Safety, trust & environment

I provide loving care in the form of house and pet-sitting, dog walking, feeding, medications, play time, snuggling, and more. I am a highly attuned individual, so I will learn your pet’s needs and meet them where they are at. I work comfortably with pets with boundaries, aggression, skittishness, and other high needs. As a house and pet-sitter, I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I respect your property and make your pet’s safety the highest priority. I will follow your guidelines to the letter and I’m happy to send you pictures to help your mind be at ease.

Information Timothy P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has any special needs ahead of time so that I can attend to them in the ways they need.

A typical day

Dogs: I can take your dog to their favorite park, or to my favorite: Point Isobel. I will give them exercise running, playing fetch, and more. I love to practice their tricks with them. Cats: I will play with their favorite toys, giving them exercise how they want it. I will provide careful attuned touch if they like that and make sure they are safe and fed.

Reliable and responsive care

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have seen pets through life from young to elderly, providing medications and cleaning up countless messes. Nothing will surprise me. I attune to pet personalities well: I love snuggling with the snuggly ones, take care around skittish ones, and everything in between. I am punctual and respectful of your time and space.

Timothy took such wonderful care of our cats! This was our longest trip away from them and Timothy spent quality time with them, sent amazing pictures and videos and was a generously attentive caregiver. We will definitely be seeking their services in the future.

Tim is amazing! Would rebook him anytime. Super detailed about care and directions, great updates and just overall made me feel at ease about leaving Louie, who has some senior special needs, in his care. It’s hard to find people that are as kind and thoughtful about your pet and home, but Tim is that person. Thank you so much.
