Fear Free® One Household at a Time!
⭐ 47+ 5-Star Reviews 🐾 Exclusive | One Household at a Time ⛑ Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR Certified 🐶 Fear Free® Certified Pro Pet Sitter -Clinical-Grade Expertise: I am a current college Vet Tech honors student, a Fear Free® Certified Professional, Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and am actively working as a Veterinary Assistant. -High-Attention, Low-Volume Model: My schedule is intentionally structured around my college studies, clinic shifts, and volunteer work. I prioritize quality over quantity, offering a calm, clinical-grade sanctuary with undivided attention. -Special Needs Specialist: I specialize in high-needs pets that standard sitters cannot accommodate, including senior animals, complex medical conditions, rehabilitation care, behavioral challenges, and precise medication schedules. -Multi-Species Fluency: Beyond dogs and puppies, I have extensive professional experience caring for small mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. -The Constant Care Premium: Why It's Worth It: Standard pet sitters often leave animals alone for 4–6 hours at a time or mix multiple strange dogs together in a pack. We do not. -Our rates reflect an elite, clinical-grade service standard: True 1-Household-At-A-Time Exclusivity: Zero interaction with stranger animals and zero cross-contamination risks. -100% Constant Care/Supervision: My partner and I tag-team our schedule so a fully vetted, thoroughly verified, and extensively background-checked caregiver is physically present every second of every single minute of the entire booking. Advanced Insight: You are paying for a vet assistant capable of managing complex bookings, caring for special needs pets, administering medication, and providing low-stress, Fear Free® handling.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Emily and Kenneth are very caring with our dog. Highly recommend them.
Emily and Ken are great! This is our second boarding with them. We received daily updates of Barley either playing with Olive or sleeping Onion, their two dogs. We’ll continue to board Barley with Emily and Ken, whenever they are available.
Emily responded to our last minute request for Frito which was super great! Frito is always happy to see Emily!
Emily and Ken were so attentive and caring for Barley during his boarding. They sent frequent updates which helped us enjoy our vacation without worrying about Barley’s well-being. Their dogs Olive and Onion got along so well with Barley!
Bruno is taken care of so well when he is with Emily and Kenneth. He plays hard and is loved so well.
Emily and Ken are great! They made sure to send lots of pictures of Barley playing with their two dogs, Olive and Onion. Their communication is thoughtful and consistent. My dog came home tired and happy.

Schedule
-100% Constant Supervision: Because my background-checked partner and I tag-team our availability, a member of our care team is physically present every single second of your pet's stay. Your pet is never left alone or unattended. -Boarding & Daycare: Available full-time Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Available on alternating weeks on Wednesdays. -Walks & Drop-Ins: Available full-time Thursday through Sunday. Available Mondays and Tuesdays after 2:00 PM (Unavailable Wednesdays). Drop-ins are fully flexible and can turn into active neighborhood walks. -Premium Weekend House Sitting: Compact window from Saturday 8:00 PM to Sunday 8:00 PM. Once I arrive at your home, I do not leave the premises for any reason during those 24 hours, bringing my own food and supplies.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
-In Our Home (Boarding & Daycare): We offer a true cage-free, stress-free environment. Our layout is split into 3 baby-gated safety zones to separate pets during meals to prevent food anxiety and resource guarding. Pets enjoy open access to our home and two fully-fenced yards. We never use a "crate and rotate" system; crates are only used upon explicit owner request. -In Your Home (House Sitting): I provide total routine replication, maintaining exact feeding schedules, walk routes, and sleep setups. I remain strictly on-site for the entire 24-hour booking. -Zero Interruptions: By hosting only one household at a time, your pets face zero stranger dogs, zero chaotic environments, and zero outside risks. You will receive regular photo and video updates throughout their stay.
Pets
A typical day
-A typical day centers entirely around your pet’s existing routine, personality, and energy level rather than a forced, rigid schedule. We perfectly balance physical exercise, mental enrichment, and deep relaxation. -Depending on your pet's needs, activities include: --Tailored Exercise: Personalized neighborhood walks and supervised yard playtime. --Brain Work: Enrichment games, puzzle toys, and interactive mental stimulation. --Clinical Care: Strict adherence to complex feeding and medication schedules. --Decompression: Dedicated quiet rest periods in a low-stress environment designed to help anxious or senior pets completely relax.
