Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m flexible and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or quality cuddle time, I make sure each visit is stress-free and tailored to your dog’s personality and schedule. Weekdays and weekends are both available, and I always build in time for updates, so you’ll never wonder how your pup is doing.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust & environment Keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable is always my top priority—whether I’m staying at your place or welcoming your pet into mine. I stick closely to your care instructions and take time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine. When I’m in your home, I make sure everything stays just the way they’re used to. At my place, it’s calm and cozy with lots of supervision and comfy spots to lounge. ***I have two sweet Frenchies who are great with other dogs—we’ve had a third pup stay with us for weeks at a time, and it’s always a blast. I keep things secure, walk with sturdy leashes, and treat every pet like one of my own. If you’re looking for care for two or more dogs, I usually prefer staying at your place—it helps keep things low-stress and more familiar for them.

Information ROWENA C. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I like to know a few key things to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away! Things like: Do they have any medical needs, allergies, or medications? How do they do with other pets, people, or new environments? What’s their typical daily routine—walk times, meals, nap spots? Any fears or quirks I should know about (thunderstorms, vacuums, mail carriers!)? What are their favorite toys, treats, or comfort items? Are there any training cues or behavior goals you're working on? The more I know, the better I can make their time with me feel like a little vacation of their own—full of love, structure, and their favorite things!
A typical day
A typical day with your pet is filled with love, attention, and plenty of tail wags (or purrs!). I start the day with a good morning walk or play session to get those zoomies out. Throughout the day, I make sure they have fresh water, clean spaces, and lots of interaction—whether it's fetch in the yard, cuddles on the couch, or quiet time for older pets who just want a companion nearby. I stick closely to your pet's routine to keep them happy, relaxed, and feeling at home. For dogs, I love mixing it up with tug-of-war, fetch, long sniffari walks, and even frozen treat puzzles to keep their minds active. For cats, I break out the feather wands, laser pointers, and cardboard boxes—whatever gets their paws moving! If your pet has a favorite toy or game, we’ll make it part of our daily fun. I tailor activities to each pet’s personality—whether they’re a playful puppy, a chill senior, or a curious kitty.

Puppies to Seniors I’ve Got You!
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for dogs for 15 years, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or giving meds, I treat every pup like part of the family. Friends and neighbors rely on me for everything from daily visits to overnight stays, and I’ve built great bonds with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident, calm, and always ready for fetch, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. Bonus: I never show up without treats (with your permission, of course!).
Reviews

Our experience with Rowena was fantastic and we will definitely be using her again when the time comes! She provided updates throughout the stay and we could tell our dog was comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend!
My frenchie loves Rowena! She's attentive, kind, and quickly picked up on my fur baby's cues (e.g. needing to go to the bathroom, needing space, wanting to play).
I left my dog with rowena during an emergency situation where I had to go out of town. Lily (my dog) loved being there! Rowena takes excellent care of the dogs, often sending videos and pictures. She is very responsive and responsible and knows the dogs needs well. Lily can be a little introverted and she made sure Lily had her soace. I highly recommend!
Rowena is the best!!! She takes such good care of our dogs and truly loves them. She is good with all breeds, especially the ones that need extra attention like our English bulldog. Our black lab and bulldog absolutely adore her!!! 10/10 would recommend Rowena:)
