Just call me Purry Pawpins!

Pet care experience

My name is Portia and I have been an animal lover all my life--now it's time for me to love on yours! I used to be a veterinary technician, so if they are in need of medication you needn't worry about someone tackling that task. I enjoy all types of animals, small or large. I've been caring for other's pets for 12 years, but have had fur babies all my life. My clients mean the world to me. They're my extended furry family. When working in the veterinary field I saw so many pets board and so few of them were truly comfortable. They don't what's going on, so many different sights and sounds, and most importantly no you. While I may not be you, I can help provide a calm and fun buddy in their home. Being in their environment is so important which is why I like to offer custom in-home pet care. On top of super awesome overnight snuggles I offer good 'ol fashion walks, potty breaks, and hang outs. *Requests under 24hr notice will not be accepted for new clients. This does not provide time for a proper meet and greet.

Portia gave so much love to both of my cats 🥰 She gave my older one her daily meds with no problem! Will be rebooking in the future <3

We love having Portia watch our sassy kitten. She's been great at dropping in, scooping as needed, and corralling the chaos that may occur due to our cat. Would definitely recommend :)

Portia was the perfect person for our senior dog coco. She was attentive, listened to our laundry list of items for our senior baby, and made sure to check in with us frequently. It was our first experience hiring a sitter for our Coco and we’re so glad Portia was there. She made us feel comfortable, safe, and most importantly, that our dog was in great hands.

Information Portia F. would like to know about your pet

I strongly encourage Meet and Greets! This is a way for owners and pets to get to know me and adjust to a new person being around. I have ZERO breed preferences, I am definitely not a Breedist. Poms to Rots, I love them all! Please tell me every little thing about your dog! I want to know about their day; what are their routines? Do they have preferred walking routes, and are there things we need to avoid? How are their social skills? Do they like to hit the dog park and make new friends or are they more of a loner? Do they have special medical or behavioral needs? What are their training cues?

A typical day

A full day with your dog might look something like this: wake up, potty break, breakfast, snuggles, playtime, lunch (if applicable), walk, snuggles, playtime, dinner, playtime, bedtime.
