New to Care
This is a criminal background check required for all caregiver before they can message families.
I've personally cared for a variety of animals over the years--including four dogs, one cat, two birds, and a guinea pig--which has given me a deep understanding of different personalities, needs, and behaviors. From energetic walks and playtime to gentle companionship and feeding routines, I know how to adapt to each animal's unique temperament and build trust through patience and consistency. My experience spans every stage of pet care--from playful puppies to aging dogs needing extra attention--and has taught me the importance of clear communication, safety, and empathy. I take pride in treating every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and secure when their owners are away. Whether it's a long walk to burn energy, a quiet check-in visit, or specialized care for a shy or senior pet, I bring reliability, affection, and experience to every visit.
