Pet care experience

Care for all Animals

Hello! I have had the opportunity to raise and care for a wide variety of pets and have had the wonderful experience of owning a dog all my life. My love of animals started at a young age when we use to board and care for dogs in my family home. I have a wide range of knowledge on dogs and love learning more about best care practices. I currently live with my partner, Brandon (also a huge animal fan), 3 rescue cats, in our cozy duplex. Brandon works from home full time and I am in the office just a few hours each week doing most of my work virtually. We are looking to help out our fellow pet owners and give them peace of mind when away from their fur family! Thanks for taking the time to consider us as your pet sitting and walking needs! Lainie & Brandon

I felt very comfortable with Lainie caring for Trixie while I'm at work from day one. She's so great with her! She sends adorable pictures of Trixie and receiving them are the best part of my work day!

Melainie is great with Trixie! She comes to let her out while I'm at work and I love getting the updates and photos during their visits 🥰 Trixie can be shy with new people and she's taken to Melainie so, so well!

Lainie was great with our puppy Weezy! She sent lots of photos and kept us informed of how everything was going. Weezy seemed to really enjoy her company. We hope to use her again in the future!

Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!

We are flexible with special needs dogs, corks or challenging behaviors but we always need to know ahead of time to keep ourselves, our pets, and your pets, safe. I have administered medications to both dogs and cats and am comfortable giving shots, pills and liquid meds with prior instructions. We need to know how your dog gets along with other animals and cats to ensure that our fur family can be kept apart or integrated with ease. Leash aggression or harness issues can be managed but it is vital that we understand those behaviors before going on our walks.
