Dog Boarding & Walking

I treat every dog like they’re my own, I know how important that trust is. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including high-energy pups and senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I focus on keeping your dog happy, active, and comfortable in their routine—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or calm companionship. I’m also attentive to details like feeding schedules, medications, and behavior cues. I have a friendly 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Ozzy, so I’m very familiar with daily care, exercise needs, and creating a safe, loving environment. You’ll always get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away.

Schedule

I currently offer full-time availability for boarding, with a flexible schedule to accommodate early morning, afternoon, and evening walks or drop-ins. Because I’m home often, your dog will get consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day—not long periods alone. I’m also happy to work with your specific routine to keep things as normal as possible for your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure backyard and live in a safe, walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily exercise. Inside, dogs are treated like family and always supervised. I also have a friendly 4-year-old Golden Retriever, Ozzy, who loves having company and is great with other dogs. I always introduce dogs properly and make sure everyone feels comfortable. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, behavior, and any special instructions you provide. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes a mix of exercise, play, and relaxation based on your dog’s energy level. Mornings usually start with a walk or outdoor time, followed by feeding and play. Throughout the day, we’ll do activities like fetch, enrichment games, and neighborhood walks to keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated. There’s also plenty of downtime for rest and cuddles so they feel at home. If your dog enjoys socializing, they’ll have safe, supervised playtime with Ozzy. I adjust each day based on your dog’s personality and needs.

Please let me know your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medications or special care needs. I also like to know about their temperament, energy level, and how they interact with other dogs. If your dog has any triggers (like loud noises, separation anxiety, or resource guarding), sharing that ahead of time helps me create the safest and most comfortable environment possible. The more I know, the better I can make your dog feel at home!
