Safety, trust & environment

When I watch pets, I make sure to give them as much attention as needed, ensuring they have fun, feel comfortable, and remain relaxed. I am always attentive to behavioral clues that point me towards what the dog needs in that moment. I love to make animals feel loved and cared for as family, even if they arent my own.

Information Esther R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog experiences anxiety around certain situations (loud noises, strangers at the door, other dogs barking) so that I can be aware and best support and ease them if those times were to arise. Also, let me know if they have any specific ways of signalling a need to use the restroom. My dog, for example, has a bell near the door that she rings!

A typical day

Well, it is too hot right now for any W words, but that doesn't stop me from having fun with my fur babies. I love to bring out their favorite toys and play a good game of fetch or tug of war!

Esther was amazing! She communicated often and sent photos and videos as requested. She took great care of our little Marla Pooch and our home. Everything went so well, we would highly recommend Esther to anyone!

Esther was awesome! Booked last minute to come visit, walk, and feed Luna while we were away on a short trip. Super dependable, courteous, and friendly. We had zero worries and complete confidence that Luna was in great hands. We highly recommend her and will definitely rebook!

Esther had been walking my dogs and recently did a 5 day overnight stay while I went out of the country for a vacation I’ve been planning for a year. She took great care of both of them and send me lots of photos and videos of her playing with my sweet babies. This was the longest I have been gone and I wasn’t worried about them, which made my trip so much better. One dog requires daily eye meds and just recovered from surgery. He’s a little older and my younger dog has tons of energy always wanting to play. I could tell they were getting equal attention and would recommend her to others to take good care of your fur - babes.

Esther is so great with Kai! She is always so helpful and great with communication during her visits. I know Kai is in good hands when Esther is over.
