Your Fur Babies Deserve Great Care!

Pet care experience

I've cared for pets since I was in high school, and pet care became a regular aspect of my life after I graduated college in 2012. All of my closest friends have quirky rescues, and I've loved caring for each of them in turn. I strive to make pets feel safe and loved.

I've never hired a Pet Sitter to watch my Pups before and was extremely anxious about leaving them with a Stranger for an extended period of time (4 days/nights, but still!!) Blake met with me and the kids in person prior to my trip in order to understand my expectations and to make sure we were all on the same page regarding feedings, medication, walk schedule and updates (twice a day worked for me). Everything went according to plan with absolutely no hiccups. All that anxiety was completely uneccessary!! Would work with Blake and Rover again in a heartbeat!!

We were in a true bind with a travel emergency and contacted Blake to watch our dog and cat. Blake extremely responsive, helping alleviate our stress as we figured out all the other things. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a more supportive caring pet sitter, especially in a time of need. Thank you Blake!

Safety, trust & environment

After a meet & greet with you and your pet, I make sure that my first time alone with them I am able to stick around long enough to ensure the pet feels comfortable with just me. I'll take time to make sure all their basic needs are met as well as any cuddles or skritches they are willing to receive. Of course, in all of this I would be mindful of caring for your space as well!

Information Blake B. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if the dog has a particular schedule, for medications of course, but also feeding and walking times. When owners are away, the best thing I can do for them is to keep as much of their life consistent as possible, so any information about what they are used to receiving throughout the day is very helpful to me to curate my caregiving experience.

A typical day

I'm happy to take dogs to their favorite park and spend plenty of time playing as well as taking time to wind down and be calm. I know different dogs have different levels of energy, and I'm here for them all from jogging to couch cuddles!

I'm a working musician and teaching artist, so my schedule changes from season to season depending on my gigs. Aside from the one or two days during the week when I teach core music for a local school, my gigs never go for longer than a few hours. This means I have plenty of time to care for pets even on work days.
