Your pet’s extended WFH family.

Pet care experience

Growing up on a small farm, I cared for livestock and pets for families nearby. I’ve loved and cared for cats and dogs all my life. Now I’m a professional working from home and I’d love to welcome one or two of your four-legged family members to our home. We’re compassionate, clean, and available to provide attention and companionship. We want to provide boarding more to meet your friends and love them…this isn’t a business we’re trying to live off of. We’ve had a number of pets with medical and special needs including subcutaneous injections, pills, topical meds, and loads of other accommodations.

Graig and his family were wonderful with our dog. I appreciated their last minute accommodations for our pup and the excellent communication. Thank you very much!

Craig and his family were wonderful hosts to our beloved Theo; they welcomed him as part of their family and are very grateful for taking great care of him!

Craig is fantastic with animals. He grew up on a farm and was involved in the care and feeding of a variety of animals. His family also had dogs and cats as pets, and he enjoys having animals always around. He not only takes care of their basic needs, he also loves them. He recognizes that animals are their own beings and deserve respect. He is unfazed by animals needing care above and beyond feeding and hygiene, he has cared for animals needing subcutaneous fluid injections, tube feedings, and oral meds. He has good communication skills and would be able to collaborate with owners on the care of their loved ones. He works from home and as such would be on site much of the time. If I had to find a pet sitter/boarder for, well, ANY animal, I’d choose Craig!

Information Craig R. would like to know about your pet

I’m happy to provide special care for your loved one! I’ve had some pets that needed regular medication and other accommodations. I’m a cat pilling specialist, thanks to regular dosing of one very spicy void that made it especially difficult.

A typical day

Daily walks, fetch in the yard, cuddles, and lots of outdoor time. I do lots of cycling and would love to take your pup along. If they’re not accustomed to running with a bike, I have a cargo bike with a big box they can ride in!

I’m in and out of meetings all day but welcome keeping your pets close to me as I work and take frequent breaks. On nice days I’ll work from the back deck in our fenced backyard. My office is out in my workshop, so your pet can hang with me in the warm office or cool off in my shop if they’d prefer.
