Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, as I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care for pets while their owners are away. My special focus is on supporting deployed military members by offering long-term pet care services during deployments or extended underways, ensuring their furry companions receive consistent, high-quality care in their absence. During the weekends, I’m available from 8 AM – 8 PM for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Overnight stays and services outside these hours can be arranged with advance notice to accommodate your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s daily check-ins, playtime, or extended care, I strive to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide personalized pet care in my clients’ homes, ensuring that their furry friends stay comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment while their owners are away. My services include: - Dog Walking (Weekdays & Weekends): Whether it’s a midday walk while you're at work or an early morning weekend stroll, I make sure dogs get the exercise, enrichment, and potty breaks they need. - Drop-In Visits: Perfect for feeding, fresh water refills, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I tailor each visit to meet the specific needs of dogs and cats, ensuring they feel safe and cared for. - Overnight Pet Sitting: For pets that need extra care and comfort while their owners are away, I provide in-home overnight stays, keeping up with their regular routines, feeding schedules, and offering plenty of love and attention. - Veterinary & Grooming Appointments: If your pet has a scheduled vet visit or grooming appointment, I offer safe and reliable pet transport to ensure they receive the care they need. Throughout each service, I prioritize routine, comfort, and safety, keeping pet owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind while away.

Information Ciara R. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know their routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. Key details like dietary restrictions, medication schedules, favorite activities, and any behavioral quirks (e.g., anxiety triggers, leash reactivity, or social preferences) help me provide the best care possible. Knowing their energy level, training cues, and how they interact with other pets and people ensures a safe and happy experience. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.

A typical day

I love making sure pets feel happy, safe, and engaged while their owners are away. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a fun walk around the neighborhood , or some relaxing cuddle time, I tailor activities to fit each pet’s personality and energy level. For high-energy pups, we’ll enjoy long walks, play tug-of-war, or have an exciting game of chase. If your pet prefer a calmer approach, we can enjoy gentle strolls or cozy lap times. No matter their style, I ensure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care!
