My Experience I have spent over 25 years caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I have advanced canine husbandy, behavioral and training skills. I learned early on how to read animal body language and provide the love and structure they need. Managing everything from high-energy puppies to gentle senior animals. What I Can Handle Special Needs & Medical Care: I am fully comfortable administering oral medications, topical treatments, and adhering to strict dietary restrictions or feeding schedules. I hold Level 2 canine first aid. Puppies & Seniors: I understand the patience required for potty-training puppies, as well as the gentle, slow-paced care needed for senior dogs with arthritis or cognitive decline. All sizes welcome, and all ages from 8 weeks to 18 years. I also handle intact dogs in a multi sexed household. It is difficult to find care for unneutered dogs and that is not a problem here. I personally have owned 4 lb chihuahuas all the way to 90lb powerful breeds. Dogs that may be deemed unsuitable for doggie daycare or kenneling will thrive at my home. I do not take any other animals during the time for these clients, they have individualized needs and I have options for integration or keeping all dogs separate. I typically only take 1 client's dog (s) at a time to ensure safety and to make sure your pup has a wonderful time here. Behavioral Nuances: I have experience with anxious, rescue, or reactive dogs. I know how to maintain a calm environment, avoid triggers on walks, and give them space to build trust at their own pace. My Routine When your pet is with me, their safety and happiness are my top priorities. A typical day includes structured potty breaks every 2-3 hours (for adult dogs), engaging playtime, and daily walks tailored to your dog's energy level. I strictly follow your home rules—whether that means keeping them off the couch or reinforcing their current training commands. You can expect photos and text updates so you never have to worry about how they are doing.
