Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities! We always follow your pet’s routine and preferences to reduce stress while you’re away. ✔ Meet-and-greets are required for our safety and to ensure we’re a great fit for your pup(s). This helps us understand their personality, routine, and any special needs. ✔ We follow all instructions you provide, including feeding, medications, and house rules. ✔ Daily updates with photos & videos so you know your pet is happy and cared for! ✔ Emergency preparedness – We’re Pet CPR & First Aid trained, so we know what to do in case of an emergency. Our goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away!

Information Sarah Y. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best possible care, we like to know: ✔ Daily routine – Feeding schedule, potty breaks, favorite activities. ✔ Medical needs – Any medications, allergies, or past injuries. ✔ Behavioral traits – Anxiety triggers, separation anxiety, leash reactivity, or fear of loud noises. ✔ Social preferences – Do they love meeting other dogs or prefer solo adventures? ✔ Commands & Training – Any commands they know or training you’re working on that we can reinforce. The more we know, the better we can tailor our care to your pet’s specific needs!

A typical day

A typical day with us is tailored to your pet’s needs! ? Morning: We start with a morning potty break, breakfast, and a walk or playtime session. ? Midday: For house sitting clients, we provide companionship and enrichment. For dog walking clients, we offer midday walks or runs (Elizabeth runs—Alyssa is more of a fetch person ?). ? Afternoon: Another walk or potty break, followed by some cuddles or playtime. ? Evening: Dinner, winding down, and a relaxing night with belly rubs and bedtime routines. Every pet has a different personality and routine, and we adjust our schedule to match what keeps your pup happy and comfortable!
