Pet care experience

I have had dogs in my home all my life and believe a home isn’t complete without them. I have raised all of our pets from puppies and have a lot of experience with training the younger ones. My dogs have been all types throughout the years from a mini dachshund to a beautiful Doberman Pincher. My husband and myself currently have two beautiful, loving Golden Retrievers who get along with everyone and love having doggy friends over to play. I understand each dog is different and understand how to read a dog’s signals and adapt my approach accordingly. I have experience in all aspects of dog care. Including giving dogs medication, I believe in treating dogs as part of the family and would treat your dogs like my own.

Pam did a great job with my dog who has never been comfortable with other dogs. I’m very glad that Pam not only took care of my anti-social dog (got her during COVID) while I was away, but also helped her learn social skills with other dogs!

5-Star Review for Pamela – Exceptional Puppy Sitter We were incredibly fortunate to have Pamela care for our young Labrador puppy, Steele, for three nights while we were away. Steele is full of energy, currently teething, and—like many puppies—can be precocious, stubborn, and a handful at times. Despite all that, Pamela handled her with patience, confidence, and genuine affection. From the very beginning, it was clear that Pamela is a seasoned dog person. She took the time to understand Steele’s routines, quirks, and needs, and she always checked in before making any decisions—including asking permission to bring her well-mannered 2-year-old dog for play sessions. Their time together was a huge benefit for Steele’s socialization and energy levels, and it was done thoughtfully and responsibly. Pamela communicated consistently throughout our time away, sending daily updates, videos, and photos. This gave us complete peace of mind knowing Steele was not only safe but happy and engaged. Her attention to detail and willingness to keep us informed truly set her apart. Equally important, Pamela treated our home with the utmost respect—she cared for it as if it were her own. We returned to a spotless house and a very content puppy, which speaks volumes about her professionalism and care. We cannot recommend Pamela highly enough. Her experience, kindness, reliability, and exceptional communication make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a trusted sitter—especially for high-energy or challenging puppies. We will absolutely be booking with her again.

Our older dog needed extra care while we were away and Pam had the patience and took excellent care of our dog. Lots of communication when we couldn’t be there. So thankful to find such a great pet sitter.

I couldn’t be happier with the care that Pamela provided for my dog while I was away. She was punctual, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog looked great when I returned. I especially appreciated the attention to my older dogs’ needs. She went above and beyond to keep my dog happy. I highly recommend Pamela to anyone who wants a caring and responsible pet sitter!
