Katie and Dave were wonderful to work with! They kept me well-informed with daily updates and photos, showing just how much fun my dog was having under their care. They created a loving and attentive environment, treating my dog as if she were part of their family. I highly recommend Katie and Dave to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet sitters.

Once again super impressed with Dave’s communication and I’m so thankful how flexible he is on last minute assistance so that I know Winston will be in great hands!

Dave and Katie were fantastic! They were able to help me out on such short notice. Not only were they extremely communicative during their in-home stay, but they were also very accommodating when there were some last minute changes that had popped up on my end. They took care of my 16-week old puppy amazingly and I wouldn’t hesitate to have them do it again!

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.
