Thoughtful & Active Dog Sitter

I’ve had dogs all of my life, have taken training courses, read books on positive training practices, and volunteered at shelters. I am a writer who works from home with a 3 year old 12.5lb playful doxie/terrier mix who needs walks early and often — so much of my day is spent on slow sniffaris and trips to the park. I live alone in a large apartment with several plush dog beds strewn about, so there is plenty of space to stretch and play — and my couch sits along three large windows where dogs can perch to watch the passersby. If your dog needs a sitter or a sleepover, I’d love to have them — and my little pup would love it even more. Since I’m around all day, I’m available to meet your dog’s special needs — administering medicine, adhering to feeding times, playing tug of war, whatever the case may be. We have warm and happy home full of natural treats waiting for you and your dog.

Parker has taken care of my pups Mia (a 6 year old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel) and Daysie (a 14 year old schnoodle) on numerous occasions. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Parker’s care of my babies! He follows my instructions to a T; he’s great at taking them for plenty of walks and giving them lots of cuddles! My pups are always happy to see him when he arrives. I would recommend his services to anyone who needs to take time away from their sweethearts! 🐾🐾

Parker watched our pup for us while we were on vacation for a week, and we would recommend him to anyone! He took such great care of her, including lots of exercise and play time. He even sent pictures of our happy girl when we asked. You can be sure he'll take great care of your fur-baby!

Schedule

I work from home and so am available to fulfill your dog’s needs without bother! I never leave my own dog for more than a few hours at a time so you can rest easy knowing your dog is getting the focus and energy they need.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs in my home get many daily walks, at least one trip to the park every day — and most of all sensitive and informed care. My family makes fun of me for how attentive I am to my own dog, brushing his teeth and treating him with healthy snacks, watching him closely for changes in behavior and physical afflictions. Your dog would receive the same care (plus or minus the teeth brushing). And you will receive as many photos as you can handle ensuring they are having fun.

A typical day

Your dog will come along with us on walks through my quiet neighborhood, on sniffaris through the park, and when we get home will have an active playmate in my dog Cooper and with all his toys!
