Information Antonia J. would like to know about your pet

Care Policies & Requirements To ensure a safe and happy environment for all pets in my care, please review the following: Dog Friendly Requirement: I welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes! However, all dogs must be friendly and comfortable around other dogs, as I have two friendly dogs of my own in the home. Drop Off & Pick Up Hours: My standard hours are 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM. Please plan all drop offs and pick ups within this window unless discussed in advance. Full-Time Supervision: I am home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout your dog’s stay. Health & Safety: Please inform me ahead of time about any medical conditions, medications, or special needs so I can provide the best care possible.

A typical day

Mornings begin with breakfast, followed by outdoor time in my fully fenced yard. We have a doggy door, so dogs can move freely between indoors and outdoors for fresh air and potty breaks throughout the day. The day is a balance of play and relaxation, backyard time, toys, or simply lounging inside. On warmer days, I often set up a kiddie pool for safe, supervised fun. You’re always welcome to send your dog’s favorite toys or comforts from home. I provide regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected and see how your dog is settling in and enjoying their stay. Evenings are calm and cozy, with dinner followed by downtime on the couch with TV or a movie, where the dogs are usually snuggled right in with us!

Mazzy loved her stay with Antonia! Our very active boxer puppy was spoiled by her. Mazzy loved running around and playing with her new doggy friend. Antonia sent pictures and updates for us the whole weekend. We will absolutely be using her services again! 💜

Antonia did such a wonderful job watching Apollo. She sent photos and videos. He had a wonderful time and got plenty of exercise playing with her two pups. Highly recommend!!

I was super anxious about leaving Molly with someone new as my pup is extremely anxious and gets very stressed and our regular sitter is away in collage. Antonia and her husband not only did amazing but they both just have a super calm demeanor that they automatically put me at ease. I knew Molly will be in good hands the minute I met them. Antonia went as far as trimming my pups nails too, which at times I feel are made of concrete. Molly is a bit apprehensive of men and I don't know what kind of magic her hubby did on my dog but she automatically took to him. Clearly the pictures speak a thousand words. The updates were so needed in my case and getting pictures throughout her stay was very appreciated as I am probably more anxious than my dog. Thank you again Antonia for all you have done today.
