I have a current Police Check issued 01/08/2026 that I’m happy to provide on request. I’ve always loved animals and grew up with dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. I currently have a rescue cat, Alfie, and two miniature schnauzers, Clara and Louie. I also worked as a veterinary receptionist for two years, giving me experience with animals of all ages, personalities and health needs. I’m Fear Free Certified and take a calm, gentle approach, especially with puppies, senior pets and anxious animals. I’m happy to give routine oral or topical medications when needed. I work full-time Monday to Friday, so I’m available for dog walks and home visits before work or after 5:30 pm, with much more flexibility on weekends. I offer 30+ minute walks, home visits for feeding, medication, playtime and general care, as well as weekend house sitting. I’m based in Maryland and usually travel within 15 minutes. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and other small animals, and I’m always happy to meet first so we can make sure everyone’s a good fit.
