It was our first time ever using in house pet sitting, and Chad made the process super easy. Our dog, Kosmo was super happy and we always received pictures while we were gone. Everything was super clean when we returned. We highly recommend, thanks again!

He is consistent and I can’t rave enough about how much my St Bernard loves him which is so rare.

Safety, trust & environment

Ensuring the safety and happiness of pets in my care, whether in your home or out on walks, is my top priority. 🏡🐾 In Your Home: • Routine Maintenance: I strictly adhere to your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication schedules to maintain their comfort and health. • Home Safety: I ensure the home environment is safe and secure for your pet, removing any hazards and keeping them in pet-proofed areas. • Updates for Peace of Mind: Regular photo and message updates keep you informed and reassured about your pet’s well-being. Keeping Dogs Safe on Walks: • Leash Safety: I use secure, appropriate leashes/harnesses to prevent escapes or accidents, always keeping a firm grip. • Awareness: I stay vigilant about our surroundings, avoiding potentially dangerous interactions with other animals and environmental hazards. • Route Planning: I choose safe, well-lit paths and avoid high traffic areas to ensure a peaceful and enjoyable walk experience. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my mission, ensuring they receive the best care in your home and on our walks. 🌟

Information Chad S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any anxieties, issues, or aggressions your pup has, if they should be around other animals or people, or any medical conditions, or dietary restrictions.

A typical day

? Walks are the perfect opportunity for pups to explore, play, and get some exercise. Here’s what we’ll do on our fun walks around the neighborhood: • Sniffari Adventures: We’ll let your pet’s nose lead the way on a ‘sniffari’ where they can explore all the interesting scents our neighborhood has to offer ?. • Socialization: If your pet enjoys company, we’ll take routes where they can safely meet and greet fellow furry friends (with owner permissions, of course) ?‍?. • Photo Ops: I’ll snap cute photos of your pet enjoying their adventure, so you can see the fun they’re having ?. • Customized Routes: I’ll vary our walking routes to keep things interesting, visiting different parks, and exploring new sights and smells ?. Every walk is an adventure, designed to ensure your pet has a blast while staying active and healthy. I only take one pup (or family of pups) at a time, so you know your best friend will be getting the most attention. Ready to give your pet the fun and enriching walks they deserve? Let’s get walking! ?‍♂️?
