My partner and I both work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. Since at least one of us is usually home throughout the day, we’re able to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. We also keep our bookings limited so each pet receives calm, personalized care instead of feeling like part of a rushed, high-volume service. This setup is especially helpful for pets who thrive with routine, supervision, and a low-stress home environment.

Information Michael L. would like to know about your pet

let us know if your pet has any special needs or history of behavior issues. Most importantly, let us know what they like and what they respond to. We want the pet to be happy and have a good time while he is here.

A typical day

Wr keep activities fun, safe, and tailored to each pet’s age, energy level, and personality. For dogs, that usually includes walks, play sessions (fetch/tug), sniff breaks, basic cue practice, and plenty of affection. For cats, we enjoy interactive play, especially using a red laser dot so they can chase and stay active, plus treat games and calm bonding time. We also mix in enrichment like puzzle toys, hide-and-seek treats, and short training-style sessions to keep pets mentally engaged. For seniors or shy pets, we focus on gentle movement, comfort, and low-stress companionship so they can enjoy themselves at their own pace.

Happy Pets, Peace of Mind

Pet care experience

What sets me and my family apart is that I do this for the love of animals—not as a high-volume business. We have cared for dogs and cats my whole life (over 10 dogs and 6 cats), so we understand how different every pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs can be. We intentionally take only a small number of pets at a time so each one gets real attention, patience, and consistent care. Your pet won’t be “one of many”—they’ll be treated like an individual with their own habits and preferences. We are especially good at: *Reading behavior and stress signals so pets feel safe and settled *Keeping routines consistent (feeding, walks, meds, quiet time) *Gentle, patient care for shy, sensitive, or older pets *Basic reinforcement of good habits (house rules, calm leash manners, simple cues) We don’t keep pets of my own right now, which means we can focus fully on the pets in my care and genuinely enjoy giving them my attention and companionship. We have a large backyard that they can play in and each pet get their own space in the house (4600 Sq Ft). We will take good care of them.

Many many thanks Harley/ Mike for taking care Simba so well. He definitely was very comfortable with you. Simba now has a second home while we are away. Regards, Roshni & Deep

Highly recommend! They took amazing care of my dog for 5 days and kept me updated regularly with messages, photos, and videos which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Very reliable, kind, and attentive — I would definitely book again!

"I can’t recommend them enough! They were so kind to squeeze me in last minute and were incredibly flexible with my return time when things shifted. Most importantly, they took wonderful care of my dog—I loved getting the photo updates and could tell he was having a great time. He came home happy and settled. Truly a lifesaver!"
