I am a full time artist and caregiver for my grandmother, and my husband works from home. This allows me the flexibility to come and go to check on your furry loved ones as often as they need care. I am physically fit and happy to go on walks (weather pending!) as frequent as needed. In home, I’m able to be physically and mentally present with your pups 24/7. Sometimes my weekends may be more busy, but it’s very likely I can still make time to pop in to care for your pups. Our space is secure and I designed it to be cozy, pet friendly, and pet forgiving for our own dogs’ safety and comfort.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I am more than happy to do meet and greets with you and your pets/your pets and my pets. Whatever they need to bring with them or whatever methods you and your pet need to help build rapport I’m happy to work with you on. I wouldn’t let just anyone watch my pups, so I know how important acclimating and rapport are to feel comfortable and safe (both you and your pets!). I also believe looking for and listening to your pet’s boundaries are essential. Not every pet wants snuggles. Crates or pet beds can be a safe haven, especially in a new environment or around a new person. Just let me know what your pet needs to feel safe and what helps them to feel most comfortable!

Pet care experience

I have experience with a variety of dog breeds, giant and small! I currently have two pups of my own: Macy, my Pekingese Yorkie (15 years old) and Harvey, my Great Pyrenees (7 years old). I Macy raised Macy from pup to senior gremlin and Harvey was a stray/rescue with separation anxiety. Both pups have volunteered with seniors and are spoiled rotten with kisses, cuddles, and furniture access! Both of my pups have health/dietary issues, so I have experience in med and ointment administration, side effects of meds and health diagnoses, bathing/grooming, etc. I’m educated in dog behavior and body language which helps me assess pup needs easily and minimizes tension or reactive moments (there are no bad dogs, we just have to have the right environment and tools to set them up for success and help them heal from trauma). I am at home full time, so I can be pretty flexible and available for your pet’s needs. If I have your pup at my home, we have an open living space with access to furniture and hard floors which make any accidents easy to clean. Your pups will not be left unattended for any period of time, so they would not need to be created, and would have constant love and supervision. We also have a spacious and partially fenced (at some point, fully fenced in) back yard, so there is plenty of room to play and explore with some privacy. If I’m doing walks around my living area, we are tucked away from main/busy roads, which creates a quieter walking environment. I am used to handling my Great Pyrenees who is 148+ lbs and can be stubborn and very strong willed.

Baylee is amazing. She housesat and took care of my fur baby and left the house in Immaculate condition. The house looks cleaner than when I left Unbelievable. She is so sweet and so conscientious. I really appreciate her.

Baylee is a Godsend to us. I recently moved to the area and am so relieved to find a responsible, caring and loving person like Baylee to help with my furbaby. Josie (my dog) loves her and seeing them together is a joy. Baylee really connects with Josie and treats her with the same sweet affection I do. I highly recommend her.
