Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard that we do not use chemicals on and monitor for pests or plants that are not animal friendly. Home comes stocked with a friendly playful dog, toys, and cat that will probably hide.

Information Art S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special requirements such as medications or allergies. Feel free to pack a single toy and comfort blanket for your pup if they prefer.
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, active, and cared for! We’ll start with a morning walk to get some fresh air and burn off energy, followed by feeding and playtime—whether that means fetch, tug-of-war, or just some belly rubs and snuggles. Throughout the day, I keep your pet engaged with fun activities suited to their personality. High-energy dogs can enjoy structured play, short training refreshers, or yard time, and extra walks if requested, while more relaxed pups will get plenty of love, gentle attention, and companionship. If I’m watching your dog overnight, I stick to their normal routine to keep things stress-free and familiar. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and notes about how your pet is doing—so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and having a great time.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Art I’ve spent the past 10+ years immersed in the world of dogs—personally, professionally, and through volunteer work. From working at PetSmart to volunteering in dog rehabilitation programs, I’ve built deep experience with pups of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’ve been a proud dog owner for over a decade and a trusted sitter for friends, family, and clients who rely on me for consistent, loving care. Whether your dog needs high-energy playtime, gentle companionship, medication, or just a calm, dependable presence—I’ve got it covered. Dogs aren't just animals to me—they’re family. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, and loved whether it’s for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay. You’ll get plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in experienced hands. Let’s set up a Meet & Greet—I’d love to meet you and your pup!

Art also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
We felt so good knowing Olive was in Art's hands while we were away. His friendliness and knowledge made Olive feel comfortable while we were gone. Art kept in touch with us and sent us pictures after having some great play time. We will definitely use Art again.
Awesome service, kind and professional!
Art is very quick to respond to my requests and my puppy loves spending his time with him whenever he comes to take him for his walks. Very professional and courteous, I will continue to use him.
My first time using the app. Art was very responsive and my puppy is going to rest well tonight!! Thank you!’
