About: I owned a dog when I was younger who was very timid and shy. I have dog sat for friends and family for up to 3 dogs at a time. I also currently work part time at a dog daycare, caring for around 80-90 dogs at a time. Since I work part time, do have about half the week completely free but I do not have a set schedule. Any days that I am working however, I am gone for a max of 8hrs, leaving at 5:00am at the earliest and returning at 7:30pm at the latest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and happiness. Here's how I ensure top-notch care: Following Their Routine: I do my best to stick to your pet's usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel at ease. Providing Companionship: Whether it’s playing, snuggling, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away. Maintaining a Clean Environment: I clean up after your pet, refresh their water, and ensure their space stays tidy and comfortable. Safety First: I keep a close eye on your pet, ensuring they’re safe and healthy, and I’m prepared to handle emergencies if they arise. Respecting Your Home: I treat your home with the utmost care and professionalism, leaving it just as I found it. My goal is to provide your pet with the same love and attention they receive from you, ensuring they feel happy and stress-free in their familiar environment. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of the family! Here’s how I ensure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy: Comfortable Space: I provide a cozy, pet-friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and play. Pets are welcome to lounge where they feel most comfortable, whether that’s a comfy bed, a sunny spot, or even on the couch. Personalized Care: I stick to your pet’s regular routine for meals, walks, playtime, and rest, ensuring they feel right at home. Plenty of Love and Attention: Whether it’s cuddles, belly rubs, or interactive play, I’m always there to give them the affection they need. Outdoor Fun: I have a secure yard for safe outdoor play or enjoy taking them for walks in the neighborhood or nearby parks. Safety First: I keep a close eye on your pet and ensure their safety at all times. My home is set up to be pet-safe, and I’m prepared to handle emergencies if needed. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I aim to make my home a welcoming and stress-free space where they’ll feel loved and cared for until you return.

“Deborah is fantastic! She’s communicative and seems to really care about my cats when she’s there. She’s gone above and beyond more than once, and it’s a huge relief to know that my cats are in such good hands. I could not be happier — thank you for the peace of mind!”

“Makenzie was great! She was eager to help and very responsive via the chat. I booked her several weeks before I needed her to come help out and made the time to meet in person right away.

During her visits with my pups she was detailed with notes and sent tons of photos. I would definitely book with her again!”

2. Grace L.
“I recently hired Grace to take care of my three dogs, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Grace was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to my dogs’ individual needs. They all have a lot of energy, and one requires daily medication. Grace handled each of their personalities and needs with patience and care. They kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I returned, my dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. The house was also left spotless, which was an added bonus! I’m so grateful for the love and dedication Grace showed to my pets.”
