Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Hunter, owner of Your Pet Au Pair, a small, home-based pet care business right here in Inverness. 🐾

If you’re looking for a pet sitter who treats your animals like individuals rather than just another booking on the calendar, I might be your guy.

I provide home-based dog daycare and boarding, along with drop-in visits for dogs, cats, birds, and other pets. Because I’m a one-person operation, I intentionally keep things low-volume and small-scale. That means limited availability, but it also means your pet actually gets to know the person caring for them. ❤️

A little about me:

🐾 10 years of experience working in animal rescue

🐾 6 years providing home-based pet care

🐾 3 years of experience in commercial boarding

🐾 Actively work with rescues throughout the country

🐾 Insured

🐾 Low-volume, personalized care

🐾 Experienced with senior dogs, special needs, nervous dogs, and reactive dogs

And yes — I absolutely accept reactive dogs. In fact, they’re some of my favorite dogs to work with.

I’m also going to be completely honest with you. I’m a pretty blunt person, and I believe pet parents deserve someone who will tell them the truth about what their dog needs to be successful.

I’m not here to coddle your dog or tell you what you want to hear just to get a booking.

I believe dogs should be allowed to be dogs — to sniff, explore, play, decompress, and have fun — while still having structure, boundaries, and, most importantly, safety.

My goal isn’t simply to “watch your dog.” It’s to understand your dog. Their personality, their quirks, their comfort level, their triggers, and what makes them feel safe.

Whether you have the social butterfly who thinks everyone is their best friend, the senior who would prefer a quiet afternoon on the couch, the anxious rescue who needs someone to go at their pace, or the reactive dog who gets overlooked by traditional boarding facilities — there’s a place for them here. 🐶❤️

If you’re local to Inverness/Citrus County and looking for something a little different from the typical kennel or high-volume daycare environment, I’d love to meet you and your pets.
