Summer can care for
Availability
Right now, I’m focused on school, so I have plenty of free time for pet care. My college schedule is flexible, which means I can easily fit in morning, afternoon, or evening walks and drop-in visits. Since I’m not working another job, I can give your pets the extra attention and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or sticking to feeding schedules, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and happy while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
As a pet parent myself (I have two dogs and a cat), I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and cared for while you’re away. When I care for pets in their own home, I stick to their normal routine — feeding, walks, playtime — so they feel comfortable and secure. I always double-check leashes, gates, and doors for safety, and I stay alert on walks to avoid unsafe situations. I also send updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how your pets are doing. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind, and for your pets to feel loved, happy, and safe.
Information Summer D. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pets, I like to know about their daily routine, any special needs, and what they’re most comfortable with. Things like feeding schedules, favorite activities, and how they do on walks are all super helpful. It’s also important to know if they have any health issues, medications, or quirks (like being nervous around other dogs, or if they’re escape artists at the door). The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.
A typical day
A typical day with me includes plenty of exercise, play, and love! For dogs, that might mean a nice walk to get their energy out, a game of fetch, or just exploring the yard and sniffing around. For cats, I love giving them playtime with toys or snuggles if that’s more their style. I always make sure pets get attention that matches their personality — whether it’s high-energy fun or calm companionship. My goal is to leave them happy, relaxed, and excited for the next visit.

Pet care experience
I’ve been around animals my whole life and have about 7 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds — mostly dogs and cats, but other animals too. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older pets who just need a little extra patience and love. What makes me different is that I really do treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your animals, so I always keep you updated and make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or sticking to a routine, I’ll give your pets the same love and attention they’re used to at home.

Summer is very reliable and responsible. This is the 2nd time she has cat sit for me. Highly recommend her services.

My dogs love Summer! She’s really great with availability and flexibility too and 10/10 recommend:)
Summer was my asst. manager at a pet store and she was wonderful to work with. She worked eight alongside us and provided wonderful care for all of the animals! She is very knowledgeable about lots of animals and does her utmost best with what she can to give the animals the best quality of life and keep them happy and healthy.
