I have a full-time job, however, remotely!! This allows one person at all times to care for your pets, during most hours! My personal break(s) will be scheduled based on both client and provider agreed upon schedules. For example: after evening pet care, there will be a 2-4 hour provider break for dinner and family time before returning for overnight care.

Safety, trust & environment

Home has pvc wood vinyl for easy mess clean up. The yard is flat and fully fenced in. Warmer weather will have plastic kiddo pools for dogs to cool off. If your dog weighs more than 85 pounds, I require dogs to be leashed trained and/or with a “no pull” dog harness for the safety of your pet and care taker. Meaning, dogs that continually pull excessively while on leash, will either receive short potty breaks, or only “fenced-in” activities. This will be agreed upon at initial encounter. We understand the need to burn off energy! We want to keep everyone safe while we strive to keep the routine as close to yours as much as possible.

Home

Lives in a house
Has a fenced garden
Non-smoking household

Information Shulamit & Samuel D. would like to know about your pet

Please tell us if you have any special needs (medications, personality preferences) and/or behaviors to take into account prior to our first encounter so that transitions are easier for both pet and owner!

A typical day

"A tired dog is a good dog!" is what I say. My goal is to provide opportunities for dogs to express their energy and provide positive companionship. Freedom for yard visits, walks if wanted and lots of snuggles. I follow the pets lead.

Shula provided excellent pet care to my two dogs. She kept me advised and submitted photos. She did a great job with details and instructions. Would highly recommend her!

Shula and Samuel watched our two hooligans while we were out of town for a long weekend. They went above and beyond again! They took great care of the house and most importantly, we came home to two happy and healthy doggos. My family and I cannot say enough great things about them!
