“We will definitely be booking with Robert again! He watched our 8 month German Sheppard puppy and two cats. Our German Sheppard can be a lot to handle but Robert did a great job with her. He would send videos of him loving on her and she looked very comfortable and happy. He sent lots of pictures of my cats and often had very funny things to say. Communication was excellent! He even took care of things around the house, we 100% recommend Robert!!”
“Ariel was awesome. It was nice knowing that they were in good hands. I was really happy that she was comfortable with taking care of my epileptic dog. The communication was great. I’ll definitely book with Ariel again.”
About: I grew up with large breed dogs, and I’ve been training dogs of all ages and breeds ever since I was fourteen! I’ve been training dogs professionally for over three years, but I’ve done training for neighbors, family, and friends for years before that. I have a part time teaching job, so my schedule is almost completely open! Whatever you need me for, I’m willing to help out with. When sitting, I’ll ask for a brief timeline of your day to day with your pet so that their schedule isn’t interrupted more than it needs to be.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and my experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need extra patience and love. I’m comfortable with giving meds, sticking to special routines, and making every pet feel safe and happy. I treat your fur baby like family! Pet care is part of my daily life, I plan my schedule around giving pets the time, attention, and love they deserve. I make sure every walk, feeding, and cuddle fits smoothly into my day so your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. Your fur baby is my priority! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow your pet’s routine exactly, from feeding to walks and meds. In your home, I respect your space like it’s my own, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I give plenty of love, playtime, and updates so you know your fur baby is happy and safe!
About: I grew up with dogs of my own and in more recent years have accumulated a few cats as well. I have had some experience working in an animal hospital and have been trusted by family and friends to care for their pets for years. I have a very caring and gentle approach, but can care for pets of all sizes. I have cared for seniors and have been known to spoil pets rotten. Pet care is my sole focus and at this time my schedule is very open. I am available any time and day of the week. Personally, I view animals more as my equal and friend rather than pets. I strive to understand and respect their boundaries and let them be their natural selves rather than expecting them to act as a human. I let my animals see me as their friend who simply shares a home with mutual respect for each other. However, I am very good at following instructions and upholding any rules that any pet owners may have for their homes.
