Pet care is the heart of my daily routine! I’ve built my schedule around making sure every pet in my care gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks to start the day, midday drop-ins for play and potty breaks, or cozy overnight stays, I’m fully committed to keeping tails wagging and whiskers twitching. I limit the number of pets I care for at one time to ensure personalized attention and a stress-free environment. My days are structured but flexible so your pet’s needs always come first.

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine.

Information Rosemary A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs ahead of time . I am familiar with working with senior dogs but not good with medication administration unless it's with food.

A typical day

When I care for pets, fun is always part of the plan. I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality, whether that means long, sniff-filled walks for curious pups, playful games of fetch in the yard, or quiet cuddle time for pets who just want companionship. I make sure every pet gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and relaxed. For boarding stays, I create a home away from home experience with plenty of attention, affection, and downtime. For drop-ins and walks, I bring positive energy and a calm presence, making each visit something your pet looks forward to. My goal is to make every moment enjoyable, so your pet feels loved, safe, and entertained while you're away.

Rosemary was a legit godsend. She was amazing and I'm so happy I found her. My situation was very unique and she took it in stride. But the main thing was she helped my dogs feel comfortable and loved in a brand new house. She sent so many photos which helped ease my mind. Then she left my house super clean. I couldn't even tell she had been there. I will hire her again and recommend her to all my fellow dog people.

Rosemary watched our pup for 11 days at our home while we were away overseas. Pup was happy and communication was great ahead and during the stay. I would definitely recommend her and will also be rebooking for future trips.
