I work from home so I am here 24/7. Pets get to go outside quite regularly and my yard has a small natural grass area, as well as a patio. There is a pool and I do allow my dogs to go (supervised of course). I live close to three parks, each with LOTS of grass and green space. Dogs can get walked in one of those parks if they like the feel of grass under there feet or just want to explore the smells and sights (on a lead). I am also available to do home visits or check-ins on your pet throughout the day. There really is no limitation on the times I can visit. I kindly request that all dogs boarded at my home be crated at night. This practice helps prevent any damage to furniture or accidents in the house while I am asleep. If you do not have a crate, I am happy to offer rentals at a nominal fee: - $5 per night for stays of fewer than 4 nights - $4 per night for stays of 5 to 9 nights - A flat fee of $40 for stays of 10 days or longer. Additionally, I can occasionally accommodate boarding requests with less than 24 hours' notice, although a one-time fee of $20 will apply in those cases. Please note that other services booked within 24 hours may incur a fee of $5 to $10. Thank you for your understanding!

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet and each situation is different so I adjust to what is needed for your pet. If your pet requires walks and interaction, that's what I will do. If your pet is low-key and just needs someone to come in and refresh food and water and talk to him/her, that's what I'll do. I can take of pets in my home, or your home - your preference based on schedule and cost. I'll work with you.

Information Timothy C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements in advance. Information is important to share and that helps me do the best job possible for your pet

A typical day

I work from home and my workspace oversees a bay windows looking out at the backyard and pool. Because Im close to the back door, my dogs get let out regularly. In hotter months (JUN-SEPT), we'll go on a morning or evening walk to the park when the temperature is manageable. In winter months, Im much more active and will do two walks a day, and sometimes three. I usually wake around 7-ish. Go to bed 10-11 PM. I am active with a sport so Im out of the house one evening per week for four hours.

Animal Sheltering Executive

Pet care experience

I am an animal sheltering executive with over 25 years of experience with animal care and handling. I run two successful animal sheltering consulting firms and work from home so I am here 24/7 to take care of your pets. (I have two dogs that are both very social and friendly, as well as a rabbit who has his own secure cage and environment). I grew up with dogs in my house and have had dogs, cats and rabbits, so I consider my level of knowledge, care and handling to be very high.
