Pet care experience

Home away from home for your pet.

I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them is a joy. Whether it's playtime, peaceful walks, or simply being a comforting presence, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like family and will make sure yours is loved and looked after just like my own.

Carla was great. Fin was good company with her dog, and Carla sent me periodic photos of Fin being comfortable and well cared for. Fin is just under 16, and is very old and slow at this point. Carla even carried Fin up stairs at nights so that he could sleep in their bedroom with their dog, rather than alone by himself downstairs. Carla also gave fin his morning meds with his food. Thank you, Carla!

Schedule

As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and availability to give your pet the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday potty break, playtime in the yard, or simply having a consistent presence nearby. Because I’m home during the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches of time. I’m able to keep a close eye on their needs, maintain their routines, and provide lots of love, attention, and cuddles.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard and outdoor area that’s perfect for running, playing, and getting all that energy out in a safe and secure space. Whether your dog loves to explore or prefers to lounge in the sun, there's plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. If your pet needs downtime or a quieter environment, I also have comfortable, confined indoor areas where they can relax and feel secure. I'm happy to accommodate different energy levels and personalities.

A typical day

I love to play fetch, go for walks or runs, and explore nature together — making sure your pup has a fun and sniff-filled adventure!
