Pet care experience

Compassionate and Experienced Care

I grew up surrounded by animals, including two German Shepherds, fish, birds, and a dwarf rabbit. My lifelong love for animals deepened when I got my own pup, and now I truly understand the importance of trusting someone with your pet to give you peace of mind. I regularly care for my friends' dogs when they're out of town, and my social pup ensures their dogs have a companion to play with. Note that I am currently only accepting one pet at a time.

Oliver had a wonderful stay with Rosemary and Ruby. We were given multiple daily photos and verbal updates on his food and activity trends. Rosemary also has experience with dogs that are picky eaters and have shown a lot of patience and care in helping Oliver to eat his meals. We would definitely recommend her as a sitter!

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Rosemary went above and beyond, caring for our pup Olive like she was her own. Her attention to detail, warmth, and the way she truly connected with Olive gave us total peace of mind. Her sweet pup Ruby was so playful and friendly with Olive—they were the perfect pair! Exceptional in every way—highly recommend!

Exceptional care taker! I wouldn't trust my frenchie (Luke) to anyone else. We all know frenchies are mischievous, always getting into something! Rosemary is absolutely wonderful, patient and reliable with Luke. She kept up with his energy and prevented him from eating all the random things that make him sick. Sometimes I think he's happier to see her than his own "mom"!! Couldn't be happier and luckier to have found her!

Rosemary is an absolute sweetheart with Enzo. He comes back super happy from his walks and gets super excited when he sees her. We love her!

Rosemary has helped me watch my baby Benito on several occasions, sometimes a day other times a week- I always feel that my pup is in good hands and can be at ease knowing he is safe. My dog is really specific about his food & walks and Rosemary is very receptive about what he needs and keeping his routine as much as possible. What I love most about leaving Benito with Rosemary, is her pup Ruby - Ruby is a very playful pup, she is very warm and friendly to other dogs. She helps keep Benito entertained and reduce his anxiety of being without me.

I can’t recommend Rosemary enough! My dog struggles with separation anxiety, and leaving him is always stressful for both of us. However, from the moment we arrived, I could tell he was comfortable with her, which is rare for him. She has such a calm and caring presence, and her own dog was so sweet and respectful, which really helped mine feel at ease. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with messages and pictures, and it was clear that my pup was not only well cared for but genuinely happy. I completely trust her with my dog, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!

Pets

A typical day

I work from home and we live close to three nearby dog parks and a beautiful walking path, your pet will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and fun. My pup likes to go to the dog park so we go twice a day so she can run off leash, play fetch and play with other pup friends. If the weather is not great, we play at home.

Let me know if they have any special needs that I should be aware of. How are they around other dogs overall. Any specific behavioral traits I should know (ie separation anxiety, shyness or aggression to specific breeds, fear of objects etc).
