“Stacey gave wonderful care to my dog Sally. She kept me informed on what Sally was doing, and sent multiple pictures each day. Some videos were also sent. I could tell that Sally was happy and content in her home from the pictures and videos. Stacey gave Sally special treats per my instructions, and sent home her food/water dishes and treat dispensers all washed ! She and her family gave Sally a lot of love and attention, which was much appreciated by both Sally and myself.”

“I needed a last minute boarding for my dog on Memorial Day Weekend. I had never used Rover previously but a friend recommended it. At first, I was a little nervous leaving my dog with strangers but didn’t have many other options. I brought my dog to Matthew and Christie’s house to meet them and their dog a day or two prior and was immediately relieved. They have a very pet friendly set up, fenced in yard, and our dogs immediately became friends. While I was out of town, they sent me updates and pictures, responded to all my messages immediately, and made me comfortable knowing my dog was in excellent hands. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone who needs a doggy sitter!”

Ben S.

“Maypud was absolutely phenomenal. I have a 1year old puppy and she made him feel so comfortable and safe. I would bring my baby boy to here all the time now!! 100% recommend!”

Elijah C.

“Eden and Gal are a great team providing excellent care and attention to my pup’s needs. This was a first time with them and my pup developed allergy symptoms which they reported to me, followed my directions, took her to her vet, and administered the prescription. In addition the affection and tummy rubs were excellent. Pictures each day showed me how happy and safe my pup was during her nearly week long stay. They even gave me Abbey’s report card listing activities feeding sleeping etc. Great job ladies!”

Ann C.

“Irina was fabulous!! This was only the third time we've ever left Smitty and the first time he wasn't with family. With her amazing attitude and attention, he thrived! Smitty had a great time with Irina and their dog, and we knew he would from the moment we dropped him off. We were nervous to leave him, but it was so clear he was in good times. Next time we're traveling without our pup, we'll definitely bring him back to Irina's!”

Tonya N.

“As a first time user, she was communicative, friendly, and dissuaded any worries I had about the whole process. I learned more about my dog by how she interacted with others when I wasn't around, and have considered this a very valuable experience for both of us!”

Vensey N.

“Responds promptly to messages. She seemed caring. Sent pictures when asked. My dog looked happy and was calm when I picked her up.”

About: When it comes to pet care, my unique approach and skill set truly set me apart from other sitters. I specialize in both ends of the pet age spectrum – training puppies and providing senior care. My experience and patience with puppies help them learn basic commands and house training efficiently, ensuring a strong foundation for their future. For senior pets, I offer gentle care, understanding their unique needs such as managing medications, providing comfortable mobility, and ensuring they receive gentle, loving attention. Additionally, I have a keen sense of understanding and adapting to each pet's individual personality and needs. This personalized approach ensures that every pet under my care feels comfortable, safe, and happy. My ability to connect and communicate effectively with pets has been a key factor in creating lasting bonds and providing a reassuring presence for them. Furthermore, I keep myself updated with the latest pet care techniques and knowledge, which enables me to offer the best care possible. My commitment to ongoing learning and improvement in pet care techniques ensures that your pet receives not just love and attention but also the most informed and modern care available. In summary, my special skills in training puppies, caring for senior pets, and a personalized approach to each pet's needs make me a standout choice for any pet parent looking for quality and compassionate pet care. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is thoughtfully structured to balance pet care duties with other commitments, allowing me to provide dedicated time and focus to each pet. Daily Routine: Mornings are reserved for active play and exercise. This includes walks or playtime, catering to the pet's energy levels and needs. Midday is often a quieter time, ideal for feeding and some rest. This is also when I check in on pets for any midday care or walks, especially for puppies or senior pets with specific needs. Afternoons involve more interactive activities, such as training sessions for puppies or gentle playtime for older pets. Evenings are for winding down. This includes a final walk, dinner, and settling in for the night, ensuring pets are comfortable and ready for a good night’s sleep. Weekly Routine: Regular Communication: I set aside time each week to communicate with pet owners, providing updates and feedback. Continued Education: I dedicate a few hours each week to learning more about pet care, staying updated on best practices. Flexibility for Special Needs: My weekly schedule is flexible to accommodate any specific requirements, like vet appointments or extra attention for pets with special needs. This structured yet adaptable approach allows me to provide high-quality care while also attending to the unique needs of each pet, ensuring they have a routine that feels secure and familiar. Ensuring safety, building trust, and providing a comfortable environment are the cornerstones of my approach to pet care, whether in my home or the client's home. Here's how I address each aspect: In My Home: Safe Environment: My home is meticulously pet-proofed. I ensure that there are no small objects that could be swallowed, secure all trash cans, and keep all harmful substances out of reach. The yard is fenced and secure for outdoor play. Comfortable Space: Pets have access to comfortable resting areas, toys, and their own space to feel secure. I ensure the environment is calm and stress-free. Routine and Familiarity: I maintain a routine similar to what pets are used to at their home, which helps in reducing anxiety and building trust. In Client's Home: Respect for Space: I am extremely respectful of the client's space and privacy. I ensure to use only designated areas and handle only pet-related items. Adhering to Established Routines: Keeping to the pet’s usual routine is crucial for their comfort. I follow their regular feeding, walking, and playtime schedules as closely as possible. Safety Checks: Regular checks are made to ensure the home remains secure and safe for the pet, including checking locks, gates, and potential hazards. General Practices: Emergency Preparedness: I am trained in pet first aid and keep an emergency kit ready. I am familiar with the nearest vet clinics and emergency contacts. Building Trust: Spending quality time with the pets, understanding their likes and dislikes, and gentle, consistent handling help in building trust. Communication: Regular updates to pet owners with photos and messages help in maintaining transparency and building a trusting relationship. Whether in my home or the client's, my focus is on creating a safe, nurturing, and trustworthy environment for the pets I care for. This approach ensures that both the pets and their owners feel secure and reassured about the quality of care being provided.
