Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable & Compassionate Pet Care
I've spent several years caring for animals through both my education and professional experience. I am currently studying veterinary medicine at UTCVM, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs and cats, recognizing signs of illness, understanding animal behavior, and learning proper restraint techniques to keep pets safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies and kittens, senior pets, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral medications and can carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care instructions you provide. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing at home, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the pet with the utmost respect. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any household rules you've established. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before taking pets outside and never allow off-leash walks unless they're in a safely enclosed area and you've specifically requested it. I understand that every pet is different. Some love to play and be active, while others simply want companionship and a calm environment. I adjust my care to meet each pet's individual needs and pay close attention to any changes in their behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. Communication is also very important to me. I'll provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit or stay so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve.
