Pet care experience

Missing Paw Prints & Walks

I was a proud Shih Tzu owner for many years until I had to say goodbye to my beloved companion a year ago. He was my little shadow, following me everywhere and making sure I never missed a daily walk. While I’m not quite ready to welcome another dog into my home permanently, I would love the opportunity to care for yours. As a former dog owner, I understand the importance of patience, routine, exercise, companionship, and lots of affection. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and attentive experience.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time remotely from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I also work as a nurse 1–2 nights per week, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special needs. I provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and walks based on each pet’s personality and energy level. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their preferences and routines. As a nurse, I am detail-oriented, dependable, and attentive to changes in behavior or health concerns. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their furry family member is happy and well cared for while they are away.
