Working from home gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care naturally into the day; walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout. Most pets are rarely left alone for long periods, which can be especially helpful for dogs that get anxious or just like having company. Overall, I try to keep things steady and predictable for pets, since they tend to do best with routine; regular walks, meals, playtime, and companionship built into the day so they feel comfortable and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
I offer flexible pet care in both my home and the client’s home, depending on what works best for each pet and their routine. In my home, pets are treated like part of the day-to-day household in a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and settle in comfortably, with consistent routines for feeding, walks, rest, attention, and plenty of time for play and companionship so they feel at ease and not bored. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine and following any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and anything else that helps them feel secure, while also making sure they get plenty of one-on-one attention so they still feel cared for while you’re away. If I’m house sitting, I also help keep things running smoothly by bringing in mail, watering plants, and making sure everything stays secure, and I always provide regular updates with messages and photos so you know how things are going. Since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate midday check-ins, overnight stays, and longer care periods, and I’m also pretty adaptable if anything changes last minute. My goal is simply to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for the whole time.

Information Soly F. would like to know about your pet
Before I start caring for your pet, I’d love to get a good sense of their routine and personality so I can make things as comfortable and familiar as possible for them. Things like their daily schedule, feeding instructions, any allergies or dietary needs, and what they’re usually excited about (toys, walks, treats, etc.) are all super helpful. I’m also happy to follow any training cues or commands they already know so everything stays consistent for them. And if there are any quirks, habits, or little things that help them feel more comfortable, definitely let me know; it really helps me understand how to make them feel at home. I’m really looking forward to meeting them and making sure they’re happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
A typical day
When I’m spending time with pets, I like to keep things fun but also tailored to their personality and energy level. For dogs, that might be a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or just a good walk where they can explore and sniff everything along the way (which is usually their favorite part anyway). I also have access to a fenced dog park in my apartment complex, which is great for safe off-leash play when appropriate and gives dogs a nice space to run around and burn energy. If they’re into it, I’ll also mix in some light training; things like practicing “sit,” “stay,” or even fun tricks like “paw” or “high five,” just to keep their mind engaged. For more relaxed days, I’ll use puzzle toys or activities to keep them mentally stimulated, or just hang out with them for some calm cuddle time and attention. Overall, I just try to read their mood and match their energy; whether that means playtime, a walk, or just being a calm companion so they feel comfortable and happy.

Pet care experience
I work remotely, which means I’m home a lot and able to give pets real attention throughout the day, not just quick check-ins between errands. I’ve been a dog owner since 2009, and while my two dogs sadly passed away a few years back, that long experience really shaped how I understand routines, personalities, and all the little quirks that make each pet unique. I usually keep things crate-free so dogs can relax and feel at home; they’re welcome to lounge on the couch, their bed, my bed, or wherever they choose, and I want them to feel like they’re just hanging out in their second home. If your pup is crate-trained or prefers a crate routine though, I’m totally happy to stick with that too. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and sticking closely to their normal routine, whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I’m pretty used to everything from energetic zoomies to picky eating to strong opinions about walk routes, so I try to meet each pet where they are and make them feel at home. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages so you’re never wondering how things are going, and can relax knowing your pet is being well cared for (and probably a little spoiled).
Reviews
Soly is so great!! He was always there for our pup, sends lots of pics, and best of all truly loves spending time with our dog. This was the second time he’s cared for our canine family member and it was just as good as the first! I would trust him for any amount of time. He’s communicates so well and was flexible with times for drop off/pick up when we had delays. You really can’t go wrong with Soly.
Soly went above and beyond in taking excellent care of my dog! He provided thorough daily updates with pictures and videos. It was clear that Honey was happy and comfortable in his care. Looking forward to booking with Soly again and highly recommend to others!
Soly was the most thorough and detail-oriented dog sitter I have ever used; and I have used many. I was very impressed! I really enjoyed all the photos and detailed updates from him each day. Moe seemed very happy and I am grateful for the care and attention Soly gave to my best buddy. Soly's townhouse is in a great place for dogs. There was a nice walking trail and a great dog private dog park that was completely fenced in. I am confident your dog will be in great hands with Soly.
