Your fur friend’s other best friend
Pet care experience
Thank you for letting me take care of your lovely fur friends! I have cared for many animals, dogs and cats to birds and reptiles, including years on a horse ranch. Given this experience, your fur and feathered friends are in great hands and I'll treat them like part of my family - because they are. I offer full time, in home care from Friday evenings to Monday mornings. I'll be with your pets as much as possible, tho I may leave your home for 3-4 hours at a time. During the week, I offer morning, evening and lunchtime care for overnight or drop in clients. I have a full time job from 8-5, with an hour for lunch. Well behaved dogs may be able to come to work with me. To ensure the best possible fit, I do require a meet and greet for new clients. This will give you and your pet a chance to get to know me and an opportunity for me to understand your pets' space and care. Please provide your departure and arrival times for overnight reservation requests. Overnight pricing is applied on a 24 hour basis from check in to check out. Partial day charges may apply. If a puppy has yet to be completely potty trained and consistently needs to be let out during the night, there may be additional charges.
Reviews
Esther is wonderful! Always communicates and sends lots of pictures. She’s very observant and knowledgeable about dogs; always lets us know if something is “off” with our pup. We’ve been using Esther for midday walks and our dog seems much more happy and energetic when we get home. We highly recommend her!
Esther was fantastic with our two pups that both had various medical needs going on while we were gone. She was extremely responsive, and when we had a last minute travel problem, she stepped in and took care of the dogs for longer than expected. Our pups were very happy and we'd use her again anytime!
Esther did everything we asked to ensure Sophie was comfortable and content during our absence. We appreciated the regular photos and updates. Our house was spotless when we returned - another plus!
Esther was wonderful. Jessie loved all the attention she received.

Information Esther W. would like to know about your pet
What are your your pets' routines? A written schedule is very helpful. Is your pet people or other animal aggressive? Under what circumstances? Is your pet on any medication? Is your pet allergic to anything? This includes food (i.e. gluten), bites (i.e. spiders or bees), etc. What, when, and where does your pet eat? Is your pet allowed treats? Does your pet enjoy walks? Does your pet enjoy car rides? What is your pets' favorite toys or games? Where does your dog sleep? In bed with me or in their own works just fine! Are there any other health issues I should know about? If so, what are the symptoms that I should watch out for specifically? What are your emergency phone numbers - Vetrinarian/Family/Friends? Does your dog have any separation anxiety, noise/fireworks/thunder phobias, or other anxieties I should know about? Do they hide or become aggressive? Do you have any additional questions for me?
A typical day
How much time do you spend with my pets? As much as possible! I have a full time job, but well behaved dogs are welcome to join me at work on occasion, and I sometimes work remotely as well. On weekends, I plan on spending the majority of my time with your furry friends! Can you check mail, water plants and put out the garbage? Just let me know what and when these items need to be done, and I'll be happy to oblige.
