So glad to have found Katie and Dave! They will definitely be our go-to sitters going forward. Katie asked all the right questions - it is evident that she wants to get to know the pups to be able to give them the best care possible. I appreciated the daily updates/pictures and could tell the dogs were comfortable and happy during their stay. I also appreciated that the home/property was very clean and in a good area for walks! Highly recommend.

Katie and Dave took really great care of our two pups! We appreciated the daily updates; the pups looked so happy and got a lot of snuggles and playtime with them! I've already asked when they can look after them again. :)

Katie and Dave did a fantastic job with Sully! Communication was through and I received lots of photos of him on his adventures. I would recommend and trust them, and I’ll certainly be in touch again when out of town. 😊

Safety, trust & environment

In our home, we provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets entrusted to my care. This includes a designated space for them to rest, play, and enjoy their time. We maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on their dietary needs and preferences. Regular walks and playtime are incorporated into their daily routine to ensure they stay active and happy. For clients who prefer pet care in their own homes, we adapt my services to the familiar surroundings of the pet. This includes replicating their daily routines, feeding schedules, and exercise routines as closely as possible. We prioritize creating a stress-free environment, offering companionship and attention to alleviate any anxiety they may experience in the absence of their owners. Additionally, we adhere to any specific care instructions provided by the client, such as administering medications, adhering to dietary restrictions, or implementing training practices. Overall, my goal is to provide a seamless and loving experience for pets, whether they are in my home or their own, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual pet and the preferences of their owners.

A typical day

If your dog is staying with us, we will take it on long walks at the park near our place. We can also visit the dog park if your pup is comfortable with that. If you like, we will send you daily updates about your pup!
