Hi! I’m a new pet sitter currently living in Australia on a gap year from New York, and I’m excited to spend my time doing what I love most: caring for animals. I’ve always been a pet lover at heart, with a particular soft spot for cats, but dogs and I get along just as naturally. Back home, I cared for my own guinea pig, an experience that taught me patience, consistency, and how important close attention is to an animal’s comfort, routine, and safety—especially when it comes to gentle handling and noticing small changes in behavior. I genuinely enjoy walking, playing, and spending quality time with animals, and I’m a very active person who loves being outdoors, so long walks are something I truly look forward to.

I pride myself on creating a calm yet upbeat environment that helps animals feel safe and comfortable, especially in new settings or when meeting someone new. I approach unfamiliar environments carefully and always prioritize an animal’s well-being. In the event of an emergency, I stay calm, act quickly, and follow all owner and veterinary instructions. To ensure the best possible care, I require emergency contact information, vet details, and a brief medical history before taking on any booking. I treat every animal as if they were my own and believe preparation and communication are key to happy pets and peace of mind for owners.
