Millennial Dog Caretaker on the Go!

Hi dog moms and dads! I am now accepting new clients again and am happy to provide the safest cleanest environment for your dog pal! Please support me in an effort to keep everyone safe by sanitizing any toys, blankets and food dishes etc before dropping off. Thank you so much! ABOUT ME Hi! I am a dog loving, energetic millennial who works from home. Growing up, my grandpa had up to 8 dogs at a time. We've had a myriad of animals all throughout my life including a baby pig at one point. Imagine that! My most recent dog Prince, died a few years back and I haven’t been a pet mom since. Now that I’ve relocated to the DMV, and work from home I have lots of free time to give your dog a safe, active environment. I live in a nature surrounded area in Herndon with a huge courtyard, lots of dog buddies and a park nearby. It would be so awesome to host your pet and give them love, attention and companionship while you are away. When Booking: Please kindly provide the estimated time of drop off and pick up. If you are a repeat client, ask me about discounts. Things To Note: ~ Day care hours are between 8am and 6pm. Over night stays are 24 hours. If the stay extends past 24 hours there may be an additional fee assessed. Please feel free to message me if you need special accommodations and/or care. ~ First Time clients require a meet and greet so I can make sure your dog can receive the absolute best care possible. ~ Please try to let me know if your dog has any aversions or dietary restrictions as I do occasionally give an edible reward to all my dog pals. :)

Canden was awesome with my dog Luna! We had a meet and greet beforehand, and Luna took to her immediately. She was quick and easy with communication, and gave me daily updates and photos. I knew my girl was in good hands and happy.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog pals are allowed in all parts of my home. I keep my space pretty much dog proof at all times and make comfort a top priority.

A typical day

I believe that dogs should be physically and mentally stimulated like people! I try to provide toys, healthy treats and play with all my pals while they are with me. I treat each pal like an individual and sometimes will even buy them a trinket or treat that I think would appeal to their individual personality. My goal is to make my home your dog's home away from home.
