About: I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, compassionate, and reliable care. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and currently care for my own dog every day. Through years of helping friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve gained experience feeding, walking, playing with, and providing companionship for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and will follow your pet’s routine exactly as instructed. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’ve also worked in an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with feeding, cleaning, exercising, socializing, and safely handling animals in a variety of situations. I am a freelancer, which allows me to work from home and set my own schedule. I have a flexible routine and can accommodate dog walking and drop-in visits during the day and evening, with the exception of late-night hours. I plan to start offering boarding services once I move into a home with a fenced backyard. I am currently living in an apartment, so I focus on providing pets with a safe, calm, and comfortable environment through attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. For drop-in visits and walks at a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routines, respect their space, and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. I prioritize safety by paying attention to each pet’s needs, keeping them secure, and creating a stress-free experience
