About: Hi there! I’m Treva—an experienced and compassionate animal caregiver with a lifelong passion for helping pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m 19 years old and currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to your fur baby. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide the best possible care. My services include dog walking, feeding, medication administration, enrichment activities, playtime, and one-on-one companionship. I’m comfortable handling pets with special medical or behavioral needs, and I always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and routine. I also offer drop-in visits and overnight care for pet parents who need peace of mind while away. With over three years of hands-on experience in professional dog care—and two years spent managing a busy pet facility—I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve bottle-fed newborn puppies, worked with reactive dogs, and supported seniors with mobility issues. I’ve also been active in rescue, fostering, and rehabilitation efforts, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior and the importance of patience and trust. Currently, I have three smart and kind dogs of my own, and we enjoy daily walks and visits to the dog park to get our energy out and stay social. We may live in an apartment, but we make sure to get outside every day for fresh air and fun! When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. I bring a calm, reliable presence, strong organizational skills, and most importantly—a whole lot of love. 🐶💖 Let’s make your pet’s day (and yours) a little brighter! 🌟 I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to care for your fur baby.

I showed a St. Bernard, French bulldog, German shepherd and a Golden retriever. I also showed my ferret and my snake in the small pet show. I will be in school staring end of August so I will have to see what that will look like for me. This summer I will have another job so I will have to make this work around that. Just contact me and I'm sure we can figure something out. I will have to go to your place to care for your animals. I will be in an apartment starting August and my roommate would not be too thrilled if I had animals over to care for. If you really need your pet at my place for a short time then lmk and I will have to talk to my roommate. I will try to make something work.
