Availability

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. We’re outside as much as possible — I love gardening, so there’s plenty of time spent exploring, playing in the dirt, and soaking up fresh air together. Whether your pup wants to join me outdoors, curl up inside for snuggles while watching The Sopranos, or prefers some quiet solo time, I always follow their comfort level and routine. I’m happy to play, cuddle, and give your bestie all the love they need. I don’t feed my own dog people food, and I’m very comfortable sticking to strict feeding schedules and special diets, including for pups with sensitive tummies. Your dog’s routine, boundaries, and well-being always come first. **Please note I have some AMAZING fur friends and I’m rapidly filling up for the summer. Please try to request dates far enough in advance (especially for holiday weeks). I’ll still try to help you out if it’s last minute, but the sooner it’s on the books, the better! I will be out August 5-13, September 3-7, and September 24-28. All dates subject to change. (Updated June 17)

Your pup will have free range of the house and lots of attention. We cuddle, play fetch, run the fence with the neighbors dogs - I’ll treat your baby just as I would my own. I often have multiple dogs, they run and play almost all day. For those that love to lounge, I got you as well. I promise your dog will return happy and tired.

Information Ashley D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know (feel free to copy and paste this in your request) - Allergies - Where they usually sleep - if they have their own bed they love, bring it, otherwise I have about 10 dog beds. - Any medication needed - Do they tear up stuffed toys - Are they runners - Are they kenneled when leaving the house Anything else to make them comfortable.

A typical day

We have tons of toys and treats, happy to go on walks. Deiga (my pup) gets the zoomies and loves to run laps in the yard. I have a doggie pool I set up in the summer in case you have a water dog (looking at you, Louie the Lab). I buy tennis balls in bulk! 😃

Pet care experience

I’ve truly never been without a dog in my life, and your pup will be treated like family here — mi casa es your baby’s casa! I have a large, fully fenced backyard and spend a lot of time outdoors, so pups who enjoy fresh air and playtime will feel right at home. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and am in the office Tuesday–Thursday, but your pup will always be safe, comfortable, and well cared for. If I’m in the office for more than 7 hours, I have a friend that comes on their lunch break to give lovins. My own dog is 13 years young — full of personality and playfulness, and you’d never guess her age! She’s not crated, and I have cozy dog beds in every room so pups can relax wherever they’re most comfortable. It’s just me in the house, which means a calm, attentive environment with lots of one-on-one love. Pickups and drop-offs are available between 7am–9pm; if you need special arrangements, just ask! Days here are filled with fun and enrichment — pup arts and crafts, plenty of room to run, homemade treats, snuggles, walks, baths, and even the occasional pillow fort. Your dog won’t just be watched — they’ll be loved, spoiled, and celebrated.

Fantastic stay for our two pups. They had a blast with all the others pups and the kiddie pool.

Ashley was great with Penelope! She sent photos regularly and kept me updated on her activity throughout the week. I will use her again - Penelope enjoyed her stay and having another dog to play with.

Yuki, my Frenchie, played hard with Ashley’s dog and other big dogs. He loved pool time and determined he would sleep in Ashley’s bed. He had such a good time that I don’t think he wants to come home! I rebooked with Ashley a couple weeks from now. She sent me pictures several times. I highly recommend her!
