About: I am a stay at home mom who is home most of the day to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I have been caring for animals my entire life. I have cared for cats and a wide range of dog breeds from a dachund up to a black lab and golden retriever with diverse needs. I have had animals with seperation anxiety, eye ointments, and daily medications and my background as a registered nurse allows for comfort with injectable medications and other specialty treatments. I am a stay at home mom to two kids and with the exception of a quick trip to the grocery store or my kids hockey practice we are typically home all day. I can easily accommodate any needs that your pet may have and they won't be left alone for extended periods of time. I have a fully fenced in backyard that the dogs have free range to run and play. I have two dogs. Teddy, our black lab is more of a senior dog who enjoys laying in the sun where as Winnie, our yellow mix enjoys running and playing with any new friend she can find. I have the ability to section off different areas of our home to give pets the feeling of space safety that they may need. I live on a quiet street next to a park that is perfect for taking walks.
About: I bring 30 years of dog ownership experience, offering energetic, attentive, and reliable care. Your pet will receive patience, affection, and personalized attention every visit. Pet care fits into my life with ease and joy. I work part-time, which allows me the flexibility to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing in the yard, or offering quiet companionship, I enjoy creating a calm and happy environment for every animal I care for. Pets have always been part of my daily routine, and spending time with them truly brightens my day. I’m respectful and mindful when caring for pets in their home, knowing it’s their safe space. I follow all instructions closely to maintain their routine, comfort, and happiness. I make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. I also keep the home tidy and communicate regularly with updates so you feel confident and at ease while you're apart.
About: My very first job was working with dogs. I’ve always had a passion for the fur babies! I have a 4 year old pit bull who absolutely loves making new pup friends and a 11 year old daughter who adores all animals! I work Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm but make sure your fur baby is tended to before and after work just as I do my own :) I have a fenced in yard which helps make sure they have lots of space for running around. During the daytime hours while I’m away, the dogs are kept safe in separated areas of the house but are always left with a comfy bed, food and toys. The dogs have free roam of the house during the day and are either kenneled (if crate trained) or separated when not being watched directly. Dogs are let out in the fenced in yard multiple times a day and are given tons of attention :)

“We needed to find a sitter for drop-ins at the last minute, and had to go by reviews…and thankfully Adam was just as we hoped! He was super responsive, punctual, and sent photos that put us at ease. Our dogs can be wary of new people and we could see that he was comfortable handling the challenge, and that he was patient in earning their trust. Would definitely use again and recommend to others!”
