Safety, trust & environment

Leash walking and fenced yard (always monitoring). Consistent and loving care for all breeds for standard and special needs. Meds, special diets, bathing, newborn to seniors. For overnight booking clients, please note that your house is my home base with your pets as the priority. I keep my radius for bookings close to my home and workplace. Like any normal pet parent, I do work a few days a week, run errands, pop home to shower and I may go out to eat or have an appointment otherwise my time is spent feeding, snuggling, playing, pottying, interacting and caring for your pets.🐕❤️ If you are interested in round the clock care, I recommend searching for sitters at triple+ my price point.
