Availability
I provide low-stress, professional visits for cats and small dogs under 40 lbs. Each drop-in visit includes feeding, water, litter/potty breaks, and calm companionship within a 30-minute window. I only take on one household at a time to ensure safety and provide my full attention. Because I focus on calm care, I’m not accepting high-energy, reactive, or large dogs at this time. To ensure the best care, I only accept clients within a 15-mile radius. I truly appreciate your understanding. I love keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind 💗 ** Meet-and-greets are preferred for first-time clients to allow the pet(s) to meet and smell me, review any specifics of the house and pet care, and confirm contact information. ***

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment in my home, and I follow your instructions carefully when caring for pets in your home to keep them safe and comfortable. I supervise all activities, ensure pets have access to water, potty breaks, and receive any medications they need. I monitor the weather and temperature to ensure all outdoor time is safe and enjoyable for your pet. This is especially important for older pets or dogs with shorter noses (brachycephalic breeds), who may be more sensitive to heat or cold.

Information Connally B. would like to know about your pet
To ensure a safe and calm experience, I ask that clients share important details about their pets ahead of time, including: - Personality and energy level - Any behavioral issues (reactivity, resource guarding, separation anxiety) -Medical conditions or medications -Feeding routine and potty/litter habits -Any special instructions or preferences I only accept cats & small dogs under 40 lbs. Pets should be comfortable with one-on-one care. This helps me provide the best, low-stress care while keeping everyone safe and happy!
A typical day
A typical visit is calm and predictable, designed to keep pets comfortable and happy. For dogs, I provide potty breaks. Then I provide fresh water/food, gentle play, and attention. For cats, I make sure food, water, and litter are fresh, and offer quiet time and gentle interaction. Every visit includes photos & check-ins with you to let you know how your pet is doing. I focus on low-stress enrichment that pets enjoy: - Sniff time & short walks for dogs - Cuddle & gentle play sessions - Exploring safe spaces, boxes, or treat puzzles for cats - Interactive feeding or scatter feeding to stimulate curiosity - Lots of calm attention and petting — pets get love and reassurance while you’re gone All activities are tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level, so every visit is safe, enjoyable, and stress-free.

Experienced Pet Care
Pet care experience
I've worked at a combination of vet clinics and doggy daycares for the last 5 years (& counting), and have lived with and cared for dogs and cats (and other farm critters) my whole life. I routinely care for family member's and friend's pets as well. I have the most experience with senior and special needs dogs, so I'm familiar with and comfortable administering various oral and injectable medications, such as heart medication, eye drops, and insulin. My goal is to make sure each pet enjoys as much of their stay as possible, until their favorite person comes home again. 💖

Jazzy and Kona love their play time with you, Connally and your puppy pack. Thanks again for taking care of the pups!
Connally, thank you so much for your care and puppy play date coordination! Their happy faces and deep sleep photos are proof perfect that they are in excellent hands whilst I travel.
Connally takes such good care of my pups, Kona & Jazzy, incorporating them into the pack for playtime and naps. 🥰
Connally always takes great care of our cats and chickens!
