The best friend of your best friend

About Me: ​I have shared my life with animals since I was a child, and they are truly my greatest passion. Currently, I am the proud owner of a high-energy Husky, so I know exactly what it means to manage a dog with endless stamina and a strong personality! Growing up with pets has taught me to read their body language and respect their unique characters. Whether your dog is a "couch potato" or a tireless explorer, they will find a patient and energetic companion in me. ​ My Home & Environment (For Boarding): ​I offer a safe and fun environment for your pets. I have a fully fenced garden where they can play freely and securely. We are also located right next to a beautiful, calm river trail, perfect for long, peaceful walks away from the city noise. It’s a true paradise for dogs who love sniffing around and enjoying nature! ​ Services & Skills: ​I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, and I’m not intimidated by strength or size. My experience includes: ​High-Energy Management: I understand the need for both physical exercise and mental stimulation. ​Medication Administration: If your pet has a specific medical routine, I can safely administer oral medications. ​Home Visits & Walks: I am available for drop-in visits and walks, ensuring your dog gets the attention and exercise they need while you are away. ​ My Promise to You: ​I know how hard it is to leave your furry family member behind. That’s why I prioritize constant communication. You will receive regular updates and plenty of photos throughout the day, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are happy, safe, and well-cared for.

Boarding • feb 22, 2026

Alessandro and Audrey are animal whisperers. My 1 year old Sophie stayed for 4 weeks. I would give 10 stars if I could. Their love for animals is why they offer help. Sophie wasnt as socialized as she should have been and not only did they welcome her, embrace her, but they taught her along the way. Milo is a beautiful, sweet boy and immediately protected my girl. Our animals are our family and mine was welcomed with big hearts and a love as though I had never left. Please look no further. If you read this, know your mind will be a peace while you are away. Truly.

Schedule

​My current work schedule is highly flexible, which allows me to prioritize your dog’s needs during the week. I can easily adapt my hours to maintain your pet's specific routine, whether that means mid-day walks, specific feeding times, or just providing some extra companionship. ​During the weekends, I am available full-time. This means I am dedicated to your dog 24/7, ensuring their exercise, potty, and play schedules are strictly followed without any interruptions. ​Because I work with a flexible schedule, your furry friend will rarely be left alone, and I can provide the consistent supervision and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my absolute priority. My home features a large, fully fenced garden where your dog can run and play in total security. I never leave guest dogs unsupervised in the yard, and I personally ensure all gates are double-checked and locked at all times. ​ Safe Multi-Pet Management (Cats & Dogs) I am a cat owner myself (I have two!), so I am very experienced in managing household dynamics. For the safety and comfort of everyone, I keep my cats completely separate from guest dogs. My home is organized into distinct zones, ensuring your dog has their own space to relax without any feline distractions or stress. This makes my home a great fit even for dogs that are not "cat-friendly." ​ Walks Living with a high-energy Husky has made me very skilled at handling strong dogs on a leash. During our walks along the calm river trail nearby, I am always vigilant and attentive to the surroundings. I am experienced in managing dogs that might get excited by wildlife or other pets, maintaining firm but gentle control to ensure a peaceful outing. ​Health and Emergencies ​Medication: I am experienced in administering oral medications and following strict medical schedules. ​Pet-Proofed Space: My home is fully pet-proofed to prevent any accidents. ​Emergency Ready: I keep the contact details of the nearest 24/7 emergency vet readily available. ​Meet & Greet: I always encourage a preliminary meeting to ensure your dog feels happy and comfortable in my environment before the stay begins.
