About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve had pets my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. From playful puppies to senior dogs and cats needing extra support, I have experience providing loving, reliable care at every stage of life. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, and following specific routines to make sure your pet feels safe and at home, even while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable to different energy levels, temperaments, and needs. Whether your pet needs an extra-long walk to burn energy, slow and gentle care for aging joints, or just a lot of affection and companionship, I’m here to provide the right kind of support. My lifetime of experience, combined with my genuine love for animals, ensures that your pet will be in good hands. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine because I prioritize flexibility around my clients’ needs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I structure my day to give pets the consistent attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Making time for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a task to check off, I also see this as a way to maintain my own active lifestyle so it’s a win win! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I create a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow any routines or specific instructions carefully to make sure each pet feels secure and stress-free. I always prioritize safety, whether that means securing leashes properly, monitoring food and medication schedules, or keeping playtime supervised. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I’m committed to treating every home and animal with respect and care.

“Kerstyn is great! She has watched my dog several times and she always does a excellent job with him. She is very energetic and is great about taking him on walks and playing with him. She is also responsible and attentive to his special care instructions. I definitely recommend her for anyone looking for quality petcare!”

“Amy saved the day for my chiweenie, Willar and I. Her pup Winston is a such a cute little guy and very mild mannered. Amy took great care of my little senior pup currently on a special diet and needing lots of attention and affection. Amy was also flexible and understanding of my own separation anxiety being away from my furbaby 😄”

“Hc is a sitter found in heaven. She loves dogs, is very attentive and loving to each of the day care group and has her own sweet lab mix JJ. My dog loved to come and stay at Hc and rumble through the garden or house with the other pups, and we will be back next week.”

“Jisoo is absolutely fantastic! She’s communicative, thorough, and trustworthy. I’m so happy to have had her look after Maggie. Thank you, Jisoo.”

“Thanks for the easy, fast communication and taking such good care of our dog for day care! The update pictures and text were much appreciated. Would definitely book again.”

“Sabrina is awesome! Our dog can be a little anxious or defensive, but Sabrina made him feel right at home and by the time we arrived to pick him up, they’d become fast friends. Highly recommend doggy daycare with Sabrina.”

“If dogs could write reviews, Hannah would have a five-paw rating with tail wags all around. She’s the kind of person who brings treats and a first-aid kit, because she's a healthcare professional! Loyal, compassionate, and as dependable as your dog’s internal clock at dinner time, Hannah is the walker every pup dreams of. Whether it’s a casual stroll or a squirrel-chasing sprint, your furry friend is in loving, capable hands.”

“Scruffy loved his three days of doggy daycare with Miryam! She took him for lots of walks and he came home very happy. She was a great communicator and we look forward to seeing her and her husband again!”

“Alexis and Katie were amazing to Louie (my dog). Louie was tired yet very happy when returning home, and I know it was as a result of playing a ton. Alexis was very communicative and shared plenty of great pictures that made me feel very comfortable. We will be booking again in the future, and I truly recommend them if you are looking for a great dog sitter”

“Merry and her family were so sweet with Kulfi. She gave her her meds on time and sent us lots of updates so we knew she had a blast. We would definitely book again!”

“I highly recommend Mike as a pet sitter! He did a fantastic job caring for my bulldog/boxer mix, who isn’t always the easiest dog to handle. My dog came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved. I appreciated the regular updates and photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again!”

“Riley took great care of my cat and two dogs, and they all loved him. We communicated and met up before my planned trip to go over the details. My home was clean and orderly when I returned. And most importantly, my pets were safe, happy, and loved. He exceeded my expectations for a pet sitter!”

“I left my dog with Sierra for a weekend and I couldn’t have been more pleased. She sent update pictures at least once a day to show how my dog Millie was doing. When I came to pick her up, I could tell that she really enjoyed it at Sierra’s house. I definitely would recommend her to watch and take care of your dog.”

“Isabella was super friendly and communicative! She was flexible with me as I had a big work day and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my boy with her!”

“Belle had a great day with Diana! Belle was happy & tired when I picked her up. Will definitely book again!”

“Caroline was great to work with! Very friendly and very flexible, and our dog was very happy with her.”

“Amanda has taken care of my golden doodle, Lincoln, on multiple occasions. She is very loving with him as he is an anxious guy. She is thoughtful about sending pictures and updates of Linc when we are out of town which makes the vacation or time away so much more enjoyable. I appreciate her attention to detail with giving medication and being consistent with his meds. I always know my fur baby will be in great hands with Amanda. Thank you Amanda and go luck with your Rover clients!”
