Since I work part-time remotely, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of quality time giving your pet the attention, exercise, play, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for boarding during both weekdays and weekends, and because I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. Whether your pet enjoys frequent walks, play sessions, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to adjust my routine to their needs and make them feel comfortable and cared for.

My priority is always making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they are in my care. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming home environment where pets can relax, play, and maintain their normal routines as much as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I’m very patient and attentive, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment throughout the day. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I treat every animal with the same care, respect, and attention I would give my own.

Information Caleb T. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their unique personality, routine, and needs so I can provide the best experience for them. It’s helpful for me to know their daily schedule, feeding instructions, favorite activities, energy level, comfort around other animals and people, and any special care requirements. I also appreciate knowing about any allergies, medications, health concerns, fears, triggers, or behaviors I should be aware of. Every pet is different, and I believe great care starts with understanding what makes them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can make their time with me feel like a home away from home.

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of exercise, attention, and plenty of fun! As an avid runner who jogs daily, I love including pets in my active lifestyle whenever it matches their energy level and comfort. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, a light jog, exploring outside, or simply taking their time to sniff around, I adjust every activity to their personality and needs. I enjoy visiting local dog parks, playing games like fetch, and providing lots of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and play. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy spending time relaxing, giving them affection, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, your pet will get plenty of companionship, attention, and interaction throughout the day. My goal is to make their time away from you feel like a fun, safe, and stress-free vacation of their own.

Pet care experience

I bring over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience and a genuine love for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and commitment to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I understand that every animal has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet happiest - whether that means extra playtime, a slower walk, special feeding instructions, medication schedules, or simply providing companionship and affection. I have experience caring for puppies with lots of energy, senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care, and animals who may be shy, nervous, or need time to build trust. I’m very observant and dependable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is not just to “watch” your pet, but to provide a caring, stress-free experience where both you and your pet feel completely comfortable.

Caleb was great- friendly and competent. There was another car staying st Caleb's, which I was happy about because it gave my cat a companion to play with! I will definitely use Caleb again!

Caleb was great with my cat! He was very flexible with pickup and drop off (which was extra helpful for tricky travel days) and was super nice. Would definitely recommend him to anyone to watch their pet!

Was very kind, flexible and communicative. My dog seemed genuinely bummed to leave!

I can't recommend Caleb highly enough! He watched my dog, Koda, while I was out of the country for two weeks, and I had complete peace of mind the entire time knowing Koda was in such great hands. Koda can be a very particular dog. He's sweet and loving, but he also has his own quirks, routines, and preferences, so caring for him isn't always as simple as following a list of instructions. It takes someone who is patient, observant, and able to read his behavior and respond appropriately. Caleb did exactly that. He treated Koda like family, kept up with his routine, gave him plenty of attention and affection, and made sure he got all the exercise and care he needed. It was obvious that he genuinely cared about Koda's well-being rather than simply checking off basic responsibilities. One of the things I appreciated most was Caleb's judgment and intuition. Because Koda can be particular, there were moments that required someone who could think on their feet and make the right decision without needing me there. Caleb has a natural instinct for understanding animals and knowing how to handle unexpected situations calmly and appropriately. He never overreacted or underreacted. He simply assessed what Koda needed and handled everything with confidence and care. Knowing Koda was with someone I trusted to make good decisions gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was thousands of miles away. Throughout my trip, Caleb kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which meant so much while I was out of the country. Every update reassured me that Koda was relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying himself. When I came home, Koda seemed happy, healthy, and completely himself: a true testament to the exceptional care he received. Leaving your pet for an extended trip can be stressful, but Caleb made the entire experience effortless. He is responsible, trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely loves animals, and it shows in every interaction. I would trust him with Koda again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who wants more than just a pet sitter. They want someone who will care for their pet as if they were their own.
