Pet care is the heart of my daily routine! I’ve built my schedule around making sure every pet in my care gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks to start the day, midday drop-ins for play and potty breaks, or cozy overnight stays, I’m fully committed to keeping tails wagging and whiskers twitching. I limit the number of pets I care for at one time to ensure personalized attention and a stress-free environment. My days are structured but flexible so your pet’s needs always come first.

About Rosemary A.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine.

Information Rosemary A. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has special needs ahead of time . I am familiar with working with senior dogs but not good with medication administration unless it's with food.
A typical day
When I care for pets, fun is always part of the plan. I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality, whether that means long, sniff-filled walks for curious pups, playful games of fetch in the yard, or quiet cuddle time for pets who just want companionship. I make sure every pet gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and relaxed. For boarding stays, I create a home away from home experience with plenty of attention, affection, and downtime. For drop-ins and walks, I bring positive energy and a calm presence, making each visit something your pet looks forward to. My goal is to make every moment enjoyable, so your pet feels loved, safe, and entertained while you're away.

Meow-some care while you’re away
Cat care experience
Cats hold a special place in my heart, and I understand that caring for them requires patience, intuition, and attention to detail. I’ve worked with cats of all ages, from playful kittens to wise seniors, and I know how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and earn their trust. I’m experienced in administering oral medications, managing special diets, and keeping a close eye on subtle changes in behavior that might signal discomfort or stress. I also take pride in the not so glamorous parts of cat care, like deep-cleaning litter boxes and keeping feeding areas spotless. I know how important a clean, calm environment is for feline well-being, and I make sure every detail is handled with care. Whether your cat is social and cuddly or prefers quiet companionship, I adapt my approach to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved.
Reviews
As always, Rosemary is responsible, professional and compassionate!
Rosemary was incredibly easy to work with to schedule our meet and greet and travel dates. Our dogs and cats immediately took to her. Rosemary sent many pictures while we were away. All of our pets were happy and well cared for while we were away.
Rosemary A. was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our beloved cat and our home! She sent lots of pictures (which we loved!) and it was clear from the pictures that our cat was very comfortable and happy around her from Day One. Our cat is on a special diet, and Rosemary was most conscientious in adhering to the feeding plan. And not only is she professional and highly competent, she is a warm and delightful person. We will definitely hire Rosemary A. again. Thank you, Rosemary!
We were able to take a quick trip with full confidence that Rosemary would love and care for our dogs and cat. She was responsive and proactively sent updates—which we LOVED. Returned home to a clean house and happy pets.
