Pet care experience

Animal loving grad student

I specialize in calm, attentive care—great for cuddly pups or those needing a little extra patience 💛 I have owned pets my whole life. I have been caring for animals professionally since 2015. I love hiking and snuggling with all animals. I have experience in walking, sitting, feeding, medications, bathing and helping with training. I owned my own dog hiking and sitting business in Park City, UT before moving here to MN. I have also worked for a professional dog walking and sitting company.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to care for your animal in their own home. I can care for your pet in my home for short periods of time. I have one cat she is very calm. I enjoy getting outside and walking and playing.

Summer was such a great communicator and so responsive. She was so good with all the pets, we have a dog and 2 cats, we felt very comfortable with her staying with them. She gave us daily updates and made us feel so confident that our pets were well taken care of and happy. We’ll definitely ask her to sit them again! Thanks Summer!

Summer is always communicative when she house / dog sits, and our 9 year old little boy seems to really love her!

Summer does a great job with my anxious dog. I’m always glad to have her sit Cedar. She gives him great walks, pays attention to everything he needs, and always gets him to warm to her. I appreciate that she checks in every day. Also, During this trip Summer was very helpful in working with my family when we had some unexpected interruptions to our travel dates.

Summer was so great from meet-and-greet through the stay with my two pups. I appreciated the prompt communication and could see my dogs had a great time while I was away. Thank you!
