Highlights
Pet care experience
Retreat Setting with Mt and Creek
I work from home and offer a calm, peaceful environment in a quiet cottage surrounded by open land. What sets me apart is my grounded, attentive presence, clear boundaries, and ability to tune into each pet’s individual needs. I’m especially well suited for dogs who benefit from consistent routines, lots of human presence, and a gentle, low-stress setting. I’m also comfortable with senior care, medication support, and giving extra attention to sensitive dogs.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work on my property and am home throughout the day. I’m an early riser, so morning walks, feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins happen easily. Because I work either behind the house or in my cottage, I’m able to stay nearby and provide pets with regular attention, supervision, companionship, and a calm, consistent environment.

Safety, trust & environment
My care depends on each client’s preferences and their pet’s individual needs. I offer 5-star service and treat every animal like my own, with lots of love, attention, and personalized care. I like taking breaks throughout the day, so pets get plenty of companionship, potty breaks, walks, and affection. Because we’re surrounded by nature, they also get to enjoy a peaceful, calming environment. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
A typical day
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.

- 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.
