Highlights
Pet care experience
Veteran dog dad
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!

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.
Ratings and 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!’
Art has been pet-sitting for me and my pack for years now, and I’ve never once had to worry about a thing. Whether I’m out of town or just coming over for potty/play dates during my long work shifts, he’s my go-to. I trust him with my animals and in my house, and he takes care of my kids as if they are his own. He is responsible, flexible, and best of all an absolute animal lover. My kids all love him and call him “Uncle Art,” (well, they would if they could talk.) I highly recommend him for anybody looking for someone to take care of their pets.
I've seen firsthand the incredible care and compassion he brings to every animal he meets. He has a long history of caregiving for both dogs and cats—walking them, pet-sitting, and even helping with animals that need medication. He knows all the little tricks to make animals feel safe and comfortable, especially those who are shy or fearful. In fact, he's helped rehabilitate pets who were afraid of men, showing just how patient and gentle he is. More than his experience, it's his genuine love for animals that sets him apart. He treats every pet like family, and animals quickly sense that. Any pet would be lucky to be in his care.
