Giving your furbaby the best TLC

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Thi and I have always had an absolute adoration for dogs! I’ve been a dog momma for a little over 25 years now (since I was a young child). I grew up being surrounded by dogs and have experience working with different breeds of all sizes. My partner and I currently have a sweet 12 year old German Shepard Chow Chow, Sophie — you probably thought was still a puppy if you met her. She loves playing with small dogs but enjoys sleeping most of the time. Oh - and eating of course!

Thi was great at taking care of our dog! She was communicative and always sent us pics of our pup throughout the day. Thank you so much for your help!

Highly recommend! Like every dog mom I’m paranoid leaving my pup but I didn’t even worry when he was with Thi and Richard! They sent amazing pictures and plenty of updates through the whole time. We will be using again!!

Thi and Richard were amazing. I needed my friend to drop off and pick up my pup for me and they were very accommodating. Thi made sure to get all the necessary information about my dog beforehand and we had meet&greet with their dog Sophie. They kept me updated during Buddy's stay and sent really cute pics. I am very happy for choosing them as my dog sitter and would love to book them for future stays. I def recommend Thi and Richard anyone who needs a dog sitter:))

I WFH which allows me to have the flexibility to provide care and play with my own pet, as well as yours. I am home most of the time during the week. On weekends, I may be out for 3-4 hours at a time but will make sure that your pet is well taken care of before heading out (potty time, going for some hearty walks, being fed, etc). I also have an indoor camera where I check in often to make sure everything is A-OK.

A typical day

I love playing hide and seek and tug-and-pull with toys when we are indoors. I'm open to engaging in any other indoors activities that your pet loves. For outdoors, I like taking dogs out for a walk around my complex. . There's a lot of open space and a peaceful grassy area where we can relax and catch some fresh air. I also like taking them out for walks in nearby public parks.
