Pet care experience

Dog owner, treats yours like family

As a dog owner myself, I truly understand how much your pup means to you, they’re family, not just a pet. I currently have an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy (Moomin) of my own, so I know firsthand the energy, playfulness, and training that goes into raising a happy, well-adjusted dog. Over the past year, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, playtime, and all the little routines that keep a dog happy and healthy. I love taking dogs to the park for fresh air, playtime, and socializing with other pups, but I’m just as happy keeping them calm company at home if that’s what they prefer, I adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level. I’m attentive to every little cue, whether it’s excitement, anxiety, or just wanting a belly rub, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable the whole time. I also like to keep you updated with quick messages and photos throughout our time together, so you always know your pup is happy, safe, and having a great time.

Schedule

Pet care fits really well into my routine. I’m a full-time software engineer working a hybrid schedule with flexible hours (10 AM–3 PM). I’m typically out of the house on Mondays and Tuesdays, work from home the rest of the weekdays, and I’m completely off on weekends. My schedule is also flexible enough that I can adjust days if needed to match your pup’s needs. On the days I’m home, I have plenty of time for walks, play, and feeding, and I’m usually happy to have a dog keep me company while I work. I regularly cuddle and work alongside my own Golden Retriever puppy, so I’m used to balancing focused work with giving a dog attention, short breaks, and check-ins throughout the day. It means your pup won’t just be looked after, they’ll genuinely have company and companionship all day long.

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, I make sure dogs feel comfortable and settled right away, giving them a calm space to relax along with plenty of playtime and cuddles. Since I have my own Golden Retriever puppy, my home is already dog-friendly and set up for a happy, active pet. I take dogs for regular walks and trips to the park, letting them socialize with other dogs when they enjoy it, or keeping things calmer and quieter if that suits them better. I always adapt to each dog’s personality and energy level rather than sticking to one routine for every pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions the owner gives me, so the dog feels as little disruption as possible. I’m attentive to their comfort and cues throughout, and I send regular updates with messages and photos so owners always know how their pup is doing.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping things fun and active for the pups I watch. Depending on their energy level and preferences, we might head to the park for playtime and socializing with other dogs, go for long walks to explore the neighborhood, or even go swimming since my own pup loves the water. I’m also happy to do simple things like fetch, tug of war, or just cuddle time on the couch if that’s more their speed. I always adapt activities to match each dog’s personality, whether they’re a high-energy pup ready for adventure or a calmer dog who prefers a relaxed day with lots of attention and affection.

Before I start caring for your pup, it’s really helpful to know their daily routine, including feeding times, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions or allergies. I’d also love to know their personality: are they social and outgoing, or a bit shy and need time to warm up? Any behavioral quirks, triggers, or things that make them anxious are important too, so I can be prepared and keep them comfortable. Please also let me know about any medications, medical conditions, or vet contact info just in case. Lastly, sharing their favorite toys, activities, or comfort items helps me make their time with me feel as close to home as possible.
