Pet care experience

Reliable and Caring Pet Sitter

I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, and I truly love caring for them all. I currently have two doodles (a Goldendoodle and a Labradoodle) and a brown tabby cat. I’ve also grown up with Chihuahuas, Pugs, Cats, and other Goldendoodles, so I’m familiar with a wide range of sizes, temperaments, and needs. Beyond my own pups, I’ve pet sat for neighbors, including a big, lovable Husky named Snow and several elderly dogs who needed extra patience and care, especially those with mobility issues. I know how important it is to meet each dog where they are, whether that means active playtime or just quiet companionship and gentle support. I treat every dog like part of the family, and I’m always happy to follow specific routines, administer medication, or provide calm, attentive care for senior pups.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can create a calm, familiar environment for them. In my home, pets have a clean, cozy space to relax, with plenty of supervised playtime and attention. I keep all doors secure, avoid unsafe foods or toys, and always monitor interactions with my own friendly doodles. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely—from feeding and medication to walks and bedtime routines. I make sure pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while you're away. Communication is key, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

Hi, I’m Gavin’s mom. He is the BEST. He’s very, very responsible and he loves dogs. He has watched our dogs for us many times and always takes great care of them. Whatever instructions you give Gavin, he will follow them precisely. He has dog and house sat for our neighbors as well and they have all been very happy with him!

Gavin is my son. He is a very responsible person who loves pets, especially dogs and cats! He has been around pets his whole life. He has been a pet sitter for friends and neighbors for years. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good pet sitter!

I’m currently home for the summer from college, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have plenty of time and energy to give. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’m available and committed to making your pet’s care a priority.
