Pet care experience

Gregarious Ginger & Pet Lover!

I've grown up with and had animals all throughout my life: consistently having and caring for dogs as well as well as others including: turtles, lizards, fish, guinea pigs, fish, parakeets, and cats. I am a true animal lover (when I was a kid I wanted to be a vet) and believe firmly in needs-based care that is specific to each animal: their biology and personality. I have comfortability accommodating different feeding schedules, medication needs, playtime, and plenty of walks/exercise needs.

Peter is a no-brainer choice for my partner and me whenever we need to leave town and entrust someone to come check on our kitties, give meds, and send updates. Thanks, Peter!

From the moment we met Peter we knew our kitties would be in good hands. He asked great questions about their care and has such a warm and friendly demeanor. He even went out of the way to send photos of our shy kitties that were hiding away to assure us they were doing okay. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience using Rover and cannot recommend Peters services enough!

Peter was great! Super communicative, and was very accommodating despite a last minute booking emergency.

Peter is great! He is so friendly, reliable, and responsive. He did several drop-in visits for our little dog while we were out of town for a day. He gave excellent updates. We felt totally comfortable knowing our dog was with him. Our dog seemed to feel really comfortable with him as soon as they met. We will definitely use Peter again in the future and will recommend to our friends.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize joy and personalized care when in my home or my clients. I currently have a domestic box turtle. When in a client's home I will respect house rules and am a tidy and clean. When pets are in my home I live in a clean and tidy one-bedroom condo in a fully fenced very pet friendly community with easy access to outdoors, multiple grassy areas, and plenty of safe areas to walk pets. My approach to care is grounded in love, compassion and joy - hire me today!

Pets

A typical day

I have a very consistent daily routine and will integrate into my life the same level of care and detail for your pet. I enjoy relaxing and cuddling and also being active outside so dogs can enjoy their time with good walks, playtime, and stimulation in the right ways. My job is flexible so I can meet their needs and will provide daily updates (with photos) to you as an owner. I do have a smaller doggie (Bernice) and she’s generally pretty friendly with other dogs.

16 to 40 lbs
Takes only 1 client at a time
Peter can host up to 1 pet per night
I communicate often with owners and am open and flexible to different dogs and different breeds and can follow special instructions for the animal as provided. I DO NOT take on dogs with extreme separation anxiety / issues with excessive barking. I do have a doggie (Bernice) and she’s generally pretty friendly with other dogs. For care in my home DO NOT book if your dog isn’t comfortable with another dog.
These prices are for 1 dog.
