Teaching gives me a consistent schedule, which allows me to provide reliable, well-timed care for pets. With flexibility in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and school breaks, I’m able to give pets focused attention and stick closely to their routines.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide attentive, routine-based care tailored to each pet’s needs. I take time to learn their feeding schedule, walking routine, energy level, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home: Pets are welcomed into a calm, clean, and safe environment. I maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest. Dogs receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I supervise interactions closely and make sure pets always feel safe and relaxed. In a client’s home: I respect your space and follow your pet’s established routine exactly. I provide walks, feeding, playtime, medication (if needed), and bathroom breaks as instructed. I also make sure your home is left tidy and secure. Regular updates, photos, and notes are sent so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is always the same—keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free while giving owners complete peace of mind.

Pet care experience

Charlie sounds like an absolute legend 🐶 He is a 70-pound goldendoodle who is basically the perfect combo of big, goofy, and lovable. Charlie has that shaggy, teddy-bear look that makes people smile before he even does anything. At that size, he’s big enough to think he’s a guard dog… but let’s be honest—he’s more likely guarding snacks and personal space on the couch. Charlie’s the kind of dog who: • Leans his full 70 pounds into you like he’s “just saying hi” • Acts shocked every single time he sees his reflection • Knows exactly when food is involved, even if it’s three rooms away • Somehow takes up the entire couch while still insisting he’s a lap dog Charlie usually has that perfect mix of friendly, smart, and slightly dramatic. He’s great with kids, loves attention from literally everyone, and has mastered the art of looking deeply offended when it’s time for a bath or grooming. Charlie is not just a dog—he’s a full-time family member, part-time comedian, and professional heart-stealer. • I treat every dog like my own. Your dog isn’t just a booking on my calendar—they get genuine care, attention, and affection. • Clear, consistent communication. I send regular updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. • Reliability you can trust. I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and keep routines consistent. • Patient and attentive. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. • Safe, calm environment. Your dog will be cared for in a clean, secure, and stress-free space. • Experience with different personalities. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors, I adjust my care to fit the dog.
