Pet care experience
I’ve been taking care of animals most of my life. I have always enjoyed being around them. I’ve always done pet care for my friends. I never want animals to stay inside a house or kennel all day if I can help it. Now I just purchased my own home and my work is fully virtual, I have even more time and space resources to devote to animals that need some tender loving care while the owners are away.
Reviews
Absolutely wonderful with my dog sawyer. Took him on plenty of walks and had lots of playtime. Will definitely be booking again
Maizy was pleased to go back for a second visit. I think she had fun.
Excellent. All went well. Pippin seemed to be happy. He didn't walk much, probably because the place was new and wasn't sure when i would return. My only concern is that the price is a little high to make this an every day or multiple day daycare experience - for me.
Alissa was great! Thank you!

I have a fenced in yard with plenty of shade. I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood great for walks. I have a park a few blocks from me with plenty of good places to walk and explore.

Information Alissa W. would like to know about your pet
It would be helpful to know what kind of socialization level they have with other dogs. I have many dog parks around me and they are great places to have the off leash freedom and space to fetch. If your dog gets nervous around other dogs, I’ll be sure to modify our agenda accordingly.
A typical day
I think mental activity is just as important as physical activity. That means that we not only go on walks, but the dogs should have time to sniff everything. Sniffing works the brain while the walk works the body. I also like to do fun games with treats. I take a bunch of identical plastic cups and lay them too down over a large area. Under one cup, there is a treat. Not only do they have to sniff out the treat, but they have to use their nose or paw to move the cup in order to get the treat. Hide and seek is a great game as well. They have to smell you or hear you to find you.
