Safety and trust are my top priorities in every home I care for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or my own, I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs before care begins. I have extensive experience with young puppies, including potty training, crate training, supervision, and enforcing safe boundaries. I’m especially vigilant with pets who are known to swallow foreign objects, and I practice constant supervision, environmental checks, and proactive management to prevent accidents as I have had 2 dogs with issues eating non-edible objects. I’m also very comfortable caring for dogs recovering from surgery or illness. With my vet tech training and medical foster experience, I can confidently administer medications, monitor incision sites, restrict activity as needed, and watch closely for any signs of discomfort or complications. I follow all veterinary and owner instructions carefully and provide detailed daily updates. In clients’ homes, I respect the space as if it were my own maintaining cleanliness, following household rules, and ensuring pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. In my own home, I prioritize controlled introductions, safe separation when needed, and structured routines to ensure every pet’s safety and comfort. I use positive reinforcement, clear communication, and attentive supervision to build trust with both pets and owners, providing calm, reliable, and knowledgeable care at all times.

My typical day is highly structured, consistent, and predictable, which allows me to provide calm, safe, and enriching care for every dog I work with. I currently have a young dog and a working-breed puppy, so my daily routine is built around intentional training, individual attention, and thoughtful enrichment. Each morning begins with individual walks and short training sessions tailored to each dog, followed by breakfast. I prioritize low-stress routes such as parks, green spaces, and quieter areas, and I avoid main roads and close, uncontrolled interactions with unfamiliar dogs. I carefully read each dog’s body language and adjust activities based on their comfort level, energy, and owner preferences. Midday includes training and feeding for my puppy, along with enrichment activities and mental stimulation for my older dog. In the evening, I repeat individual walks, training, and meals to maintain consistency and prevent overstimulation. At night, dogs are settled into their crates with a calming enrichment activity, followed by a rewarded potty break after 3–4 hours crated On weekends, I intentionally expose my dogs to new environments to practice calm settling in higher-stimulation settings, and we attend weekly training classes to continue skill-building and socialization. This structured approach allows me to meet each dog’s physical and mental needs while maintaining safety, predictability, and positive experiences whether that looks like walks, play, training reinforcement, or quiet companionship. I am well prepared and ready to do the same with any dog in my care to make sure their time with me is as fun, exciting, and as low stress as possible while thier family is away. My parent is also stay at home, so there are multiple people at home 24/7 providing full-time care and TLC for all the pups
