Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention they need throughout the day. I can provide frequent walks, playtime, and cuddles while staying on top of my work. This setup lets me offer consistent care and ensure your dog feels loved and well-cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, or just being there for companionship, I can easily integrate pet care into my daily routine.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable and loved. At my home, I have a fenced yard where pets can safely play and explore. I also love taking lots of walks, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. I follow a consistent routine that includes regular meals, walks, and playtime, ensuring each pet receives individual attention based on their needs. In a client’s home, I stick to any specific instructions regarding feeding, routines, and preferences, keeping their environment familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s a visit for playtime or overnight stays, I always treat your pet with the same care and love I would give my own.

Information Cross M. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, it’s important for me to know their routine, preferences, and any special needs they may have. This includes their feeding schedule, any medical requirements, favorite activities, and how they typically behave around other pets or people. I’d also like to know if they have any fears or anxieties, so I can provide a comfortable and stress-free experience. Understanding your pet’s personality and preferences helps me create a safe, enjoyable environment tailored to their needs.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and entertained! I enjoy taking them on walks, exploring new routes, and letting them sniff around to their heart’s content. If they’re up for it, we can play fetch, tug-of-war, or even teach them some new tricks. For dogs who enjoy it, I’ll also spend time in the yard playing or running around. I make sure every pet has a fun, engaging experience while staying safe and comfortable. Whether it’s bonding over belly rubs or getting their energy out through play, I’ll ensure they have a great time!

Loving Your Dog Like My Own!

Pet care experience

I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience. I’ve cared for my own dog since I was 13, and when she had a litter of 13 puppies, I took on the responsibility of nurturing them from birth—ensuring they were healthy, happy, and well-socialized. This experience taught me how to care for dogs at all stages of life, from playful pups to senior dogs who need extra attention. After recently losing my dog, I’m eager to put the love and care I have for dogs into helping others. Whether it’s providing puppy care or giving gentle attention to senior dogs, I treat every pet like my own, with patience, love, and dedication.

Cross was a great host. He and his wife made my Teddy feel right at home. They communicated with me every step of the way and shared photos to reassure me everything was okay. I will definitely book with them again in the future.

Cross and his wife Carin were AMAZING with our dog Bella!!! They constantly sent pictures and communicated with me for the two weeks I was away. I would highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, caring place for their pup to stay!!!

Cross took care of my two dogs, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience! He is attentive, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals. My dogs warmed up to him right away, and I could tell they felt safe and loved in his care. Cross consistently goes the extra mile to ensure pets are happy and comfortable, and his reliability and dedication give me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Cross to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver!
