Pet care experience

Experienced Shelter Volunteer

With over 10 years of personal pet ownership and 4 years of dedicated volunteering at animal shelters, I offer a level of expertise you can trust. I specialize in senior care and medical management; I have personal experience caring for my own dog with medical issues and am highly comfortable administering medications. I have worked extensively with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those with aggressive tendencies or anxiety. My goal is to build a bond of trust with your pet while maintaining a 100% reliability rate for you. Whether your pet needs a high-energy workout or patient, specialized care, I am committed to getting the job done right. I prefer dogs but have three cats of my own and am happy to welcome feline friends into my care as well!

Schedule

Pet care is my full-time passion and primary focus, so my schedule is completely open 24/7. Because I am home throughout the day, I provide constant supervision, immediate potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether it’s a mid-day walk, a last-minute boarding, or a strict medication schedule, I am always here to ensure your pet’s routine stays on track. Since I am always available, your pet will never be left alone for long, and I keep my Rover calendar updated in real-time to fit your needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. I offer a large, fully fenced-in backyard where dogs of all sizes can safely run and play. With 10 years of pet care experience and 4 years of shelter volunteering, I am an expert at reading animal body language and handling different temperaments, including anxious or aggressive pets. I am highly comfortable administering oral medications for senior dogs or those with medical issues. In my home, your pet is treated like family; my four children are raised to be gentle and respectful, providing wonderful socialization. I am committed to 100% reliability, providing regular photo updates and immediate communication regarding any behavioral changes.

Pets

A typical day

What fun activities will you do with the pets you watch? Your pet's day will be filled with adventure and affection! Backyard Adventures: Secure, supervised playtime in my large fenced-in yard for fetch and exploration. Neighborhood Explorations: Leashed walks through quiet streets to explore new sights and smells. Interactive Play: Mental and physical stimulation with tug-of-war, puzzle toys, or chasing feathers for my cat guests. Cuddle Time: Plenty of indoor downtime and snuggles so your pet never feels lonely. Photo Updates: I believe in transparent communication and will send regular photo and video updates throughout the day.
