Availability

Working from home allows me to be very hands on with pups throughout the day. Dogs get frequent potty breaks, plenty of attention, and play time. When it's nice out, you can often find me working outside while the dogs enjoy the yard. I share regular photos, videos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing (and how cute they're being with new friends!)

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a single family home with a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and exercise. I have a doggy door, a gated dog run, and a large indoor playpen (see photos) to accommodate different needs and energy levels. My dogs sleep in my bed, and I’m happy to let your dog sleep in bed with me as well, or to crate them at night and when I’m away if that’s part of their normal routine. My home is safe and secure, with an indoor and outdoor video security system so I can monitor the pups anytime I’m away.

Information Catlyn W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance about any special needs, feeding routines, medications, allergies, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can make your dog as comfortable as possible. I’m always happy to do meet and greets beforehand, especially for anxious pups, to help everyone feel comfortable and set up for a great stay.

A typical day

We have a large fenced backyard, so pups get plenty of outdoor playtime every day. Kane is very playful and loves having new friends to play and run around with, while my little one, Barbara, prefers to snuggle in my lap, so we’re able to accommodate a wide range of personalities and energy levels. A typical day includes running and playing in the yard, toys and games, belly rubs, treats (as approved), and plenty of naps. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding schedule, whether that’s breakfast and dinner, additional meals, or grazing. I also have experience administering daily medications if needed.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs of all ages for many years and have two rescue pups of my own. I work from home, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention, care, and love throughout the day. I treat my dogs like my children and will do the same for yours!
