🥰 A DEDICATED CARETAKER I don't go away to an office job, so I'm almost always home and free to build my schedule around serving my pet-guests, who are treated as if they were my own. 💬 GREAT COMMUNICATION You'll get photos, videos, and updates! (Unless you prefer not to.) And you can always feel welcome to check in. I want you to have peace of mind while you're away from your critters.

Safety, trust & environment

🏡🌳 A PARK-LIKE PROPERTY (see photos 🌺) We have a massive yard, with a large pond, a sidewalk all around it, and even an island accessed by a bridge. All of this is inside our fence, and this is where I'll be walking your dog(s), which, of course, is safer and more secure than walking them out on the streets. I also built a secure 100ft cable run with locking carabiners, which is available to dogs for extended (supervised) outside time, upon request. 🐶🐱 A PRIVATE SPACE JUST FOR YOUR PETS Your pets will never have to mix with unknown and unfamiliar animals, so you'll never have to worry over a risk of stressful interactions or dangerous altercations with strange dogs or cats. I carefully maintain several entirely separate zones... • Critter Den 1 — A single family of dogs gets this big, fun room to themselves. It's the biggest section of our basement, which I've converted into a pet haven. There's a comfy loveseat, a beanbag chair, dog beds, a dog house, rugs, blankets, and toys. • Critter Den 2 — Another large, private room in our converted basement. It's got a comfy chair, a small couch, dog beds, rugs, blankets, and toys. • Critter Den 3 — A cozy, private room with a beanbag chair, doggy beds, blankets, rugs, and toys. My quietest space, it's perfect for seniors, puppies, or generally laid-back dogs. • The Littles Lounge — One family of cats and/or smaller dogs (or a big dog of a certain disposition) can have our guest room, which I've turned into a fun retreat. Pets will enjoy a floor-to-ceiling custom cat tree, watching windows, a couch, pet beds, cat houses, toys, rugs, scratchers, and a litter box. • Main House — Our own pets live in a different section of the house and will always be kept completely separate from yours. So, from your pets' perspective, it'll be as if they're the only animals here! 🔐 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Each guest is equipped with a special QR Code tag, just in case. If scanned on any smart phone, your pet's details and my contact info will be displayed, and I'll get an alert with their GPS location. 🐰🐷🐭🦊 A HARDCORE ANIMAL LOVER 🐴🐮🐥🐟 I'm vegan, which I mention only because it's an indication that my life is largely focused on keeping all animals safe and happy, and this same philosophy will drive the way I treat yours. ❗️ EMERGENCY PLAN If a medical emergency arises, I'll take your pet(s) to The Village Vets 24-Hour Emergency, which is only 5.7 miles away, and keep you well informed.

Information Owen E. would like to know about your pet

• Your pet's favorite things/activities? • Vet details? • Emergency contact(s)? • Any medical conditions, allergies, or sensitivities? • Any meds? If so, what are doses and timing? • Feeding schedule and portions? • Any special needs or things to look out for? • Any aggression issues? (With dogs, cats, people, etc?) • If I'm hosting more than one of your pets, any concern about them fighting with each other? • Any sensitive body parts or trigger spots? • Any specific potty needs? • Up to date on rabies vaccine? • Does your pet exhibit any separation anxiety? For example: is he/she likely to cry or bark at times when I'm not in the room with him/her, like overnight? • How does your pet do on car rides? • Should your pet(s) be crated at any time? • Do they have up-to-date ID tags? Microchips? • Do they have a treat routine? • Any important commands or corrections I should know?

A typical day

⚽️❤️ FREQUENT INTERACTION — I'll walk with your dog(s) around the yard and pond several times a day (plus more quick potty breaks, if needed), spend additional hang-out time with them for company and playtime, and check on them frequently. Same for kitties, of course, except for the walks. And all animals will get tons of real love and affection.

Private Rooms & Personal Attn!

Pet care experience

I provide a safer and more relaxing experience for your pets — as well as a more worry-free time for you — than you'll find with many sitters and kennels who intermingle pets from different families. That practice unavoidably creates unpredictability and risk, which I eliminate by giving your pets their own private room. And since I only host a maximum of 4 clients at a time, I'm able to offer a level of loving attention and individualized care that isn't possible at large operations. I'm the guy you see at parties, in the corner talking to the dog or cat. I'm mature, responsible, and nice and I've had pets all my life. In fact, it's because of the many times I've faced the tricky and nerve-wracking challenge of finding great accommodations for all my own animals that I decided to offer this service to other pet lovers. I've worked as a boarder at 2 vet clinics. I've also got tons of experience caring for my own pets and those of friends and family, as well as countless strays and fosters. When your little ones are with me, you can truly and comfortably enjoy your time away, knowing my mission is to keep them very safe and happy.

Great experience with Owen! He took good care of Ayla, kept me updated, and she seemed comfortable and well cared for when I picked her up. I really appreciated the help and would definitely book again.

Owen was amazing with my puppy, Ayla. You can truly tell when someone genuinely cares for animals, and I felt very comfortable leaving her in his care. He kept me updated, was very responsive, and Ayla came home happy and well cared for. She’s still a busy puppy, so I really appreciated the patience and attention he gave her. I would definitely book with Owen again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
