I have always connected with animals, but it wasn’t until I adopted my dog Chica that I truly understood the special bond between a person and their pet. Living with a dog who experiences separation anxiety changed the way I see pet care. I know how difficult it can feel to leave your dog when you are worried they may feel stressed, lonely, or unsure without you. Because I spend a lot of time at home, I wanted to create a place where dogs can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their families are away. My goal is not just to provide a place for a dog to stay, but to make them feel welcomed, understood, and part of a peaceful home. My dog Chica is an important part of my home environment. She is a small senior female who is very comfortable sharing her space with other animals. She has stayed with many dogs and cats in different homes, as well as welcomed them into ours. When meeting new dogs, she usually either politely sniffs and settles in or simply gives them their own space. Her calm personality helps create a relaxed environment, especially for dogs who prefer a quieter experience. Because Chica is part of my home, I also want to make sure every dog who stays with us is comfortable sharing space with another dog. I welcome dogs who can respect her boundaries and settle into a calm home environment. Before each stay, I like to learn about your dog’s personality, routines, and needs so we can make sure it is a safe and positive experience for everyone. I have experience caring for dogs with different needs, including anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs who need oral medications. I believe every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what helps each dog feel secure and comfortable. I offer one-on-one boarding and daycare in my quiet first-floor apartment, where I only care for one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows me to give each dog my full attention and avoid the stress of a crowded environment. My priority is making sure your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and like they belong. I want them to have companionship, a familiar routine, and someone paying attention to the little things that make them feel at home. I will also send regular photo updates so you can stay connected and feel reassured while you are away. Before booking, I always like to make sure each dog’s personality and needs are a good match for my home environment. If you feel it would help, I am happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so your dog can become familiar with me, Chica, and the space before their stay.
