Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable pet care you can count on!
We have been life long animal lovers - raising a combined 30+ animals (both domestic and farm). We recently lost our 2 dogs, after raising them from puppies and cherishing every moment! Now with our kids, we've decided the best way to fill our hearts is by helping care for other families' beloved pets. With years of hands-on experience (and the added insight of having a father who's a large & small animal veterinarian), we bring both loving care & extra peace of mind to every walk, play session, and cuddle.

Ratings and reviews
Appreciated the daily updates from Ian and knew that Laney was safe with this family. However, Laney is a small, older dog and was not a good fit for this sitter's 2 children.
Ian was great; provided daily updates and was quick to respond when I asked questions and was also willing to adjust care based on Bella's needs.
excellent 100%
Loved the EASE of working with Ian. Never worried if or when he was going to show up. Appreciate the time he spent with our pups.
Ian was absolutely wonderful with my cat! He came to the house every single day, took the time to play and engage with kitty, and kept me completely in the loop. His communication was stellar from start to finish. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my timid cat was in such caring, reliable hands. I will definitely be booking him again!
Super kind and communicated with an update once a day. Definitely recommend to anyone that needs help with their four-legged family member. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again for future dog-sitter needs.

Schedule
We have two adults who work full-time from home, so our availability and presence within the house is very flexible. Our children are school aged (Kindergarten & 1st Grade) so they are home during non-school hours.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The largest animals we have owned are Rottweilers down to most recently a Pomeranian, so experience in safety is vast! We have a fully fenced in yard (or fenced in deck if your animal prefers to be off the grass) - both offer plenty of shade for potty breaks outside. We have a dedicated dog room for safe sleep and rest - which is on the same floor as our normal living area and primary bedroom. We definitely consider pets & animals to be an extension of family and are treated as so - with attention and free roam of the home and furniture.
A typical day
We like to adjust our playtime based on the dog's personality and needs. With active dogs, we have plenty of space to run and play outside and take walks, or inside our very dog friendly home. Chew toys & fetch are our language! For older or less active dogs, our hands are always free for rubs and cuddling. Our camera roll is filled with photos of our own dogs, so we'd love to share daily updates on your fur-babies fun time!
