Quiet, Caring, & Kind Pet Caregiver

Hi, We’re Locke & Chris. Your friendly neighborhood pet caregivers! Animals of all types are very special to us. We treat our two dogs as our children and I will do the same for yours. My partner and I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals and I am an expert at making sure your pet knows they are understood, loved, and cared for while also keeping them entertained throughout our visits :) I’m also a professional photographer so you’ll receive some great photos of your pet as well! After our visits, you’ll come home to a happy animal, a clean home, and a small treat for you and your little one!

Safety, trust & environment

We record the activities we do throughout the day and have entertainment, such as toys, ropes, and treats on hand at all times. We tailor each visit to your dog's needs and have experience administering medication if needed. We strive to ensure your dog is feeling happy and loved throughout our time together. We can stay with your pets in the comfort of their own home or take them with us on an adventure! It’ll be our own version of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (more like Furries Bueller’s Day Off… too much?) You’ll receive nice photos and videos through the service and a summary of our escapade at the end of each visit! We ask that each of our clients leave us feedback at the end of our visits to not only help us improve as a business owners, but to also show prospective clients why we’re the highest rated pet sitters in the area! Make sure to check out the reviews section of our profile!

Locke did a great job of looking after our 2 dogs! He came round to meet them before which I really appreciated as I’ve had some prospective sitters not do this. The dogs took a real liking to him. While we were away we got great pictures of our dogs and regular updates. When we returned the house was spotless and we had 2 very happy dogs waiting for us! We will definitely reach out to Locke again next time we need a sitter 😊 Thank you Locke!

Locke was outstanding, our dog Smokey was so happy! Locke stayed at our house for 5 days and sent us updates and pictures on a regular basis. He did an amazing job of cleaning the house, brushed Smokey and the house and Smokey looked better than we left. We are going to put Locke on speed dial for the next time we leave!

Locke was fantastic!! We were gone for two weeks for our wedding/honeymoon and wanted to find a sitter we felt comfortable with. He was thorough on his questions prior to scheduling the sit and answered any questions we had as well. He sent updates almost everyday and sent pictures frequently. The dogs looked like they were in great hands. He took them on walks as well! We would absolutely book him again. Highly recommend!

Let us know how your animal interacts with other animals and if they have any special needs or requirements. We will always do our best to accommodate for any specific requests. On our initial meet & greet, we’ll gather more details of you and your pet to make sure the entire experience goes smoothly! This is not only about caring for your pet but also making sure you the owner don’t have to worry about them while you’re away!
