Pet care experience
Your Pet's Best Friends
Caring for animals isn’t just what we do—it’s our passion and life’s work. With a combined 40 years of experience in the pet care field, we’ve dedicated ourselves to ensuring that every animal in our care feels safe, happy, and loved. Lamar has spent 25 years working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior companions—through his work as a vet tech, dog trainer, pet daycare manager, and experienced pet sitter and walker. His deep understanding of animal behavior allows us to provide specialized care tailored to each pet’s needs. Amy’s 20-year journey with animals has included fostering, administering medication to both cats and dogs, and sharing her home with a variety of beloved pets, including her Walter. Together, we’ve undergone intensive obedience and therapy dog training, which has reinforced our approach of patience, positive reinforcement, and compassionate care. Our pet-friendly home includes a three-year-old dog, a five-year-old cat, and a bunny (who has a separate space), making it a welcoming and enriching environment for visiting pets. Whether your furry friend needs daily walks, enrichment activities, or a cozy home-away-from-home, we treat every pet like family. With decades of hands-on experience and a deep love for animals, we’re committed to providing the best care possible. We can’t wait to meet your pet!

Ratings and reviews
Fantastic as always. Even my timid cat came out to say hi to Amy (and that is saying something). Looking forward to the next booking.
Amy is very thoughful and willingly works with all the quirks we have with sitting for our cat--medicine changes, food changes, and finally a garage keypad that decided to stop working the day of our trip!
Amy & Lamar are the best! Our pup loves spending time at their home. He’s always so excited when we drop him off. They send us pics and videos so we know he’s well taken care of.
Amy was a wonderful person and dog walker. She truly took care of Louie and he looked forward to his walks.
Love that I can trust that Tabasco will be taken care of while I’m gone!
Amy is a wonderful sitter, friendly and supportive! Ahmi had a super nice time with her.

Pet care seamlessly integrates into our flexible schedule, which revolves around freelance work done from home. This setup allows us to provide attentive and reliable care for pets throughout the day, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. We love taking dogs to the dog park or beach, always prioritizing their safety and comfort. Whether it's a stroll in the neighborhood, playtime indoors, or exploring outdoor adventures, we adapt to the needs and preferences of each pet, fostering an environment where they can thrive and enjoy themselves to the fullest.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In our pet-friendly home, every pet receives personalized care and attention tailored to their individual needs. With a fenced-in yard providing a safe and secure environment, pets can enjoy supervised outdoor playtime and ample room to explore and stretch their legs. My dog, Walter, is a friendly and sociable companion who loves the company of both dogs and people alike. He eagerly welcomes new friends and enjoys engaging in play and activities that promote socialization and happiness among all pets in our care. Inside, my home is equipped with cozy spaces and designated areas where pets can relax comfortably, ensuring they feel at ease and at home throughout their stay. With a commitment to creating a nurturing and loving atmosphere, we strive to make every pet's visit a positive and enjoyable experience.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day for the pets we care for begins with a warm welcome and a pet-friendly environment. After our morning routine, we often start with playtime in the yard, a walk around the neighborhood or a nearby park, where dogs can stretch their legs, explore new scents, and enjoy some fresh air. During our outings, we ensure safety and provide positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior and social interaction with other pets and people. Back at home, playtime is an essential part of the day. Whether it's a game of fetch in the backyard, interactive toys indoors, or a stimulating puzzle for mental exercise, each pet receives personalized attention and activities that cater to their interests and energy levels. For dogs like Walter, who loves playing with others, supervised play sessions and socializing with visiting pets are a highlight, fostering a sense of camaraderie and fun. Throughout the day, regular breaks for water and snacks are provided to keep pets hydrated and satisfied. Additionally, quiet times are scheduled for relaxation and rest, ensuring a balanced and comfortable experience. With a focus on creating a nurturing and engaging environment, every day is filled with opportunities for pets to stay active, happy, and well-cared for under our watchful eyes.
