Trusted, dependable, 1:1 pet care

Pet care experience

I provide services with Rover because I know how hard it is to leave your pet when you’re working a long day, while you’re traveling, or just want a bit more interaction and care for them. You deserve peace of mind, and your pet deserves a calm, loving environment while you’re away. Services include: • Boarding your pet(s) in my home — following of any care instructions you provide • Drop-in visits to your pet(s) in your home — following of any care instructions you provide • Of course tons of pictures and a detailed report I want your pet’s experience to be as individualized and calm as possible. That’s why I only accept pets from one household at a time, unless it is a repeat pet client in which I am comfortable with their demeanor. This ensures your pet gets consistent attention, predictable routines, and a comfortable home environment while you’re away. I keep my service radius small, primarily serving the Riverpointe and Palisades neighborhoods. My goal will always be quality over quantity. My prices reflect the level of private, one-household-at-a-time care your pet receives. Whether it’s boarding or drop-in visits, you can expect: • Photo updates + notes so you always know how they’re doing (just tell me if it’s too much, otherwise plan to be bombarded with details of their day) • Plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and companionship • Access to water at all times • I’ll follow your routine and house rules (feeding schedule, crate routine, commands, etc.) • Medications and/or vitamins administered as directed Notes: My husband, Seth, helps and is my back-up for coverage and support when needed. We have two young kids who are used to dogs and are taught to be calm and respectful. For drop-in visits, they may need to join me. For the most part, they ignore pets and let them be. All interaction is supervised. And of course, we will always be respectful of your home and pet.

Our dog Rufus had so much fun at Summer’s house! Summer was very communicative and gave us so many updates while he was staying with her, which we really appreciated. Her and her family were so sweet, we felt so comfortable leaving him in their care. Rufus can’t wait to stay over again!

Summer was excellent to deal with and sent me plenty of updates and pictures. Moose and Gia would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have their dogs treated like family. Thank You!

Sully had another fantastic stay with Summer! We know he is in good hands whenever he is with her and she treats him like he is her own. She communicates so well and keeps us updated all day long. Summer will always be our #1 choice!
