Pet care experience

Dog Daycare Pro with a Big Heart

I have cared for pets both professionally and personally throughout my life. I previously worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I also assisted with grooming and cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m experienced with high-needs pets, following detailed medication routines, and administering insulin injections. I’ve also had pets of my own throughout my life, so I understand how important it is to provide attentive, dependable, and loving care for our special companions.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care through walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions, keep doors and gates securely closed, use leashes and harnesses as directed, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, settled, and well cared for.

Schedule

I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to make pet care a consistent and unrushed part of my daily routine. I can accommodate weekday and weekend visits, walks, feeding schedules, medication routines, and pets who need extra time or attention. I’m active, organized, and dependable, and I’ll carefully follow your pet’s established routine so they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.

Before caring for your pet, I’d like to understand their normal routine, personality, energy level, favorite activities, and any fears, sensitivities, or triggers. Please let me know about medications, medical conditions, allergies, dietary restrictions, behavioral concerns, escape tendencies, and how they interact with other animals and people. I’d also like clear instructions for feeding, walks, household access, emergency contacts, and anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable.
