While I do work full-time, I have a flexible schedule throughout the week that allows me to offer drop-in visits and walks at various times during the day. I make it a priority to build pet care into my routine, and I’m happy to coordinate timing that works best for you and your pet’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in their own space, I prioritize consistency and comfort. I stick closely to your routines—walks, feeding, meds, crate time, or play. I keep the home tidy and respect your space as if it were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and notes so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.

Information Summer S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I always like to know a few key things: Their daily routine (feeding, walking, playtime, etc.) Any medical needs or medications Behavioral quirks (Are they shy? Do they react to other animals or strangers?) How they do on walks or in new environments Favorite toys, treats, or calming tricks Anything they're afraid of or things to avoid The more I know upfront, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like you would!

A typical day

I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality! For dogs, that might mean going on long walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, or just enjoying a good belly rub and some downtime. For cats, I break out the toys for interactive play (feathers, lasers, crinkly things—you name it), or just offer a cozy lap and company for window watching. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and engaged while you're away.

Trusted Care for Cats & Dogs

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for all kinds of pets over the years. Friends, family, and even coworkers have counted on me to look after their animals when they’re away, and it’s something I genuinely love doing. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, bathing, or just spending time with them, I always make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m comfortable with basic training for cats and dogs, and I’ve given medications in all forms—from pills and liquids to ear and eye drops. Every pet is different, and I try to treat each one like they’re my own.

Summer was wonderful! We received a daily update and lots of pictures. We felt that Summer cared for our kitty as if she belonged to her. We highly recommend Summer!

Summer did SO well with our 2 boys. She followed instructions, provided detailed updates and sent lots of photos (she’s a great photographer and made the boys look so photogenic btw!) Highly recommend and would absolutely book her again in the future. 5 stars!
