Availability

As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.

Information Travian M. would like to know about your pet

I always like to get a feel for your pet’s personality before we spend time together. What makes them happy? What calms them down? Do they have any quirks I should know about, or things that make them nervous? I also like to know the basics—feeding schedule, how they are on walks, any commands they respond to, or health things to keep in mind. The more I know, the more I can show up for them in a way that feels familiar and comforting. I really just want to make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with me usually includes a good mix of movement, play, and lots of fresh air. I’ve always had a love for staying active and being outside—whether it’s biking, walking, or just exploring a new neighborhood—and I love bringing that energy into pet care. If your pet enjoys walks, we’re definitely getting out and making the most of the day (outside is free and I’m always looking to take advantage of that!). I’m also naturally curious, so I pay close attention to what each pet enjoys—whether that’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just a good belly rub and some quality time. My goal is to keep them engaged, relaxed, and happy throughout the day.

🐾 Loving Sitter, Trusted Friend

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood.
