About: I am a passionate animal lover with experience walking dogs in my neighborhood during summer breaks from school. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well-loved. My attentive and compassionate approach sets me apart, as I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or a little extra care, I’m excited to help meet their needs and keep their tails wagging! I'm a part-time student and resident advisor in the area, and while my schedule can fluctuate, I'm generally available on weekends, Monday, and most Wednesdays. I have two cats—one is a stray who enjoys the outdoors but comes inside during the colder months, and the other is an indoor cat who loves to play. I ensure they both get the care they need by feeding them regularly, cleaning their litter boxes, and setting aside time each day to play with them and keep them active. I’m always attentive to their needs and make sure they’re comfortable and happy in my home

I am comfortable administering medication if need be ( I have a lil old lady that needs extra help these days). I am also comfortable handling fractious felines and don’t mind feeding exotic pets. I am currently a part time student so I will have time to watch over your pet(s). I am mostly a home body so I wouldn’t mind bonding with your pet(s) and since I am a student I don’t mind the calmness that comes with the older pets and/or cats. In general, I believe all living beings deserve to be treated with love. Therefore, I will make sure their bowls are clean, they have clean water and they have access to comfort.
