We had a great experience with Yaphet! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and he was very flexible with our schedule. Our dogs loved him, and it was clear they were well cared for while we were away. He left our home clean and well taken care of, and we will definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!

Yaphet knocked it out of the park. Our elderly dog needs a lot of love and attention and Yaphet really took on the challenge. He sent updates daily and asked questions rather than just trying to figure it out himself. We would absolutely book Yaphet again.

Yaphet was incredible. Our 12 year old dog Bree is not easy to work with to begin with and we had just moved so she was extra on edge. He handled her well, gave her the dailies she needed + exercise and was great with our cat Tuft as well at the same time. He was communicative, took photos and updated us as needed. Highly recommend!

Yaphet was lovely to work with. He really took great care of our fur babies and even watered my plants for me while we were gone. We came home to a neat and tidy home and happy pets.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am on summer break so my schedule will be open when I am in town. Can walk dogs at their scheduled times or stop by to feed or let them out when needed.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for pets in my client’s homes by making sure I accommodate to the needs of each individual pet and sending you updates and pictures of your pets so that you know they are in good hands.

Pets

A typical day

I’ll take them walking, play fetch with them, play tug of war with a rope toy, just let them have as much fun as they want and get their energy out when they are outside so that they are calm when we get inside. Then I’ll give them water and a treat ( or their food if it is time for their meal) and hangout with the pets and give them some scratches.

Let me know if your dog has any specific needs or behaviors I can account for. I would want to know everything that I can so that I can take the best care of your little fella.
