Highlights
Pet care experience
Grounded, Caring Dog Guardian
I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, always with a present and intentional approach. I’m calm, patient, and very aware of each dog’s energy. Whether they’re seniors, playful pups, or have any special needs. Experienced with oral medications. My own dog, Kobe, taught me what real companionship and attentive care look like, and I bring that same level of presence and purpose to every dog I host.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
It was just great working with Norman! I have an 11 yo dachshund (Moko) who loves his time with him. He was kind enough to accept him super last-minute, he asked great questions when I dropped Moko off (stuff I honestly would have completely forgotten to tell him), so I already knew Moko was in great hands! I got pictures every day, and messages every day with updates on how everything was going. Very grateful we found him!
Karma absolutely loves Norm. He is attentive, kind, and an amazing communicator. Karma had such a good time with him. This is the happiest and most well-adjusted I’ve ever seen her after being with a sitter, and she was still happy and relaxed when I picked her up.
I would absolutely recommend Norman for sitting services. Norman is someone who is very active and responsive and does his utmost to care for any fur baby. A day in and I could tell he has a wealth of experience looking after pups. He updated me every single day with videos and pictures and even helped me take my pup to the vet when she was not feeling good. He goes above and beyond. This is someone who provided the feeling of knowing that he is very well competent to take care of pups while owners are away. Very pleasant in person and with my pup who had a blast . Thank you again Norman!
Norman is an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! He truly goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for dogs. It’s clear that he’s not only experienced but also very knowledgeable about dog behavior, training, and health. Norman’s communication is great, and he always keeps me updated with photos and notes about how things are going. It’s such a relief to know that my dogs are in caring, capable hands while I’m away. If you’re looking for someone reliable, professional, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I can’t recommend Norman enough. He’s the best! 🐾

Schedule
I’m home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I take dogs out for regular walks, spend a lot of time with them, and keep the environment calm and supervised at all times. I follow their routine closely so they feel safe and at home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will always be in a steady, warm environment. I don’t crate unless you request it. They’re free to settle wherever they feel most comfortable.
A typical day
Our day flows naturally. Morning/Afternoon/Evening walks, as well as constant mental stimulation, play, & rest. Always at their pace. I adjust to each dog so they feel understood, not overstimulated.
