Pet care experience

Calm, Caring Sitter for Dogs & Cats

My wife and I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, from tiny seniors who need a gentle touch to energetic pets who love playtime and long walks. Friends and neighbors have trusted us for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care for many years, and we treat every pet as if they were part of our own family. We’re patient, calm, and very attentive to routines: feeding, medication, comfort needs, and all the little details that help pets feel safe in new situations. What sets us apart is our dependability and communication. We send clear updates, photos, and quick check-ins so you always feel at ease while you’re away. We’re detail-focused, great with schedules, and follow your instructions exactly. Whether your pet prefers slow senior strolls, high-energy exercise, cozy cuddle time, or quiet company, we adjust our pace and care to whatever makes them happiest.

I can’t recommend this sitter enough. They were incredibly accommodating — accepting my booking on very short notice without any hesitation, which really saved the day. Throughout the entire stay, they kept me updated regularly, so I always knew Chewy was happy and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was with someone so attentive and communicative. I’ll absolutely be booking again!

Michael and Juliana watched our dog Rhea for us, at our home, while we were on our honeymoon. They were great sitters! They took a lot of care to make sure that Rhea was comfortable and was following her routine. They also helped make sure that our home was taken care of while we were away. We would 100% recommend leaving your pet in their care!

Michael and his wife are the loveliest cat sitters! We have a 6 year old tuxedo cat who loves affection and often demands wet food at the crack of dawn. Michael takes care of her so well that whenever we drop her off at their home she gets comfortable right away and doesn’t want to leave. Michael always send us updates including several photos. We have full trust in him and his partner!

Safety, trust & environment

We take safety seriously and always begin by learning your pet’s routine, triggers, and comfort needs. Whether your pet is in your home or ours, we follow your rules exactly: feeding schedules, crate routines, walks, enrichment, and any special instructions. We keep doors locked, double-check gates, and make sure your pet stays secure and calm at all times. We treat your home with the same care and respect we give to your pet, and you’ll always receive clear updates and photos so you know how things are going throughout each visit.

A typical day

A day with your dog includes a happy neighborhood stroll, plenty of sniff time, and some fun play or enrichment back at home. I keep things relaxed, follow their routine, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained from start to finish. With cats, the day is all about gentle company, a clean space, and playtime if they’re in the mood. Whether we’re batting toys, sharing quiet cuddles, or just hanging out nearby, I keep their visit calm, cozy, and a little bit fun.
