“Sam took great care of my 2 senior dogs. She came exactly as we arranged and was very communicative. Would ask Sam to take care of my dogs again without hesitation. Thanks Sam!”


“Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)”


“Laura is great! She is reliable, trustworthy and responsive. Most importantly, she got my shy kitten to come out from under his hiding spot! I will be using her services again in the future for sure!”


“Jaden is great. She wanted to take the time to get to know my pup before house sitting. She was respectful of her boundaries as Missy has anxiety. We are looking forward to having her stay.”


“Brittany was wonderful! We needed someone on shorter notice and she was super flexible and accommodating for both our doggos. They seemed very happy and well taken care of. Thank you, Brittany!!”


About: Even though I don’t have years of professional experience, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m very patient, responsible, and I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs — whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet walks. I’m also great with routines and following your instructions exactly, and I love sending photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I may be new, but I’m 100% committed to providing loving, reliable care. Pet care is a big priority in my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and spend most of the day at home, so I’m able to give pets the attention they need. And if I’m ever unavailable for a short moment, my husband is also home and happy to help — so your pet will never be left alone or unattended. I keep a calm, loving environment with regular walks, playtime, and cuddles, always adjusting to each pet’s needs to make them feel safe and comfortable. I take pet safety and comfort very seriously. In my home, I create a calm and loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for. I always keep the space clean, secure, and free of anything that could be harmful or stressful. I don’t have a yard, but I take dogs on regular walks and to the park for playtime, depending on the weather. Pets are never left alone for long — I spend most of the day at home, and my husband is also here to help if needed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and make sure your pet’s routine, diet, and habits are respected. Whether it’s in my home or yours, your pet will be treated with love, patience, and full attention.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience raising my dog since he was 4 months old, including training in various methods. I’m dedicated to understanding your dog’s unique needs and providing personalized care, whether it’s puppy training or senior dog support. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to offer reliable care during evenings and weekends. I work full time during the week, but I’m available to provide attentive care starting at 4 PM on weekdays and am free for full-day care on most weekends. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe and welcoming environment, with a fenced yard for playtime and outdoor fun. My two friendly dogs enjoy the company of others, so your pet will have a buddy to socialize with. In your home, I ensure your pet’s routine is followed, providing familiar comfort and attention.
