“Emma from Lando Health & Wellness Pet Therapy was incredibly compassionate and attentive! She did a drop-in visit for my husky Junior. Junior instantly took a liking to her. Emma not only provided exceptional care for my dog, but also captured delightful moments through her impressive pet photography skills. I highly recommend her as a top-notch pet sitter and will definitely be rebooking!”

“I chose Vanesa because I wanted to have Baxter groomed at home. I'm thrilled with the outcome and how sweet she was with Baxter, who gets very stressed when I leave him at a salon.”

“I am so lucky to have William’s help with my high energy and rambunctious puppy. He is patient, so knowledgeable and communicative. Anyone would be fortunate to work with William.”

“Anna was exceptional, as always!! She goes above and beyond for our two cats (and our house) with her attentiveness and professionalism. Thank you again Anna for a perfect week of drop-ins!!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and understanding of dogs of all ages. I cared for my senior chihuahua for 15 years, giving me hands-on experience with older dogs who need patience and gentle care. I’m now a dog mom to another senior pup and a foster mom to a young pit-lab mix, so I’m comfortable with every personality from calm companions to high energy pups. You can count on me for reliable, loving care and lots of attention to detail. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I make sure to plan my days around the pets I care for so they always get the time and attention they deserve. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always take things at the pet’s pace earning their trust through calm, gentle interactions. I respect both the pet’s boundaries and the owner’s rules to make sure everyone feels comfortable and cared for.
About: With over 4 years of experience, I’ve cared for pets ranging from playful puppies and senior cats to birds, and small mammals. Families, friends, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available on Weekdays, evenings after 6 PM, and completely free on Saturdays and Sundays for pet-sitting, and walks. I provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment where pets feel safe and cared for. I can easily crate your dog if needed and follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable. I treat every pet like family, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care.

I’ve been a cat mom to my own fur baby, Yoshi, for over 10 years and recently adopted a new kitty named Opal! So you know I’m well-read and experienced in all the complexities of kitty care.
