Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat foster + rescue volunteer
I’ve been around dogs and cats for years, starting in college when I regularly walked and cared for my roommate’s American Eskimo. I adopted my own cat six years ago. since she’s meant to be the only child, and I just love cats, I decided to spend some time with the cats who don’t have a family yet :) I now volunteer weekly at Perry’s Place in North Hollywood, where I socialize cats and kittens and help potential adopters find their match. I also have hands-on experience fostering weaned kittens and administering oral medication, so I’m comfortable with pets who need extra care.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible to minimize stress: same feeding schedule, same walking routes, same rules. I double check that doors and gates are locked, keep an eye out for anything that could be a hazard, and never leave a pet unsupervised in an unsafe situation. I will keep in close contact with you throughout the visit, sending photo updates and flagging anything unusual right away, whether it’s a health concern or just a change in behavior. For cats, I’m attentive to litter box needs, fresh water, and any signs of stress or hiding. For dogs, I make sure walks and any yard time are secure and supervised
