Pet care experience
Dog Lover & Caring Pet Sitter
I’m an experienced in-home pet care provider and a proud doodle mom, which is part of what sparked my love for structured, attentive dog care. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, beginning in childhood where I learned grooming skills from my grandmother, who trained and cared for Poodles and Bichons. I also grew up caring for a Maltese rescue, which gave me early hands-on experience with daily care, behavior, and routine management. Later, I served as a manager at a dog boarding facility in Indiana, where I gained extensive experience caring for a wide range of dogs in structured, high-responsibility environments. I now live in Florida and provide in-home care focused on comfort, routine, and trust in the pet’s own environment. I am experienced in administering medications, including: Oral medications, Topical treatments & Injections I have also handled minor injuries and coordinated vet visits when needed, always following the owner’s instructions and preferred veterinarian. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy working breeds to small companion dogs with specialized needs. 🐾 Additional Animal Experience In addition to dogs and cats, I have provided care for: Horses Chickens Rabbits Fish Reptiles This experience has strengthened my ability to adapt quickly to different routines, environments, and care requirements.

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience caring for dogs and cats through friends, family, neighbors, and long-term clients. I am comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and insulin, and I have experience supporting both puppies in training and senior dogs needing mobility assistance. I am also familiar with reinforcing training routines and can continue basic commands or behavioral expectations.. just let me know! I'd love to help continue that when the pup is in my care.
