About: I’ve always had pets in my life and I would love to care for yours! I have some experience volunteering at a shelter and sitting for my relatives. I’ve always loved helping them and now I can’t wait to help you and all of your fur babies! I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. Most days I am available after 1pm and I am always available on weekends! I have two dogs and three cats to keep your babies entertained! If that doesn’t work for you I have crates if needed. I have a fenced in yard and walking distance from a park to take your dogs on walks!
“Amazing, devoted and patient.”
About: I bring personal experience, genuine care, and versatility to every pet I look after. I currently care for my senior dog at home, so I understand the extra love, patience, and attention older pets need—whether it's administering medication, assisting with mobility, or just offering a calm presence. I also have experience with both big and small dogs, and I’m comfortable handling different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or anything in between, I adapt to their needs. In addition to dogs, I’m also comfortable caring for small animals like guinea pigs and understand their unique care routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. I am a currently a college student with a a fully remote internship so I can provide the time and attention your dog needs while you're away. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, medication, playtime, or just company, I make sure your pet feels cared for and not alone while you're away. I’m also respectful of your space, keeping things tidy and secure. For pets with special needs, like senior dogs or small animals/fish, I take extra time to make sure they’re safe and happy. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
