Pet care experience

Cozy Canine Retreat: A Home Away

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. It started with my own, and I gradually got hired to take care of various neighbors pets when those neighbors went on vacation. I’ve taken care of puppies and older dogs, and can do so well enough as long as I’m provided details on their needs during the meet&greet.

Sheri had a great time with Sam and family. She ate, slept and played well. Sam was responsible, interested in her care and wellbeing. He sent photos of Sheri and updates on how she was doing. Look forward to her staying with Sam again in the future.

Sam is so great! He clearly loves animals and cares for his own dogs well. Sam is reliable and friendly! I highly recommend him as a trusted pet sitter. I will definitely hire him again!

Schedule

I work Part-Time and attended one in-person class twice a week, that means I’ll be home most of the time and can take care of your pets whenever they need. I also live with someone who works from home, so even when I’m not around, your dogs will be in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I give your pets the same respect I give my own. I pet them and play with them if that’s what they want, and if they don’t want that then I just keep an eye of them and make sure they’re not up to any mischief. And if I have to leave the dog alone overnight, the first thing I do in the morning after letting them out is check any areas available to them for any accidents, just to be safe.
