Pet care experience

Your Best Friend’s 2nd Best Friend

I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even a few exotic pets for years. I also volunteered at a local animal shelter, so I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Some dogs want to play nonstop, some would rather nap next to someone, and others just want a long walk and plenty of sniff breaks. Tell me what makes your pet happy, and I’ll stick to their routine. • 30 Minute Dog Walks include walks around your neighborhood or a nearby trail so your dog can get exercise, sniff around, and burn off some energy during the day. • 30 Minute Drop Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of attention to help your pet stay comfortable while you’re away. • My Basic House Sitting service includes overnight stays so your pet can stick to their normal routine at home. I also provide daytime care every 5 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and company.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I try to make every pet feel as comfortable as possible by following their normal routine. Every pet is different, so I’ll match their energy and personality. If they love to play, we’ll play. If they prefer to relax, I’m happy to hang out with them instead. I’ll always respect your home’s rules, keep a close eye on your pet, and send regular photo updates so you know they’re doing well. ◡̈

We had a great experience! He took such good care of our dog and sent us lots of photos and updates, which we really appreciated. You can tell he genuinely loves dogs and takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. He followed all of our instructions, and our dog absolutely loved him! He was also incredibly thoughtful and even left us a sweet gift. We would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him!

Tony was very responsive and accommodating to my schedule. He was able to step in and help walk Demi with a short notice request. He communicated well and kept me up to date. Will definitely reach out in the future if needed!
