I have experience caring for pets with extra needs, including giving daily medication. I gave my Pomeranian medicine every day for years, including liquid medication by syringe later in her life, so I understand the patience and attentiveness that senior dogs may need. I also used pill pockets with my Lab, so I’m comfortable giving medication in different ways. I would treat your dog like my own, with love, patience, and close attention to their individual needs. Unspayed or unneutered dogs may be accepted on a case-by-case basis depending on temperament, age, and compatibility with any other dogs in my care. For safety and comfort, I do not accept dogs in heat.

Activities really depend on the dog’s age, personality, and exercise needs. I’ve had both a Pomeranian and a Labrador, so I understand that different dogs need different kinds of care and activity. I’m active early in the day and have a large field of about an acre on the side of my house where dogs can play fetch and get exercise. I also have hiking trails right out my door, including a trail to a creek and walks up a coastal mountain, so I can mix up activities depending on the dog’s energy level and needs. My goal is to make sure each dog has fun, gets appropriate exercise, and feels happy and well cared for.
