Availability

I'm available to pet sit from Friday through Monday and would love to help care for your pet during this time. I work from home on both Fridays and Mondays, so I'll be around throughout those days to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care. This means your pet won't be left alone for extended periods on those days. Over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday), I'm also fully available to maintain their regular routine, take them for walks, provide meals on schedule, and give them all the love and attention they need. I’m also available Tuesdays - Thursday before 8am & after 4:30pm I'd be happy to discuss your pet's specific needs, routine, and any special care instructions. Please let me know if you'd like to set up a time to meet beforehand so your pet can get comfortable with me.

I’ll visit the house at scheduled times to let the dog outside for bathroom breaks and provide meals according to the feeding schedule. If the dog needs exercise beyond the yard time, I’ll take them for a walk around the neighborhood. Each visit lasting 30 minutes, focusing on the dog's immediate needs - relieving themselves, eating, and getting a bit of attention. I’ll secure the house when leaving and may send an update about how the dog is doing

A typical day

Make walks exciting by exploring new routes and letting them sniff around, or bring a ball for fetch in safe areas. At home, hide treats for them to find and practice simple commands like “sit” and “stay.

Your Pet's BF While You're Away

Pet care experience

As a lifelong dog lover, I've shared my home with furry companions for over twenty years. Growing up with rescue dogs taught me patience and how every dog has their own story, while my current yellow lab keeps me active and reminds me daily of the joy that comes from a dog's unconditional love. I understand how much pets mean to their families and the importance of maintaining their comfort when you're away. From energetic pups who need lots of exercise to gentle seniors who prefer quiet companionship, I approach each dog with genuine affection and the same care I give my own. You can trust that your beloved companion will be treated like family.
