Pet care experience

Tail Wags Start Here

I've been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our household always had four or more animals, and today I have two dogs and a cat of my own. From energetic puppies to older pets, I've experienced every stage of a pet's life and understand what they need. As a competitive post collegiate distance runner, I live an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks, runs, or plenty of playtime. At the same time, I know that not every pet has the same energy level, so I'm happy to match each pet's routine (I do enjoy some couch time too!) I've cared for a wide variety of breeds and personalities, including labs, hounds, pit mixes, shepherd mixes, mixed breeds, orange tabby cats, and tuxedo cats. I've also cared for senior pets, administered basic medications and preventative treatments, and I'm comfortable following any care instructions to keep your pet healthy and happy. One thing that sets me apart is that my mom is a veterinarian. While I'm not a veterinarian myself, I've grown up learning about animal health, behavior, and responsible pet care, giving me a stronger understanding of dogs and cats than the average pet owner. Above all, I'll treat your pet with the same attention, patience, and care that I give my own.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or yours, I treat them like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable while following your care instructions closely. When caring for pets in your home, I also understand the importance of respecting your space. I'll keep your home clean and exactly as you left it while providing regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I currently work part-time, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide dependable care. While my afternoons and evenings are generally the most open, I'm happy to accommodate morning visits or other requested times whenever possible. I understand that every owner has different scheduling needs, so I'm always open to communicating and finding a time that works best for both you and your pet. Because my schedule is flexible, I'm able to give pets the attention they deserve instead of rushing through visits. Whether it's a walk, play session, feeding, or simply spending quality time together, I'll make sure your pet receives the care and affection they need while you're away. My goal is to provide reliable, stress-free care that fits into both your routine and your pet's.

Before caring for your pet, I'd love to learn a little about them! Let me know about their daily routine, favorite activities, any quirks or habits, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I'd also appreciate knowing about any medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, or behaviors I should be aware of, as well as how they do around other people or animals. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your pet feel comfortable and provide the kind of care that both you and your pet are used to. My goal is to respect both your preferences and your pet's, avoid situations either of you aren't comfortable with, and make every visit a positive experience for everyone involved.
