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 spent time with Socks by playing with his favorite fishing pole and got to brush and pet him. I would use summer again and recommend her to others

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Summer has been absolutely incredible taking care of my cat while I’m away. She consistently goes above and beyond—making sure everything is handled, sending updates, and giving me total peace of mind when I’m traveling. It’s not just the basics with her—you can tell she genuinely cares and treats my cat like her own. I never have to worry when Summer is checking in, which is huge for me. Couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy, Summer is the best.

Summer was very attentive to our pets needs and did very well getting them to come out to play and eat for her. We are very impressed! We will be using her again for upcoming trips as will our family.
