About: Peace of mind is priceless; I’m here to provide it for you and your pet. My beloved boys passed away a few years ago; it gives me great joy to care for your dogs while you are away. As a dog owner with 30 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, I understand how important it is to create a loving, safe space while you're away. Previously, I owned and managed a horse boarding facility in Goshen for 15+ years, where I cared for up to 20 horses alongside countless dogs and cats. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide dedicated, attentive care for your pet. Whether it’s snuggles, treats, or frequent walks and potty breaks, your furry friend will be well-loved and cared for as if they were my own. I’ve even been called a “dog whisperer” by some! I know how much your pet can miss you while you’re gone, and I’ll go above and beyond to keep them happy, healthy, and comforted. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and flexible—ready to accommodate any special requests, from frequent updates to ensuring your little buddy follows their usual routine. Having used Rover myself, I understand how important peace of mind is. Rest assured, I’ll treat your family member with the utmost care and follow all your instructions to the letter. Your pet is welcome on the furniture, on adventures, and in my heart. Thank you for trusting me with your beloved family member! 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive care for your pet throughout the day. From morning walks and playtime to mid-day snuggles and evening potty breaks, I can easily integrate your pet's needs into my routine. I ensure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention while keeping their schedule consistent and comforting. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I live in a quite, safe neighborhood where your pet will be able to have plenty on potty breaks and outside time for walks. I do work full time, however I’m able to come home on my lunch hour for a potty break for your pet.
