Just a mama bear at heart!

Pet care experience

Hey! I am a proud mama bear of 2 fur babies and love taking care of doggies. I used to use Wag, so I have tons of experience and attached my reviews and rating in the photos. I mainly focus on boardings, and only work with smaller sized dogs (40 lbs or less). This is because my two dogs are uncomfortable with bigger ones, and I found that a small group of the same sized dogs increases the chances of a smooth boarding for all pups.

Sasha was great! Bear had more fun while he was with her than he does at home LOL! She took the dogs to the dog park every night and treated my baby like her own. She’s very good about sending pics and videos which makes leaving him so much easier - I know he’s in great hands!

Sasha was great! Lots of updates, pictures, videos, walks and a couple of trips to the dog park. Would definitely recommend!!

I have found that having a small group of same sized dogs actually creates a better environment and it ends up being more fun for all of them. This doesn't take away from me learning about your dogs personality, likes and dislikes. Usually all the dogs follow me around when they are not playing outside anyways! I think they look at me as their mama for the time being :)

Information alexandra m. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your puppy has any special needs or request so I can accommodate :) or, let me know about their personality, likes and dislikes ahead of time.

A typical day

I will take the dogs around the lake I have in my community or the canal right down the street. I like to take the dogs out 3 times a day. I like stimulate them mentally by practicing their tricks (stay, lie down, etc.,) and rewarding them with treats and pets. I also love cuddle sessions, especially at night under a warm blanket with the fur babies. From time to time, I like to play a indoor game where I spread little snacks and treats around the house and encourage the dogs to sniff them out. This is another way to mentally stimulate bored pups.

Schedule: I am a full time contracts assistant with remote work and very flexible scheudle. I don't have kids so I am able to give extra attention to my pups and yours! About my home: I have a beautiful big yard (.25 acres) that is completely fenced and has natural grass (please see photos for reference). There is a doggy door so all dogs can go in and out at their own convenience. In addition, my house is spacious with 2 floors so it's easy to separate dogs if needed. They are free to lounge on the couch/ bed as well. Environment: My dogs generally roam free during the days but I found that having a balanced routine and structure leads to well behaved dogs (ex: dogs know when it's time to wake up, or wind down for bed or how many walks they will get and the timefranes). This helps your dog get accustomed to the routine, and start feeling part of the family right away. Crating: I understand everyone has different needs with their dogs, and crating is very common from my experience of boarding. Please let me know if that is needed, and I can accommodate.
