Highlights
Pet care experience
From Shih Tzus to SPCA
I have been caring for dogs for over 20 years, with Shih tzus being a special part of my life since I was 20. After recently losing our beloved dog, I wanted to continue sharing my love for animals, which led my son and I to begin volunteering at the SPCA, where we enjoy walking dogs, playing with cats, and helping animals feel loved and cared for. We are an active, organized, and reliable family who believes pets are part of the family. We love providing lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, and individualized care based on each pet’s personality and needs. My son has a natural love for animals and wanted to take on this challenge as a way to learn responsibility while doing something he truly enjoys. All care is parent-supervised, and I will always ensure your pet is treated with patience, kindness, and respect. We especially enjoy caring for small dogs but are also comfortable with calm, well-mannered larger dogs. We offer drop-in visits, walks, overnight boarding and daycare services, and we look forward to making your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your fur babies, look no further! I highly recommend my daughter to care for your fur babies. She has had a genuine love for animals since she was a little girl, and that love has only grown over the years. ❤️🐾 She has knowledge of many different breeds and personalities and has always had a natural way of making animals feel comfortable, safe, and loved. She is patient, responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals — it’s something she truly loves. She and my grandson are also volunteering at the SPCA, where they spend time walking dogs and caring for animals. Seeing the two of them give their time and affection to animals who need it most makes me so proud. If I had a pet, she would be the person I would trust completely to care for them. I know she would treat every dog or cat as if they were her own. 🐶🐱❤️ If you’re looking for someone caring, dependable, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, I highly recommend giving her the opportunity to care for your pets. Your furry family members couldn’t be in better hands! 🐾
Louise is a exceptional pet owner, she has had many dogs and loves them so much. She has taken care of my dog and I truly trust her with him.

Schedule
I work a regular daytime schedule Monday to Friday, but I am available for pet care on evenings, and most weekends. I plan my schedule carefully so that any pets in my care receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve. My son and I enjoy spending our free time outdoors, walking, and spending time with animals, making pet care a fun and meaningful part of our week. We are reliable, organized, and committed to providing a safe, loving experience for every pet we care for.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide calm, caring, and reliable pet care while respecting each animal’s unique personality and routine. With over 20 years of dog care experience and ongoing SPCA volunteer work, I understand the importance of patience, trust, and gentle handling. I follow owner instructions carefully and treat every pet as if they were my own. My son is involved as a supervised helper and shares my love for animals. We are a family who values kindness, responsibility, and creating a safe, positive experience for every pet in our care.
A typical day
A typical day will be focused on making your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. We enjoy going for walks, playing, offering lots of attention and cuddles, and taking time to let each pet enjoy activities that match their personality and energy level. For dogs, this may include outdoor walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. For cats, we enjoy calm visits with play, attention, and companionship in their own familiar environment. Every pet has their own routine and preferences, so I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible to help them feel safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away.
