Luxury Pet Care for the Discerning Homeowner.
Nurturing your home and animals with love, care, and grounded presence.
Our story.
Our love of animals goes way back.
As Life Coaches for humans we’re compassionate, intuitive, and sensitive to our clients’ needs. We bring those same qualities to the animals and homes that we care for. We both love spending time outside, and taking our furry friends on walks with us. As experienced homeowners, we’ll take care of your home as if it is our own. We believe in leaving places better than we find them in whatever small ways that we can.
Shaun has never lived without pets except for this current Season of life, then in came pet sitting! She grew up with a Cairn Terrier. As an adult she had a Boxer, a Bull Mastiff, and most recently a Chihuahua named Mojo and a Great Dane named Miso. They both crossed the rainbow bridge in 2021 (at the ages of 21 and 13), and she’s been caring for other people’s pets and homes ever since. Dejan grew up with cats as a child and as an adult has cared for many friends' dogs.
We love all animals, and believe they’re doing important work on the planet for the humans in their lives. We have experience caring for multiple pets, Seniors who need a little bonus tlc (medications, extra trips to go potty etc), we’re fine with that. Dejan was recently the #1 buddy for a sweet dog we were watching which unfortunately ended up becoming a hospice care situation. We were honored to spend time with this precious pup in his final weeks.
What sets us apart?
Exercise.
We’re both very active people. Dejan enjoys running, cycling, and hiking, Shaun loves to walk/hike, dance, and kayak. This translates into your pups getting the exact amount of exercise that they need. We always love to have a furry companion come along. Whether your pup prefers walks through the neighborhood, socializing at a dog park, or an off-leash hike it's our goal to keep their routine as similiar to what it usually is as possible.
Medications.
We’re experienced in administering medication, and supporting Senior dogs in the unique ways that they may need. This often includes extra trips to go potty, a slower pace walking where the dog leads, and bonus snuggle time.
Regular Communication.
Taking photos is a fun byproduct of our job! We capture some incredible moments and are happy to share them. Whatever your preference is - whether that’s more photos and text updates, or less, we’re happy to do what works for you.
Home Projects.
Part of our unique offerings is that Dejan’s built a successful following as a 5-star handyman, who’s also done simple remodel/redesign projects. Shaun used to repurpose furniture and loves to paint and wallpaper. If you have a small room or space that needs an uplift, why not get it done while you’re gone and while we’re watching the pets? Win-win. Visit Dejan’s Handyman Page for more information.
Pet Photography.
As mentioned we get some pretty great shots of your pets while we’re with them. Of course we’re happy to share those with you, but if you have a specific space that you’d like a beautifully framed picture of your animals, we’d love to capture that for you.
Feel the Love.
Why work with us?
There is currently a shortage of quality pet sitters in the US. We’ve been told that while in the past it was fairly easy to find sitters, it is now becoming harder and harder to secure care that you can trust. The “good ones” are often already booked. We believe (and our testimonies agree) that we’re in the top 1% of pet sitters, always striving to go above and beyond. When you schedule a trip for yourselves, it makes sense to ensure your pets and home receive top notch care. Peace of mind while you’re away is priceless. Do away with the last-minute scramble to find a sitter. A few additional reasons to consider us…
1
Experience
Over 60 years of combined pet care between us.
2
Security
We are bonded and insured for additional peace of mind.
3
Reviews

Love
Love of animals. We carry a calm grounded energy between us, as well as being playful individuals. It’s a great mix for hanging out with your furry family members.
6
Beyond
We offer fun add on bonuses that many homeowners have appreciated (imagine handyman and/or simple remodel projects done while you’re away).

Shaun and Dejan were great sitters! They were friendly, clean, and communicative. They came over early to meet our dogs and go over everything, they sent regular updates, and kept the house super clean. We’re looking forward to welcoming them back in a few weeks!

Shaun and Dejan were some of the best house/pet sitters we've ever had. They were communicative and extremely tidy! They kept our house looking spotless - I wish I could give them 6-Stars for that! They loved-up our dog and were reliable with their timing and checking-in.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Shaun and Dejan. They were incredibly communicative throughout the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. They took amazing care of Choppy and Leo, truly treating them like their own, and kept me updated regularly.

Shaun was an absolutely incredible pet sitter, and we could not be more grateful for the care she provided during our 16-day trip. She took excellent care of our three dogs and our cat, including administering medication to two of our pets with great consistency and care.

Shaun was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Kevin!!! We received daily updates of Kevin on long walks, at the dog park, and even some videos of the new tricks he learned from her. Shaun’s care went above and beyond, and we really appreciated all the time she spent hanging out with Kevin!

Shaun has been my pet sitter for years. I have a high anxiety pit mix that needs daily medication and a spoiled Ragdoll. She handles both pets without issue. She treats them as her own. I trust Shaun as my pet sitter more than family!

Shaun and Dejan are fantastic! Start to finish everything was great with them. They are reliable, easy to get along with, and responsible. Our pets were immediately comfortable with them from the first moments they walked in the door. They asked great questions as I oriented them to our home and to the animals. They sent cute photos every day and gave short narratives of what each pet was up to. Our fur-babies got lots of cuddles! They took Spark on several fun adventures (Lafayette Reservoir, Crown Beach) and loved our pets as if they were their own. Our home was well cared for and our pets were very relaxed when we returned. We highly recommend Shaun and Dejan to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters. We can't wait to have them back!.
