I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care when you need it most. I’m available throughout the week and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply keeping them company at home. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

About Whitney R.

20 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medications, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet gets attentive and reliable care. I grew up with large dogs and have owned small dogs as an adult, so I understand that different breeds, sizes, and personalities all have unique needs. Safety is something I take very seriously, and I’m naturally very observant and cautious when caring for animals. Before sitting, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, medical needs, behavioral quirks, comfort level with other people or animals, and of course their favorite treats and activities. I have a PhD in Biology and a very detail-oriented, scientifically minded approach, which means I tend to notice and think about things that others may overlook. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident in my care.

Pet care experience

As the longtime caretaker of two senior pets — a 16.5-year-old dachshund and a 13-year-old cat — I’m very experienced with administering medications and providing attentive, patient care to animals with different medical and emotional needs. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and horses since childhood and have also volunteered with dog and cat shelters, as well as a wildlife rescue where I help care for a wide variety of animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same level of care, caution, and affection that I give my own. I’m extremely detail-oriented and proactive — the type of person who researches breeds extensively and learns everything I can to make sure I’m providing the best possible care. If you’re looking for someone responsible, observant, compassionate, and genuinely devoted to animals, I would love to care for your pet.
