Pet care experience
Your Pets, Loved Like My Own
I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. I grew up with Cody, a large chocolate Lab who was an amazing family dog. I was responsible for feeding him, walking him, and helping with his everyday care. Through taking care of him, I became very comfortable handling and caring for larger dogs. I’ve also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs and have experience with basic pet sitting, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and will treat every pet I care for like they’re part of the family.

Schedule
I’m a student at CSU Channel Islands and only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with breaks between classes that allow me to come home throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, walks, and care they need. I also live with two close friends who are very responsible, so someone is almost always home, making our place a great environment for pets who enjoy having people around.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet like they’re my own and always follow the owner’s routine and instructions. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and bathroom breaks. I’m also very respectful of each pet’s personality and comfort level and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away.
A typical day
I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time to keep your dog active and entertained. I live in a secure, gated, dog-friendly community just steps from the beach, with a fenced-in dog area and plenty of safe places to walk with very little car traffic. A typical day could include walks along the beach, playing in the water if your dog enjoys it, spending time in the fenced dog area, or just exploring the neighborhood. I also love hiking and being outdoors, so I’d be happy to take higher-energy dogs on longer walks or hikes. At the same time, I’m just as happy staying in, cooking, relaxing, and keeping a calmer dog company. I’m very flexible and can adjust the day around your dog’s personality, energy level, and routine.
