Safety, trust & environment

I have two gentle, fully neutered Bichon Frises of my own at home. I do NOT board client pets at my house, all services are done exclusively at your home. To prevent stress or fights, I will never bring my own two Bichons to your property, nor will I walk your dog together with mine. While walking outdoors, I closely supervise your pup to stop them from eating unknown debris on the ground. I only choose quiet, low-traffic walking routes to keep anxious or shy dogs comfortable.

Information april C. would like to know about your pet

Before confirming any booking, I will go over all critical details with you: your dog’s feeding rules, medicine schedule, fears, dislikes, favorite toys, allergies, and any special behavioral needs such as separation anxiety. I will send regular photo and text updates during every visit, so you can stay relaxed knowing your pup is safe and happy at home.

A typical day

When I come over to your home after work or on weekends, I customize activities based on your dog’s energy level. For weekday evening visits: slow neighborhood strolls for sniffing exploration, indoor gentle play like fetch and soft toy games, plus cozy snuggle time. On weekends, I have unlimited free time for longer leisurely walks, mental stimulation puzzle games, and lots of one-on-one cuddles. I avoid over-excited rough play for nervous or older dogs.

Pet care experience

I have hands-on experience raising my two Bichons, Sanji and Miso, from puppyhood. I took care of Miso throughout her pregnancy, supported her during labor, and looked after Sanji by himself starting from the day he was born. While I am not a professional breeder or expert, I learned basic canine care through caring for them personally. I know how to watch for stress cues, stick to consistent feeding routines, support calm daily social time, and give gentle care to anxious or older dogs. Through years of daily care for my own dogs, I am patient and observant with pups of all personalities, and I always follow owners’ specific instructions closely when looking after your furry friends.
