Since I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily life. Your dog will rarely be left alone, giving me the ability to provide an incredibly flexible schedule. Whether your pup needs frequent potty breaks, multiple walks a day, or just someone to hang out with while they nap, I have the time and presence to give them the exact attention they need.

Information Anthony R. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know your dog's typical daily routine so I can replicate it as closely as possible! Because I have a resident dog and children, it's also important for me to know how your pup generally interacts with kids and other pets, plus any allergies or special needs they might have.

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning walk and breakfast. Because I am home all day, your dog will enjoy free access to the fenced backyard for sunbathing and playing with my dog, Nia. I can provide walks as often as your dog's normal routine requires. Between walks and yard time, we'll hang out in the house, play with toys, and wind down with plenty of evening cuddles with the family.

Anthony was great. He was focused on my dog’s health and well being, sending a perfect number of updates over my dogs extended stay (>9 days). Our dogs played together a lot so I know my dog was not bored. I would definitely book with Anthony again!
