Pet care experience

Teacher that loves animals!

I recently moved to the area and am teaching at a high school after graduating in May 2023. In my free time, I enjoy helping care for people's pets while they are away on trips or at work. Over the past 10 years, I have provided love and care to a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and lizards. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, and dogs with severe health issues.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I like to communicate with the owner a few times prior to caring for their pet to ensure that their pet gets the best care.

My prices are all listed on my profile, but if you have any questions, feel free to reach out! I also offer visits that are less than 30 minutes; just let me know what you are looking for in a sitter, and I am happy to accommodate.
