Reliable pet lover at your service!

Pet care experience

Hello there! I'm Summer James, a passionate animal lover renowned for my attentive and compassionate approach to caregiving. Over the years, I've opened my heart and home to a diverse array of creatures, ranging from beloved cats and dogs to more unconventional companions like turtles, snakes, and even a rescued baby squirrel teetering on the edge of survival. My journey into animal welfare commenced over two decades ago, collaborating closely with rescue organizations to facilitate adoptions and safely transport animals to their forever homes. Additionally, I've dedicated myself to fostering animals in need, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve while awaiting adoption. My professional background includes a tenure at a prominent veterinary clinic in Memphis, TN, where I managed front desk operations, coordinated appointments, and facilitated the care of pets in various capacities, including daycare and boarding. Attentive to each pet's unique needs, I diligently followed instructions provided by their guardians, particularly when it came to specialized care and medication administration. My dedication extends beyond merely providing companionship to energetic pets; I'm equipped to offer tender care to those facing health challenges or advancing age. Proficient in administering medication and skilled in nurturing injured or ailing animals, I prioritize their well-being and ensure they feel secure and cherished under my watch. With a flexible schedule and unwavering reliability, I make it my mission to prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness above all else. You can trust that they'll enjoy a safe, nurturing environment filled with engaging activities and precious moments, captured in adorable snapshots.

Summer is a very intelligent, considerate and respectful person. She is respectful of your property and trustworthy. Your pet will be happy with her as she has experience in many aspects of pet care such as nutrition, as well as training. Have known her for over 20 years.

Summer is a colleague and friend of mine at a local veterinarian office. She is passionate and detail oriented when it comes to caring for dogs. She truly gives it a one hundred percent effort to make sure every dog is cared for in a loving and caring manner. I would totally trust Summer to care for my dogs, and I’m quite certain she would do so like no one else. She is professional, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to caring for dogs. I promise you that you and your dog will wag your tails with the superb service Summer offers! ?

Summer has taken care of all four of my dogs on several occasions. They all love her and get so excited when she comes by to visit or to take care of them while I'm on vacation. She might spoil them a little more than I do! One of my dogs has to stay separated from the others and she is on a strict medicine schedule for congestive heart failure. I can always count on Summer to make sure she has her medicine and is well taken care of!

Safety, trust & environment

I live on the river and have lots of space to run and play. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced in yard. If your dog is adventurous, I am quite comfortable with using a leash if needed. I am the last house on a dead end road, so there is zero through-traffic. Cars are not an issue here at all and the area is very safe.

Information Summer M. would like to know about your pet

I want to know as much about their personality and lifestyle as I can. My goal is to continue the same routine and daily activities as you do. This way they will feel comfortable, calm and secure while you’re away. I want them to know that they can feel loved and have FUN, even when mommy/daddy are away!

A typical day

I'm dedicated to ensuring your baby's joy and contentment while you're away by tailoring their experience to match their favorite activities! Whether it's plenty of belly rubs, cozy snuggles, or exciting games of fetch, my goal is to keep them happily engaged and comfortable throughout their time with me. Rest assured, I'll go the extra mile to mirror their usual daily routine, ensuring they feel right at home and cherished every step of the way!

I currently work for myself, so I am flexible and have plenty of time for your fur-baby! I spend lots of time outdoors with my active chocolate lab. I’d love for your furbaby to join in on our fun in the sun!
