I've grown up around animals my whole life. There were always at least two big dogs in our house, and I've been caring for friends' and neighbors' cats since high school. These days I share my home with a rescue cat of my own. I have years of experience with high-energy dogs who need a lot of exercise and with senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra care, and I'm just as comfortable with big, strong dogs as small ones. I treat every pet like my own and bring reliability and attention to detail to every stay. You'll get a clear routine, honest communication, and regular photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I follow your instructions on food, meds, and quirks, and I notice small changes in appetite or behavior worth flagging. I'm also very active, so energetic pups get the exercise they need. Long walks, runs, and real playtime are part of my day, and your dog will come home happy and tired. Puppies and kittens get patience and gentle, reward-based redirection, and older pets get a calm stay at their own pace. I'm happy to do a meet and greet before your trip. Your pet's safety and comfort come first.
