Pet care experience

Treating your pets like family!

I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents believed that helping care for pets was an important way to build responsibility, so animals have always been a part of my life, and I’ve truly never gone without having a pet in my home. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping care for animals of all ages and needs, including temporary foster pets, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I’m comfortable supporting animals who require medications, extra patience, mobility accommodations, and individualized routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or needs a little extra support, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own.

Highly recommend! My dog stayed here for a multiple day booking and had an amazing time. The sitter was fantastic and which allowed my dog to socialize and spend time around a friendly large breed dog, which was a wonderful bonus experience. It was great to see my dog so comfortable, well-cared for, and happily socializing. I will definitely use this sitter again in the future!

Shea stayed at the house watching my dog for an extended amount of time. I have a very "needy" dog - and she was EXCELLENT with him. She's very friendly and willing to go out of her way to keep the dog on your schedule. Highly recommend!

Pets

A typical day

I live a very active lifestyle and enjoy spending time outside, so your pup will get plenty of opportunities for movement, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. Whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime in my fenced yard, or outings to the dog park (if approved by you and a good fit for your dog). I also have a friendly dog who enjoys the company of other dogs, so your pet can have companionship and social interaction while you’re away. At the same time, I understand that every dog has different needs and comfort levels, and I’m happy to adjust activities, playtime, and downtime to match your pet’s routine and personality. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, so you can enjoy time away with peace of mind.
