About: 7 years of loving your pets. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — not just as pets, but as companions, teachers, and joy-bringers. I’ve always felt most at peace when I’m surrounded by animals and nature. Whether I’m hiking a quiet trail with a furry friend by my side, playing fetch in an open field, or simply relaxing on a porch after a long day outdoors, I find happiness in the simple, grounded connection that dogs and the natural world provide. I value patience, kindness, and structure — all qualities that guide the way I care for animals. For me, caring for dogs isn't just a job — it’s who I am at my core. I am a dedicated and compassionate animal care professional with hands-on experience in canine enrichment, behavioral observation, and facility operations. At Woof Pack Pet Services in Boone, NC, I served as an Enrichment Counselor, Kennel Attendant, and New Hire Trainer, where I led tailored group enrichment sessions to promote dogs' mental well-being, trained new staff in safe and effective animal handling protocols, and developed individualized care plans for dogs with medical or behavioral needs. I also administered medications, monitored health changes, and maintained strong communication with both clients and veterinary professionals to ensure timely care. At Mills River Dog Camp in Mills River, NC, I expanded my leadership skills as a Shift Supervisor, managing the daily care of over 50 dogs, supervising staff, and implementing training and de-escalation strategies for anxious or reactive dogs. I’m experienced in maintaining detailed health and behavior records and have consistently prioritized both animal welfare and client satisfaction through attentive care, structured routines, and open communication. When you trust me with your pet, you're not just getting someone who knows how to follow instructions — you're getting someone who genuinely cares. I have extensive hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including those with medical needs, behavioral challenges, or a little extra anxiety. I treat every animal with the same level of attentiveness, patience, and love that I would want for my own. I believe in clear communication, both with animals and their people, and I always aim to provide peace of mind through consistent care, safety, and respect. Whether your pet needs a playful buddy, a calm presence, or a structured routine, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is an integral part of my life and a true passion. Daily, I dedicate time to understanding and meeting each animal’s unique needs—whether it’s through enrichment activities, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Over the years, I’ve developed routines that prioritize the physical and emotional well-being of pets in my care, balancing structured schedules with flexibility to respond to individual behaviors and health changes. Weekly, I continuously update my knowledge on animal behavior and care techniques to ensure the highest quality of service. I am now seeking to turn this dedication into a full-time career where I can combine my hands-on experience, love for animals, and commitment to their welfare to make a meaningful difference every day. I tailor my pet care approach based on the environment and individual needs of each animal. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and engaging space with plenty of enrichment activities, consistent routines, and close monitoring of health and behavior to ensure pets feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routines, preferences, and any specific care instructions. I focus on maintaining consistency to reduce stress, providing companionship, administering medications if needed, and keeping the environment clean and secure. Communication with the pet owner is key to ensuring their pet’s needs are met and any concerns are promptly addressed. My priority is always the well-being and happiness of the pet, adapting my care style to create a positive, trusting experience whether at home or theirs.

About: Growing up, we had all the sorts of pets that one can imagine…dogs and cats mostly and the whole family took part in taking wonderful care of them. I personally have had my cat, Clarence, for about 13 years now and he still acts like a kitten! Love that guy with all my heart. I love dogs too, but I’d like to have a fenced in yard before I get another one. I help out with friends and family whenever they need help house/pet sitting and enjoy it very much (that’s how I get my dog time in 😊). I’ve also worked for a company called Fairy Tails in DC. It’s my sister’s company, and I help whenever I visit. All in all I’d treat your pet like it were my own, and I’m also used to different types of personalities in pets and don’t shy away from the shy ones. I do have a regular job that would require me to be away for 8 hours at a time. I work mostly evenings starting at 3:30pm. With enough notice, I can take the time out to stop by or even stay over as long as it’s not too far away. Thanks for your consideration! My cat, Clarence, gets along with other pets. Trust me when I say that he doesn’t lack in the love department. He runs freely inside, but my yard isn’t fenced in, so I don’t let him go out. I would follow pet/house sitting, and dog walking instructions as to whatever the client would request.

About: I have worked with all kinds of dogs. My first job was at a pet resort. animals are my passion, I’m 22 and I have a 3 year old pitbull mix .

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, parrots, farm animals, etc. So I know all the tips and tricks to get an animal to calm down, to get them to go potty, as well as to stop pulling when walking, behave etc. . I’m an active person so your do would never be bored. I treat every animal like it’s my own so it would be going to someone who would love the furry friend as well as someone who would take the best care of him/her. Animals in my mind should be treated like a human family member! I’m currently in college, so as long as your needs can align with my class schedule i’ll be there. to note: I am UNAVAILABLE all tuesdays. I am a very aware and cautious person.
