If your dog wants to play, I'm on the floor with them! If your dog loves to just sit and cuddle, we can do that too! I won't take your dog to a dog park in neighborhood if other dogs are in there unless you give permission. I am very very careful to make sure your dog stays safe!

Dogs Best Friend!

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been a part of my life. I truly believe that a dog is man's best friend, and they are just as much a part of any family as we are! I have helped to take care of friends and family members dogs as well.

Whit took such great care of our cat, Purrky! He showered him with so much love, attention, playtime, and treats, and carefully followed all the instructions we left. Whit also kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos from every visit, which we really appreciated. It honestly gave us so much peace of mind knowing Purrky was in such good hands. Highly recommend Whit as a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! ✅

Whit is AMAZING!! He truly went above and beyond for my 2 pups. They require a little extra care when it comes to feeding schedules and even for accommodating my ever changing work schedule, neither of which have been an issue which has been such a blessing. Excellent communication and care for them. My bigger dog is most often hesitant of males but upon meeting him without a prior meet or greet, he loved him and warmed up right away! I couldn’t feel more at ease knowing they’re in his care. Thank you whit!

Whit is fantastic! He’s watched Huck, Jackson and Juno before, and once again he did an awesome job. He stopped by exactly when we agreed, stayed the full time, and spent every visit really playing and engaging with the pups. They were all smiles in the photos he sent — tons of happy faces that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. We’ll definitely keep booking Whit in the future. Highly recommend!
