Pet care experience

Pets and care go hand-in-paw!

I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, from cats and dogs to birds, fish, and even a guinea pig! I know what it’s like to miss my fur babies, and how hard it is to feel good about kenneling. My dogs are always happier with a sitter, and I’d love to be that sitter for your fur babies! I have a fully fenced back yard in a safe neighborhood, plus two well socialized dogs of my own who love having friends to play with.

Schedule

Pet sitting is my life, so I can be home most of the time. Everyone gets their meals and treats on schedule. The day is full of playtime, nap time, and cuddle time. My fur babies can climb on all the couches, and they sleep in bed with us. Yours will be be given just as much love.

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t accept dogs who have not been spayed or neutered, so your pet will be safe from those issues. Make sure you have your pet’s shots up to date, so everyone can stay healthy! My back yard is fully fenced with room to run and play in. One of my dogs takes daily pills, and I’m experienced in safely giving oral medications to unwilling dogs and cats. No sharing of “people food,” no matter the puppy dog eyes. I have arthritis, so walking can present difficulties, but playing tug and fetch is great exercise! We keep our dogs up to date on vaccines, heartworm preventative, and check-ups.

Pets

A typical day

Your dogs will have breakfast first thing in the morning, the same time as mine. They can snooze or play with my pups all day, plus they’ll play fetch and tug with us, and get treats and toys to chew on. They can lounge on any of our couches, and they’ll get as much snuggling as they can handle! Dinner is in the early evening, with more snuggling and playtime until everyone is happily tucked in.
