Pet care is at the heart of my daily routine, and it’s something I absolutely love. Every day starts with checking in on my own pup, Ezzy, and making sure all the dogs in my care get their morning meals, walks, and playtime. I like to stick to consistent schedules for walks (usually 2–3 per day), meals, and rest time to keep dogs feeling comfortable and secure. During the day, I focus on individual activities like training, games (fetch, tug-of-war), and trips to the local dog park, depending on the dogs’ energy levels. I always ensure there’s plenty of one-on-one time for cuddles and belly rubs. I also make time for some relaxation and supervision, whether that’s lounging on the patio or keeping an eye on them while they nap. Since I’m available 7 days a week, pet care is an integral part of my daily life, and I’m always flexible to fit dogs’ needs around my routine, whether it’s day or night, weekdays or weekends.

A Note About My Pup: My dog, Ezzy, has no special needs and gets along well with other friendly dogs. She's social, playful, and respectful of different energy levels. That said, I always like to know a bit about your fuzzy baby before their stay—please let me know if there’s anything important I should be aware of (like special routines, health needs, quirks, or preferences). The more I know, the better I can make their time with me feel just like home!

Allyssa was wonderful with Apollo, and accommodating when I had to extend his stay. Communication was great.

Alyssa responded very quickly to get us out of a tight spot. She was very good to Mocha.

I was disappointed with the level of communication during my booking. Updates were minimal, and messages often went unanswered or were delayed. I had to reach out multiple times to get basic information, which was stressful and not what I expect when trusting someone with my pet’s care. As a pet owner, regular check-ins and reassurance are important, and I did not feel informed about how my pet was doing. I hope this is something that can be improved for future clients.
