Pet care experience

15 Mins from the Airport

For over 15 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for animals like they’re my own—welcoming them into a warm, peaceful home where they can feel safe, relaxed, and truly loved. My home has plenty of space to stretch out, and a large, secure backyard where pups can wander, play, and go outside whenever they please. Whether your dog loves a little sunshine, a quiet nap, or simply being near someone who cares, there’s always a comfortable spot waiting for them here. I take daily walks, usually a few miles, so your pup will enjoy fresh air, gentle exercise, and the kind of steady routine that keeps them happy and at ease. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s needs, whether they’re full of energy or moving at a slower, more thoughtful pace. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I understand how to create a calm, reassuring environment, especially for older dogs who need a little extra patience, or for pups who may be away from home for the first time. Here, your dog isn’t just being watched—they’re being cared for, comforted, and included. A home full of warmth. A yard made for sun bathing. Care you can feel good about.

Arlene was extremely professional and my dog didn’t want to leave when I picked him up! Grateful to have Arlene on our team!

Arlene was truly one of the most attentive sitters Beau has ever had. She kept us updated with daily photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Beau was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. We would absolutely book with her again!

Arlene has watched my sweet boy, Gabbana, for years. She always makes sure he's happy and well cared for. He never has a problem eating when he's at her house and she takes Gabbana on the longest walks throughout the day. It's a bonus that she has a backyard because Gabbana can lounge out in the sun. I highly recommend Arlene to any fur parent.

When i need my dogs watched i go to Arlene and Arlene only. She’s the best, most reliable pet sitter that I know and I recommend her service 10 times out of 10. You won’t be disappointed

I can’t say enough great things about Arlene! She is responsible, kind, and genuinely loves animals. My pet was happy, relaxed, and well cared for while with her, and I appreciated the regular updates she provided. It’s clear she takes pride in what she does and puts real effort into giving pets the best care possible. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a dependable pet caregiver.

Arlene is an incredibly reliable and caring pet caregiver. She treats every pet like her own and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing my pet is in her care. She’s attentive, communicative, and truly passionate about animals. I highly recommend Arlene to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!

Schedule

I'm self-employed and live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood with a community park, several pet-friendly outdoor parks, and a walkable city that allows your fur baby to get the exercise they need. I have all the time to take your pups on potty breaks and keep your cats away from the curtains.

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve cared for many sweet pets over the years, and I’m probably spending time with one as you read this. Each fur baby leaves feeling loved, content, and just a bit more at home, and it always warms my heart to see them return, tails wagging, ready for more gentle playtime with Milo.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore a big park near my house.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Crate-trained dogs only
Arlene can host up to 4 pets per night
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My preference is for all pups to have their nails trimmed for safety and to protect flooring
