Highlights
Pet care experience
Please let me cuddle your dog?
I'm a mom with a teen son who's too cool for affection these days, so I'm here to steal cuddles from other people's dogs instead. Jk (mostly)! But seriously, we genuinely love animals in this household. I've raised a puppy through the chewing/potty-training chaos and currently have a resident cat who is the sweetest, most patient friend you'll ever meet. Your pet won't be an afterthought here; they'll be part of the household for the time they're with us.

Schedule
I'm currently working from home and my son attends school online so we're generally home all day, your furbaby won't be left alone for long stretches of time. I'm available for daycare or overnight stays. Let me know what you need and we'll figure out the details together!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Every pet who stays with me gets treated like part of the household; not just looked after, but included. I will follow your feeding schedule, medication routine, and any specific instructions exactly as you'd do them yourself, and I always check in with you if anything comes up. Pets aren't left alone for long periods, and I keep a close eye on them any time we're out and about or they're adjusting to a new space. For walks, there are great paths lining the neighborhood and a nearby park; all sorts of things to sniff and explore, well away from any busy or dangerous roads! And as a bonus, my balcony overlooks the spot on the path where all the neighborhood dogs stop, so your pup will always be the first to know the hot goss if they stay with me.
Pets
A typical day
Depends on the pup's energy level and what they're into! For the walkers, we'll hit up the neighborhood paths and the nearby park. There's plenty of sniffing, exploring, and watching all the local dog gossip from my balcony. For pups who want to chill, we've got cozy couch time, or just hanging out with me and my resident cat (who's very used to visitors and mostly unbothered by dogs). If your dog is food-motivated, I'm happy to work in some training reinforcement or games too; just let me know what they respond to. Really, I just try to match their energy and make sure they're having a good time, whether that's an adventure or a nap.

- Before a stay, I like to know: feeding schedule and any food allergies or restrictions, medications (and how to give them), potty/exercise routine, and any behavioral quirks, like reactivity to other dogs, separation anxiety, or things that scare them (thunder, vacuums, etc.). I also want to know their favorite things so they feel comfortable faster. And of course, vet contact info and any emergency instructions just in case. A quick chat beforehand helps fill in anything that's hard to put into words!
