Joy was so sweet and a great sitter! My shy dog instantly warmed up to her and made herself at home. Joy was a good communicator and sent me lots of pictures of my dog relaxing at her house. Definitely recommend!

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine alongside my office schedule. I thoughtfully plan care around my workday to ensure pets receive consistent attention, including morning and evening care, regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of affection. In the mornings, I start by making sure pets are fed and have access to fresh water. Throughout the day, I schedule backyard play sessions to keep them active, engaged, and happy. I maintain a structured routine so pets feel comfortable, cared for, and secure at all times.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and overall well-being. I have a big fenced backyard available for your pet to explore and play under my supervision. Regular outdoor time ensures they can stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh air. I also allow them to snuggle up on the furniture if allowed by the owner.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch is focused on fun, comfort, and individualized care. We start with potty breaks, followed by backyard activities like fetch and play with their favorite toys. Pets also enjoy plenty of downtime, affection, and a calm environment. Since every pet has different needs, I tailor activities to match their personality and energy level—whether they prefer active play or a more relaxed day.
