Treating Your Pets Like Family

My love for pet care started about 8 years ago when I began raising and training future guide dogs. Since then, I’ve raised two dogs from puppyhood, giving me lots of hands on experience with puppy training, socialization, routines, basic commands, and caring for dogs through different stages of life. Over the years, I’ve also dog sat and house sat countless times for friends, family, and others. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers relaxing and getting lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. Most importantly, I know how much trust goes into leaving your dog and home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide all pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course plenty of attention and love! I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to adjust my care accordingly, whether that means lots of walks and playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply giving a more independent pet their space. I also take great care to respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure both your pets and your home are well cared for while you’re away.

Schedule

I work Monday–Tuesday and Thursday–Friday from 7:30 AM–5 PM, but I’m available for lunch hour check ins and walks for pets located in the Webster area. I’m also available before and after work on those days. Wednesdays and weekends offer me more flexibility for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and spending extra time with your pets. I’m always happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine and keeps them comfortable while you’re away!

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know a little about their normal routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. Please let me know about feeding schedules, medications, allergies, favorite activities, and any behaviors or quirks I should be aware of. For dogs, it’s also helpful to know how they do on walks and around other dogs, people, or animals. I’d also love to hear about their favorite toys, treats, commands, and anything that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. The more I know about your pet ahead of time, the better I can keep their routine consistent and make our time together safe, fun, and stress free!
