“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING experience!!!! Tara & Peter sent pictures the entire weekend along with updates on our dog. Their fence in back yard was perfect for our energetic husky to get lots of energy out.

About: **Serious Inquiries Only *** With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for working with small dog breeds and puppies. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership. I am dedicated to provide my full attention to your pup throughout their entire stay! If it’s boarding or just a fun day at doggy day camp I can ensure your pup will have a great time! I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .
“Our Havanese enjoyed his time with Anne! She was communicative with drop off/pickup and providing us updates. She bonded with our dog over the weekend he boarded with her. Taking him out for 4 walks, a pupcone at Starbucks and treats/meals we had provided - she was an ideal petsitter. We would definitely use her again if the opportunity comes up.”
“Pam opens her home to our little Harp. We are very happy return customers again and again. Harp is happy and content and always finds a sunny spot to relax at Pam’s. Pam keeps us updated with pictures and messages. I know Harp is happy to visit her and any other pups that are boarding. Pam is very responsive with messages and we are confident you would love her too.”
