About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 4 years, caring for pets like they’re my own. One of my regular clients is the woman who does my hair and lashes—she trusts me so much, I’m the only person she asks to watch her dogs. I’ve also helped friends, family, and neighbors by walking, feeding, and bathing pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m dependable, gentle, and always happy to follow special care instructions to keep pets happy and safe. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. I only have one in-person class Tuesday–Thursday for a few hours, so I’m free most days and weekends to care for your pets. I’ll have plenty of time to walk, play, and keep them company throughout the week. I prefer to dog sit in the client’s home, as I live in an apartment with roommates. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress. I will ensure they are cared for in a safe, loving atmosphere, with plenty of attention and affection.

“She did an amazing job with my more difficult senior dogs! She gave me peace of mind during my long vacation that my dogs were taken care of and not stressed out at the boarders. She’s the best!”


About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my comprehensive understanding of diverse pet needs, coupled with a genuine passion for their well-being that extends beyond basic care. Many sitters offer walks and feedings, but my approach is deeply rooted in providing specialized, individualized care that addresses both their physical and mental health. For instance, my experience with puppy care goes beyond house-training; I'm adept at positive reinforcement techniques, early socialization, and laying the groundwork for basic obedience, helping them develop into well-adjusted adults. When it comes to senior care, I understand the unique challenges that come with aging pets – from administering multiple medications on strict schedules, to recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, to providing gentle, supportive mobility assistance for those with arthritis or limited movement. I'm also highly experienced with pets with special medical needs, including administering injections, managing dietary restrictions for allergies or illnesses, and closely monitoring for any changes in their condition. My background as an avid cleaner means your home will be just as tidy as you left it, and my extensive supply of extra blankets, toys, food, and treats ensures I'm always prepared for any unexpected need or simply to offer a little extra comfort and fun. Ultimately, it's my proactive, attentive, and deeply compassionate approach to every pet's unique personality and requirements that provides true peace of mind for their owners. Even with a packed schedule of classes and a part-time job, incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is a non-negotiable part of my life. It's a constant balancing act, starting with early morning walks and feedings before I head to campus or work. Throughout the day, I'm always mindful of their needs, whether it's a quick pit stop home between lectures for a potty break or making sure they have enough food and fresh water. Evenings are dedicated to quality time – longer walks, playtime, and settling down together while I tackle homework. Weekends are when I can truly spoil them with extended adventures to the park or extra-long cuddle sessions. It takes planning and effort, but the joy and companionship my pets bring into my life make every moment of that routine completely worthwhile. When pets stay with me, my focus is always on providing a safe, trustworthy, and enriching environment that feels like a second home. I go beyond the basics, conducting thorough safety checks to eliminate hazards, maintaining a pristine and pet-friendly clean home, and being fully prepared for any emergencies with a well-stocked pet first-aid kit. Building trust is key, so I strictly follow their established routines for feeding and medication, and keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, ensuring peace of mind. Beyond safety and trust, I create an enriching environment filled with daily walks tailored to their energy, engaging playtime with a variety of toys, and mental stimulation through puzzle games or new experiences. I always have a supply of extra blankets, food, and treats on hand, and I'm meticulous about their grooming and any necessary medical care. Ultimately, my aim is to make their stay as comfortable, happy, and stimulating as possible, treating them with the same love and attention they receive from their own families.
