Just the type of sitter you need when you're out of the country! Perfect in a word. They took our dog with their own for great doggy outings, good home with nice people and pictures with updates. Highly recommend!!!

Pets

A typical day

A Fun-Filled Day in the Life of Your Pet’s Favorite Sitter! Every pet deserves a day full of love, fun, and care! Here’s what a typical day with me looks like: ☀️ Morning Adventures – We start the day with a refreshing morning walk, letting your pup stretch their legs, sniff around, and enjoy the fresh air. Breakfast Time – After our outing, it’s time for a delicious and nutritious meal, served exactly how your pet likes it! I make sure they have fresh water and any necessary supplements or medications. Midday Fun & Exercise – Whether it’s an energetic game of fetch, an engaging puzzle toy, or a relaxing belly rub session, I tailor the day’s activities to your pet’s personality. Need an afternoon potty break? I’ve got it covered! Afternoon Relaxation – After all the excitement, it’s time for some well-earned rest. I’ll ensure your pet has a comfy, quiet space to recharge, whether that’s a nap in their favorite spot or some light snuggles. Evening Walk & Wind Down – As the day wraps up, we take one last stroll to keep your pup happy and relaxed before settling in for the night. I make sure they’re comfy, fed, and feeling loved before I go. Daily Updates for You! – I know how much you miss your pet while you’re away, so I send photos, fun updates, and even a little “pup report” so you always know they’re in good hands! I treat every pet like they’re my own, ensuring a safe, loving, and engaging environment. Can’t wait to meet your furry family member!
