Pet care experience

Small guys only!!

Hi! I’m Jo, and I specialize in caring for small dogs who are used to being someone’s whole world. After struggling to find a sitter who truly only takes one dog at a time, I decided to become the kind of sitter I was searching for. I know how hard it is to leave your little one with someone else. Small dogs aren’t just pets — they’re shadows, cuddle buddies, emotional support systems, and family. They thrive on attention, routine, and feeling safe. That’s exactly what I provide. If the thought of your small dog feeling scared or lost among a pack worries you, you’ve found the safe place you’ve been looking for

Schedule

I work from home so will be able to give full attention. I understand small dog energy — from clingy Velcro pups to sassy little bosses. I’m patient, attentive, and very tuned in to their comfort and routines.

Safety, trust & environment

Right now, caring for my own small dog is part of my everyday life. I follow a consistent routine with regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and lots of affection throughout the day. I make sure my dog gets enough exercise but also has quiet time to rest, especially after walks or play. I’m very attentive to their behavior and mood, so I can quickly notice if something seems off.

Pets

A typical day

I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. That can include relaxed walks, playtime with their favorite toys, gentle games, and lots of cuddles and affection. I also enjoy spending quiet time with pets, whether that’s sitting together, brushing, or just keeping them company so they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is always to make their time with me feel fun, calm, and as close to their normal routine as possible

It’s important for me to know about your pet’s routine, personality, and preferences ahead of time. I like to learn about their feeding schedule, walking needs, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and safe. It’s also helpful to know about any medical needs, medications, or behaviors to watch for.
