When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I focus on maintaining a routine and environment that feels safe and familiar for the animals. I offer services like dog walking and drop-in visits, ensuring your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while staying in the comfort of their own home. For dog walking, I always prioritize walks in the pet’s neighborhood or areas they’re accustomed to, as most dogs feel more secure and relaxed in familiar surroundings. During drop-in visits, I follow all owner-provided instructions, whether it’s feeding, administering medication, or spending quality time playing and cuddling with your pet. My goal is to reduce any stress your dog might feel in your absence and provide care that mirrors your own. Special note on boarding: I offer ‘Boutique Boarding’ service. It is highly personalized and I treat your dog as my own during their entire stay. I only accept one dog at a time (multiple dogs from one family ok) and focus on their individual needs. Your dog becomes part of our family. I do not kennel or use crates to simplify my life during their stay. If your pet needs their crate as their safe place and prefers access to it, I will of course accommodate. I have a very friendly 10 year old female Cocker Spaniel mix, so I do require a meet and greet to make sure our dogs get along and you are comfortable with me and my dog.
