Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet Tech with > 10 years experience
Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover and veterinary technician with more than 10 years of experience working in veterinary medicine. I’m comfortable caring for animals of all ages, sizes, species, and personalities -from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets, nervous animals, and pets who simply need a little extra patience and understanding. My veterinary background has given me extensive experience recognizing changes in behavior, monitoring animals closely, and providing attentive, compassionate care. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I believe in following their normal routine as closely as possible while they’re in my care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a little playtime and attention during a drop-in, or someone trustworthy to stay with them while you’re away, I’m happy to help. Most importantly, I want you and your pets to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. Your pets will receive patience, attention, and individualized care-not just a quick check-in. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and learn what makes them special!

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I know that staying in their familiar environment can be much less stressful for pets, and I take the time to learn their individual routines, personalities, preferences, and needs. I follow your instructions carefully for feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, enrichment, and bedtime routines. My veterinary technician background also allows me to confidently care for pets with additional medical or behavioral needs, including administering oral and injectable medications when appropriate. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with your pets rather than simply stopping in and leaving. During house sitting, I can maintain a consistent presence and provide companionship, supervision, and attentive care throughout the day. I treat your home with the same respect I would expect for my own. I keep things clean and tidy, follow household instructions, and make sure your pets have a safe and comfortable environment while you’re away. I also believe communication is an important part of pet sitting. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing and feel confident that they are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Schedule
I’m a work-from-home pet mom, which means I have a flexible schedule and spend much of my day at home. I’m able to structure my day around the pets in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. My typical day includes regular breaks for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention. Because I work from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day and can provide consistent companionship while keeping your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. When I’m house sitting, I’m happy to follow your pet’s established schedule and routines, including meals, medications, walks, playtime, and rest. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routine and environment remain familiar, and I strive to make my time with them feel as normal and stress-free as possible. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to give pets more than just a quick visit. I’m able to spend meaningful time with them, keep an eye on their behavior and well-being, and provide the attention and companionship they need throughout the day.
