About: Your Pets are Part of My Family! With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, from frolicking puppies to dignified seniors, I've devoted my life to ensuring the health, happiness, and safety of pets. Neighbors, friends, and family have consistently relied on my expertise to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving companionship for their furry loved ones. My unique skill set includes puppy training, senior care, and a special knack for easing anxious pets. With me, your pet isn't just another job - they're part of my family! Pet care is more than just a routine for me, it's a lifestyle. My day begins with a morning walk, setting a peaceful tone for both me and the pets in my care. Throughout the day, scheduled feedings, play times, and additional walks or outings are neatly integrated into my other daily activities, ensuring that no pet feels neglected or under-stimulated. I balance my personal commitments in a way that always allows ample time for the pets under my supervision. Weekly routines involve deeper engagements like grooming sessions, visits to the park, or more extensive exercises for pets that require it. Weekends often feature special activities, like hiking or beach visits, bringing a sense of adventure and extra enjoyment for the pets. In essence, pet care has become an inseparable aspect of my life's rhythm, creating a harmonious blend of responsibility, commitment, and above all, the immense joy of bonding with animals Whether in my home or my client's, I uphold the highest standards of care and attention for every pet under my supervision. For pets visiting my home, I ensure their comfort and safety first. I maintain a clean, pet-proof space, with various designated areas for eating, playing, and resting. Playtime and walks are plentiful, and I respect the dietary routines and restrictions provided by pet owners. I make sure each pet receives one-on-one attention, keeping a keen eye on their mood and health. In a client's home, I respect the pet's routine and the owner's space. I follow instructions for feeding, walking, and medications precisely, ensuring pets feel secure in their familiar environment. Extra services like bringing in mail or watering plants can also be arranged. I prioritize cleanliness and leave the home exactly as I found it. For both cases, I stay in frequent communication with the pet owners, providing updates and cute photos to keep them connected with their furry friends. The well-being and happiness of pets and their owners are my top priority


11. James H.

“James took excellent care of our 6 year old Maltipoo.”


12. Shawn P.
“Shawn is not just a wonderful Housesitter, but a lovely and caring person and great company as well! While we were on a Thanksgiving trip , he took wonderful care again of our house and our dog Luna! As usual Shawn provided us with regular info and updates about all important issues, while we were away which gave us a true „peace-of-mind“ during our trip! On top of everything he cooked a great dinner again for us upon our return home, when we found our house meticulously clean as well! As Shawn has been sitting for us a couple of times already, we would be very happy if he would be available again for any of our future sitting needs and can highly recommend him !”




13. Betty & Bob G.


“Betty and Bob took amazing care of our Callie!!! She has never been boarded or had care other than our family. We were gone for 5 days. B&B came in 4x a day, sent pictures and gave us summary of each visit. Pics were a great comfort ❤️ and we now have great trust and confidence in Betty and Bob and highly recommend the them in the future!”




14. Sierra B.

“You will not find a better Rover than Sierra. Her communication skills are top notch and she tired out our 1 year old golden retriever more than we even can. 10/10 would highly recommend!!”


15. Kimberly M.

“Wonderful communication. Kim reached out to me every day to let me know how the babies were doing (with pictures). We came home to a happy group who kind of didn't look like they really missed us!”


16. Michael H.

“Thank you for taking such good care of our Duke!”


17. Mike S.

“Mike was the perfect sitter for my high energy dog; they went on long walks and she was immediately at ease with him which was a comfort going out of town. When we came home you could tell she was not stressed or noticed that we had even left. I recommend you book Mike for your next pet sitting needs!”
