Your Pet’s Staycation Starts Here

I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have loved them since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs starting at age 6, and by the time I was 15, I began dog-sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. From tiny pups to big energetic dogs, I’ve had experience with all kinds of personalities. Whether it’s going for walks, feeding, playing, or just providing companionship, I always treat pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments and make sure every dog I care for feels safe, happy, and loved.

Schedule

Pet care is honestly a big part of my daily life my routine pretty much revolves around the dogs. I start my mornings by taking them out first thing, then feeding them before I even feed myself. I make sure they get a good walk, and later in the afternoon I walk them again for exercise and playtime. In the evening, I feed them dinner and take them out for one last walk. Their comfort and care are always a priority for me, so everything else in my day works around making sure they’re happy, healthy, and well taken care of.

Safety, trust & environment

I always follow whatever routine or instructions are given to make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure whether in my home or a client’s. I’m flexible and able to adapt to what each dog needs, whether that’s sticking to a strict schedule or offering extra attention and playtime. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard, so dogs can safely get outdoor time and take breaks throughout the day. I make sure they’re never left unsupervised outside.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy! If your dog enjoys walks, I can take them on long strolls around my large, pet-friendly neighborhood. If they prefer playtime, there’s also a spacious yard where they can run around, play fetch, or just relax in the sun. I always try to match their energy and make sure they’re having a good time while staying safe.

please let me know if your dog needs any medication, has any specific behaviors I should be aware of, or has a preferred walking schedule. I want to make sure I can give them the best care possible and keep their routine as smooth and comfortable as it is at home.
