Pet care experience

We sit. They stay. You relax.

We’ve had dogs all our lives and have not been without a dog for the past 15 years. We love spending time with our furry friends and friend's and family's furbabies. We have experience with dogs of all sizes, from teacup chihuahuas to large great danes. Stephanie even worked at a doggy daycare in her teens/early 20s. While we mostly take care of dogs, we would love to have the privilege to spend time with your cat(s), too. We currently have 1 dog and 1 cat of our own and are ready to spend time with your special animal baby of any (except snakes for Stephanie- so sorry!) species. (If you have a cow that you'd like to be checked on, Stephanie is your girl!)

Stephanie & Philip saved our vacation. We had a sitter cancel on us the last minute. They weren't put off with Addie's aggressive behavior. Stephanie & Philip bonded well with her. Communication was excellent.

Stephanie and Philip were absolutely amazing. We needed a sitter for our cat last minute because we needed to attend an out of state funeral. The pictures and funny check-in updates we received gave us much needed laughter during a tough few days away. Knowing that our cat was well looked after gave us such peace of mind. We would absolutely book them again!

Super duo that took wonderful care of our pets and clearly communicated how things were going. Very patiently dealt with a few small challenges which was really appreciated. We will definitely be rebooking when the need arises. Thanks so much!

We had a great experience with Stephanie! She took wonderful care of our two cats over the weekend, kept us updated, and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for kitties. Would absolutely book again!

Philip and Stephanie did a fantastic job taking care of Trixie and Thorne for me. It was so wonderful knowing my pets were in good hands while I was attending a celebration of life event for the loss of my girlfriend. Philip even took the cardboard boxes I had that needed to go to recycling for me. Great people for sure.

Schedule

We both work from home. When you aren't available or are just too darn tired to take Winnie the Poodle for a walk or they just need someone to spend some time with, hit us up and we’ll do it for you! Our schedule is pretty flexible. If our calendar here isn't showing that we’re available, send us a message anyway and we can probably work something out.

Safety, trust & environment

In our world, furry companions aren't just pets—they're cherished family members, each with their own quirks and unconditional love to share. We’ve spent a lifetime embracing the joy of treating them not just as animals, but as beloved children with wagging tails and boundless affection. In our care, your pets are not just under a watchful eye; they're enveloped in a warm embrace, showered with the same love and attention we give to our own family. Because to us, love knows no bounds, whether it's wrapped in fur or flesh.

Pets

A typical day

When we're with your pet, the fun just keeps on going and going! We'll walk, talk, run, play, and maybe even have some doggy friendly ice cream. They'll be living the good life while you're doing your thing!

Before we make our time together official, please let us know about your pet's temperament and personality. We also like to set up a meet and greet before we book to make sure we're not total strangers to you or your doggo(s) and they'll remember that we're there for the fun stuff while you're away.
