Information Ann R. would like to know about your pet

A Few Things to Know Before Booking To give your pup the best possible care, I kindly ask that you share as much as you can about their personality, behaviors, sensitivities, habits, and health. Knowing these details ahead of time helps me avoid surprises and provide the best care possible. Examples: -How they behave around food, toys, other animals, and other people. -Any signs of separation anxiety or stress when left alone -Any medical conditions or special needs -Vaccination history or relevant vet info -Their responsiveness and comfort level with people and new environments Since I have 2 children (11 and a 13 years old) at home and a pup of my own, it’s especially important that your dog feels comfortable around both kids and other pets. For Boarding & Doggie Daycare: I offer lots of outdoor playtime in our spacious backyard. Depending on your pup’s needs, weather conditions, and leash manners, I’m also happy to include walks. Please let me know what works best for your dog during the booking process so I can tailor their care accordingly. I do sometimes host multiple dogs at once, but I always ensure the group is well-matched and that everyone gets along. Pepito plays an important role here—he’ll help me decide after our meet-and-greet if your pup is a good fit for our home. If you’d prefer your dog to be the only guest during their stay, you need to let me know before booking—I’ll do my best to accommodate, as long as there are no other bookings at the time of your request. In some cases, depending on your pup’s needs and the level of care required, there may be an additional fee. If so, we’ll discuss everything ahead of time before the stay. For young pups, I recommend bringing their own crate or playpen to give them a familiar, safe, cozy spot where they can have a break, rest, and feel secure during their stay. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!

A typical day

We enjoy engaging with our furry friends all day long, both inside in our home and outside in the backyard. I like to keep them active, entertained and mentally stimulated by playing games like tug of war, fetch, hide and seek, but also providing space to rest when they need it. Additionally, I find it rewarding to reinforce basic manners and tricks such as sit, wait, come, and with your approval, I could also teach them fun ones they might not know, such as roll over, hi5, shake, as long as your dog seems to enjoy it. Your pet will have the company of my own kids, including my playful chocolate labradoodle. They sure will have lots of fun playing together.

“Happiness is fur and four legs”

Pet care experience

It really does take a village to care for a pup—and I’m so happy to be part of yours! Hey there! There’s something truly special about the bond we share with our pets. I absolutely love meeting new pups and spending time with furry friends of all ages—whether we’re playing, cuddling, or just relaxing at home. For the past four years, I’ve had the joy of caring for friends’ pups, along with my own sweet chocolate labradoodle, who I’ve raised since he was just a fluffy little guy. From energetic playtime to cozy snuggles, I’m all about making sure every dog in my care feels happy, safe, and deeply loved. Bonus: My kids play music at home, so your pup will be surrounded by live tunes and become the cutest little audience. Who knows—they might come home humming a tune or howling in harmony! 🎶🐾 When you leave your pup with me, you can rest easy knowing they’ll be treated like part of the family. We’ll shower them with love, attention, and plenty of fun adventures!

Ann was absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs! I knew they were safe with her and her family and I would use her again in the future. Highly recommended!

Ann watched Missy and Max over the weekend. She has watched them before. When they saw her, their little tales moved back and forth quickly. They never looked back at me and happily went with Ann. I never worried about them because I knew they were an excellent hands. She administered medicine to Missy and Max.. They were fine. She’s a wonderful sitter.. She’s very conscientious caring for your Pat.
