"I provide personalized pet care in my clients' homes, ensuring pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. Whether it's a day, a week, or longer, I stay as long as necessary to keep them happy and stress-free. My focus is on giving them companionship, attention, and a safe, loving experience while their owners are away."

Information Barbara S. would like to know about your pet

To give your pet the best care possible, I appreciate knowing a few key things in advance: 🐾 Personality & Preferences – Are they playful or shy? Do they enjoy cuddles or need space? Knowing their temperament helps me connect with them right away. 🍽️ Feeding Routine – Meal times, portion sizes, special diets, and favorite treats. 🚶 Exercise Needs – How often do they need walks or playtime? Are they high-energy or more relaxed? 💊 Health & Medications – Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications they need (and how they like to take them!). 🐶 House Rules – Are they allowed on furniture? Any areas that are off-limits? Routine is important and I’ll follow yours closely. The more I know, the more I can make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home—even when you’re away.

A typical day

I love making sure pets feel happy, safe, and entertained while their humans are away! Depending on your pet’s personality and preferences, here are some of the fun activities I enjoy doing: 🐾 Walks & Outdoor Adventures – Long strolls around the neighborhood, dog parks, or nature trails if they’re up for it! 🎾 Playtime – Fetch, tug-of-war, laser pointer chases, hide-and-seek with toys or treats—anything to keep them engaged and active. 📸 Pet Photo Updates – I’ll send you cute photo and video updates so you can see all the fun your fur baby is having. 🐾 Every pet is unique, so I always take time to learn their routine and favorite activities to make them feel loved and comfortable.
