About: What Sets Me Apart from Other Sitters? I treat every dog like they’re part of my family—because while you're away, they are. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, I specialize in providing personalized care that fits your dog’s unique needs. 🐶 Puppy Pro? Absolutely. I'm skilled in helping puppies stick to potty-training routines, basic commands, and gentle socialization. 🦴 Senior Dog Savvy. I have experience with senior pups who need a slower pace, medication management, mobility support, and lots of patient love. 🛏️ Stress-Free Environment. My home is calm, clean, and kennel-free (unless otherwise requested), with plenty of space for play, rest, and snuggles. 🏃♂️ Active & Engaging. Whether it’s daily walks, fetch in the yard, or mentally stimulating games, I keep your pup engaged and happy. 💬 Clear Communication. I send regular updates with photos, so you never feel far from your furry friend. Working from home allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day—not just during breaks or after hours. I structure my workday around their needs, which means: 🐾 Morning Routine: We start the day with a walk or some playtime to burn off energy and set a calm tone. Midday Breaks: I take regular breaks to give them attention, bathroom breaks, or just some cuddle time—great for both of us! 🍽️ Meal & Medication Schedules: I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and on track. 🐶 Supervised Play & Rest: Whether they’re playing in a safe, fenced yard or napping nearby while I work, I’m always close by to supervise and ensure they’re happy and relaxed. 📸 Daily Updates: I take a few minutes each day to send you pictures or notes so you know how your pet’s doing. Because I’m home all day, your dog is never left alone for long—and that peace of mind is something I take pride in offering. 🐶 Supervised Play & Rest: Whether they’re playing in a safe, fenced yard or napping nearby while I work, I’m always close by to supervise and ensure they’re happy and relaxed.
“Jamie did great with our two dogs while we were gone for a night, they’ve never really been apart from us so it was an ease of mind to know she was there to keep them in routine and give them good company.”

“Claire was the perfect sitter! She is professional and a great communicator. We were out of the country and felt completely at ease knowing she was with our two dogs. She kept in touch daily with updates and pictures. When we got home, we could tell the dogs (and our house) were well taken care of. She also proactively offered to stay longer, knowing a snow storm was on the way that may delay our travel. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a long-term sitter.”

Harley stayed with Lindsay for almost a week while I was out of state. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand and Harley immediately felt comfortable around her. This was his first time staying with someone while I was gone, but I felt confident he was in great hands. He came home happy and well cared for!

Meadow was absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of our two cats. They adored her! She administered our cat’s insulin twice daily, gave them lots of snuggles, played with them, brushed them, took great care of their litter, sent us many pictures and updates, and much more! We felt so good knowing our kitty’s were so well taken care of! We would love to have her care for our kitty’s again!
