Care You Trust, Peace of Mind

I CARE FOR DOGS AND CATS and so many others :) I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pets behind and trust someone else with their care. I believe every pet deserves personalized attention, patience, and plenty of love. I'm highly detail-oriented and take pride in following your instructions carefully so your pets can maintain their normal routine and feel comfortable while you're away. Whether you need feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration, potty breaks, or light cleanup around your home, I'm happy to help. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want mine cared for. I also provide detailed visit updates with notes and photos so you can see how your pets are doing in real time. I know the peace of mind that comes from knowing your furry family members are happy, safe, and receiving the attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide pet care exclusively in your home so your pets can stay safe, comfortable, and stress‑free in their own familiar environment. I follow your routine exactly as you outline it—feeding schedules, cleaning habits, preferred tools, and any special instructions—so your furry friends experience consistency even while you’re away. Because I don’t bring other pets into my home or mix households, your fur babies receive my full attention and a calm, controlled space tailored to their needs. My focus is always on maintaining their normal routine, keeping their environment clean, and ensuring they feel secure and well‑cared‑for at all times.

Dulcey is trustworthy and does the things that make a difference for our pet. She spends the time and does the extra things, like playing with our cat and taking him out onto the screened in porch for a while. She even sends a picture so we know everything is good. Now when she stops by, our cat goes right up to her, because she knows how to bond with a pet and earn its trust.

Dulcey is a gifted and caring person that has always had a special bond and relationship with animals and pets of all types. From Guinea pigs and bunnies to dogs and cats, she has a way of connecting with animals and pets of all types. She deeply cares about the welfare of the pets that she is privileged to watch over much as she would her own family members. I could not recommend another person more highly than her!

We have 2 Labradors and only trust Shontelle (Dulcey) to care for our furbabies when we travel abroad! I literally fly her in because I know they’ll be happy and well taken care of! She is responsible, communicative, exercises them, and loves on them as if they were her own. She is also clean, organized, … so our home has always been as we left it, if not better!

I have known Dulcey S. for over 15 years and used her services for several years to help with household management, pet care, cleaning and organizing, and housesitting. Dulcey is very professional, hardworking, reliable, trustworthy, and kind and compassionate. She helped me in ways that deeply mattered to me and my family without making me feel incapable or obsolete but rather I felt supported and accepted. She became a true friend, like a family member.

Schedule

Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I work part‑time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning and evening visits without conflict. I’m able to adjust my availability around your needs, whether that means sticking to precise feeding times, handling multi‑step routines, or providing consistent daily check‑ins. My flexibility ensures your pets receive dependable, structured care every day you’re away.

To ensure the best possible care for your pets, there are a few important details I need to know ahead of time. Please provide specific instructions regarding their feeding schedules, exact medication dosages, and any behavioral triggers or fears they might have. It is also incredibly helpful to know their favorite hiding spots around the house so I can easily locate them when I arrive. Finally, please ensure I have updated home access codes, alarm instructions, and emergency contact information for both you and your preferred veterinarian.
