Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow their routine closely to ensure consistency, comfort, and minimal stress. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or cuddles, I provide attentive care while keeping a watchful eye on their well-being. I also respect your home by maintaining cleanliness and security. At home, our family’s Maltipoos, Noelle and Raider, rule the house—Noelle, our little queen, and Raider, the playful king, keep us on our toes with their endless energy and snuggles. Because of them, I know just how much love and attention pets need, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and affection!

Information Stephanie D. would like to know about your pet

It’s super helpful for me to know a bit about your pet before we get started! If you can share things like their favorite activities, any special needs or quirks, or routines they’re used to, it’ll help me make sure they’re as comfortable and happy as possible. Whether it’s something they love or something to watch out for, the more I know, the better I can care for them! I’m most comfortable with smaller dogs, as that’s what we currently have at home, but I also have plenty of experience with larger dogs, especially those from the doodle family.

A typical day

With your pets, I’ll make sure they get plenty of fun and attention! We’ll enjoy relaxing walks around the neighborhood or maybe head to a nearby park for a little more adventure. If they love to play, we’ll do some fetch or tug-of-war, and if they prefer to chill, we’ll have some snuggle time or just hang out. I’m also happy to sneak in a little training or mental games if they’re into that. Whatever your pet loves, I’m here to make sure they have a good time and feel comfy while you're away!

With a lifetime of experience caring for my own cats and dogs, I understand that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply ensuring your pet feels safe and loved, I treat every furry friend as if they were my own.
