About: With a lifetime of pet ownership and years of caring for pets of family, friends, and neighbors, I truly understand what it means to love and care for animals. I've had pets my whole life, and providing them with daily attention, exercise, and affection is second nature to me. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved just like they do at home. As a crossing guard, I work just a few hours in the early morning and again in the late afternoon, which means I have a large block of free time in the middle of the day. This flexible schedule allows me to give your pet attention throughout the day including morning, mid-afternoon, and evening care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I’m here to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I treat them like part of my own family. I always follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, giving medication, or reinforcing crate training, I’ll make sure everything is done just the way you would do it. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities. I’m committed to doing whatever is needed to keep them happy, healthy, and relaxed in their own familiar environment because that’s where they thrive best.
