After my 16-year-old dog recently passed away, I’ve deeply missed our morning walks and the comforting, warm doggo smell. I love caring for animals and have experience nursing elderly pets.With a full-time job as a doctor, walking other people’s dogs has become a meaningful way to fill the missing piece in my life. I currently have two cats: a Maine Coon who came with my boyfriend, and a stray tuxedo cat whom I nursed from two months of age. I spend most of my free time brushing my cats, playing with them, and giving them lots and lots of cuddles. I also keep a freshwater tank that is heavily planted, home to a curious and confident female betta fish. I would love the opportunity to care for more animals, including dogs, cats, fish, birds, and rodents. If I ever retire, I would happily turn my house into a mini zoo, with separate zones for stray cats, dogs, aquariums, budgies, and mice. I regularly walk my friends’ dogs and provide cat-sitting. I am experienced in administering medication, cleaning pet spaces, long dog walks, and cat litter maintenance.
