedule

Pet care is a core part of my daily routine and something I take a lot of pride in. Whether it's early morning walks, scheduled feeding times, or play sessions, I build my day around making sure the pets in my care feel safe, stimulated, and loved. I also make time each week to check in on their behavior and health, making any adjustments needed to keep them happy and thriving. For me, it’s not just a task—it’s a commitment to their well-being and joy.

If they are friendly with others dogs or not, if they have and specific medical conditions etc, any special requirements they may need. I'd also like to know if they are reactive or not before hand.
