Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, Dependable, Detail Oriented
Transport, Medications, All Sizes/Breeds/Ages, Any Diet (including Raw) Every pet in my care receives my sole focus during our time together. You can travel with peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are enjoying the comforts of their own routine, sleeping arrangements, walking routes, and meals. I strive to create minimal disruption to your pet’s typical days, provide consistent enrichment, get plenty of exercise in and follow all dietary or medical needs. I am a confident walker, creating strong relationships with each dog in order to provide a safe and fun excursion for your pet and those around us. Reactive dogs are in good hands, and no challenge for me. Backyard play, hiking, and other forms of exercise are all within my wheelhouse. I can walk dogs on/off leash at request depending on local rules. My credentials include over a decade of professional care experience for humans & animals of all ages/abilities. I am in the process of acquiring a certification in R+ behavioral training for canines - this is a completely positive reinforcement based program! I strive to work on communication as a solid base for training. Whether you need a drop in during a long work day, or a week away with the family, I will happily keep your pets cozy until you return.

Safety, trust & environment
While I cannot board pets in my own home, I embrace any and all safety measures instructed, as well as anticipate any safety issues and resolve them before an incident can occur.
Ratings and reviews
August gives both kitties the kind of attention they want. One is playful and the other is quiet but loves his rubs. They each get what they need and seem quite content when we are gone. Communication is easy and when our return flight was delayed, a quick text was: sent and the kitties got an extra visit. Have been very happy with the care August gives our two little ones. Definitely a 5 star.
August is literally THE BEST! They stayed with our baby Apollo for nearly 3 weeks and took the absolute best care of him and our house! We got great updates daily and August made sure that Apollo was having a good time even though we were away. I always feel guilty leaving our pal behind when we are on a trip, but he was in the best hands with August and I didn’t even once have to worry! I can’t say enough great things about them and I know Apollo sees August as a true best pal (and he is very discerning with people!!). Thank you August!
My babies were loved on and so happy in August’s care. Came home to happy dogs and a clean and tidy dog area. August kept in communication with me and took care of minor cleaning issues that popped up. Cannot wait for August to watch our babies again!!!
Fabulous as always!! August is amazing with my pets and such a great communicator. Always such a pleasure having August check on our pups. Highly recommended!!
August was amazing! Our pups had never stayed with anyone before and I was worried how they might react. The most unique and quirky pups did great with August! Will certainly be seeking his services in the future😊
August provided great weekend care for our two large breed dogs and two indoor cats. He was proactive with communication and always followed up quickly. He provided several updates during his stay and was willing to go above and beyond normal pet sitting duties. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend August to others, or to have him sit for us again. Thank you, August!

Schedule
My schedule is completely adaptable to your pet’s needs and routine. This is my sole profession, and my goal is to create zero disturbance in the way your pet usually does things. Please feel free to give me detailed schedule instructions.
