Pet care experience

Calm & Caring Pet Sitter 🐾

I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life. Growing up, my family had a mixed-breed dog who lived to 14 years old, and I was involved in her daily care including walks, bathing, feeding, and companionship. As an adult, I’ve fostered medium-sized dogs under one year old, which helped me gain experience with young dogs, basic training routines, and positive reinforcement. I’m also an experienced cat owner and currently care for two rescue cats. I’ve provided both in-home care and drop-in visits for cats and understand how to tailor care to each pet’s personality and comfort level. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and treating them as individuals, not just following a checklist.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment. I live in a three-story house with a fully fenced yard, and I have a separate room available to safely isolate visiting pets from my own cats when needed. I closely follow each pet’s routine and any instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and special care needs. I never leave pets unsupervised in unfamiliar situations and always prioritize secure doors, leashes, and safe spaces. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide regular updates with photos and notes so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

Schedule

I work during the weekdays, but I’m consistently available for pet care in the evenings after 7:00 PM. On weekends, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate drop-in visits, extended care, and multiple visits per day if needed. I’m reliable with scheduling and always communicate clearly about availability.

Let me know if your pets have any special needs. I can follow your instructions pretty well. I will respect your personal space. Thank you very much!
