Pet care experience

A loving home with walks

I’ve grown up around dogs and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. Our family shares our home with Kay, our friendly 40-pound Australian Shepherd and Cocker Spaniel mix. She is playful, social, and enjoys having other dogs around. Dogs in our care become part of our daily routine! We enjoy regular walks, trips to the park, and plenty of playtime. We typically take several walks throughout the day, including a morning walk, a longer afternoon outing, and an evening walk. We live in a dog-friendly building complex with access to a dog park, and we also have a spacious unfenced patio where dogs can relax and enjoy fresh air while supervised. We understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to make your pup feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We’d love to meet your dog and welcome them into our family!

Schedule

our routine is very dog friendly and consistent. We take our dog for 3-4 walk a day and would follow the same routine with your dog. Dogs are staying with us will be fed twice a day according to their usual schedule and will sleep in their own beds at night. On weekends we enjoy taking longer walks of up to an hour and go to our dog park at the community.
