Pet care experience

Your pets safety & comfort come 1st

Hi there! I’m a nursing student with a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up surrounded by animals taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand each pet’s unique needs. I’ve also gained personal experience caring for pets with serious medical conditions. One of my dogs has CHF, and another is currently living with liver failure, so I’m very comfortable managing medications, monitoring symptoms, and staying calm and attentive during more complex care routines. This background has made me even more compassionate, detail-oriented, and confident when supporting pets with special needs. I’m an excellent problem-solver, calm under pressure, and attentive to detail skills I’ve strengthened through my nursing studies and bring into every pet care situation. Whether your pet needs walks, snuggles, medication, or just a dependable friend while you’re away, I’m here to help. I truly love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a high fenced yard and 2 cats. Very clean home, nothing for them to get into. And I am very vigilant and will see if anything happens.

Before caring for your pet, I like to know a few important details so I can keep them safe, happy, and comfortable: • Daily routine: feeding schedule, walk times, nap habits, and what their normal day looks like. • Personality: shy, energetic, cuddly, independent anything that helps me understand their behavior. • Triggers or fears: loud noises, other dogs, new people, car rides, etc. • Medical needs: medications, allergies, mobility issues, or anything I should monitor closely. • House rules: furniture rules, crate training, treat limits, or specific training cues you use. • Social preferences: how they do with other dogs, cats, or strangers. • Favorite things: toys, games, treats, and anything that makes them feel at home. My goal is to give your pet the same care they get from you, so the more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor each visit to their needs!
