Safe, Snuggly & Stress-Free Care

Having lost both of our sweet dogs, I miss the love and joy they brought. Caring for your pets fills that space in my heart. I’ve been around pets my entire life, almost 40 years of loving on dogs, cats, farm animals, and container pets of every size and personality. Until recently, I had a house full of pets: two big, goofy doodles and two cats (including sweet seniors who needed a little extra TLC). Those years taught me how to handle wiggly, excitable large pups, while also knowing the patience and gentleness senior pets deserve. These days, my home is filled with the love of one senior kitty, and I'm excited to open my hearts (and couch!) to yours. I don’t have kids and I have a non smoking home, so all of my love and attention goes straight to the animals in my care. I’m home full-time, so your pets won’t be left alone. My home is a cozy, pet-friendly household where belly rubs, ear massages, and snuggles are part of the daily routine (basically all day if it’s allowed, lol). Whether your dog wants to romp in the yard, go for a walk, or curl up for a nap, I’ll follow their lead (or your request) and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I can give oral meds, keep food/water on schedule, and happily adjust to whatever routines your pet is used to. Here, your pet won’t just be looked after, they’ll be cherished like part of my family. PS - I'll probably take a gazillion pics of your pets while they are here and I'm more than happy to send them to you! ;)

Schedule

Drop-off and pick-up are flexible to what works best for you, because I know life doesn’t always run on a set schedule. I don’t have other work pulling me away, so they’ll get attention, snuggles, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet will never feel like an afterthought here, their care is truly my focus. I also understand how stressful it can feel to leave your fur baby in a loud daycare with slippery floors and too many distractions, that’s why I offer a calm, cozy, homey space instead. Here, your best friend will be cared for like family from the moment they arrive until the moment you pick them up.

Safety, trust & environment

My home was made with pets in mind. Dogs are welcome to curl up on the couch, or I’ll happily follow your wishes if you’d prefer they stick to their own beds. You’re welcome to bring along their favorite toys, blankets, or beds, or they can borrow ours (we have plenty to share). I have a fenced yard (4ft tall) for supervised playtime, an elevated deck where curious pups can safely watch the neighborhood go by, and carpeted steps throughout the house to help protect joints and prevent slipping. While our home has multiple levels, I'm happy to keep your pet on just one floor if that’s more comfortable for them. Most of all, I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. They’ll get plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, and companionship; always with the same care and attention I gave my own.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day here is all about keeping your pet happy, active, and loved. I'll start with some fresh air in the yard or a walk around the neighborhood to explore new smells and sights. Inside, there’s plenty of playtime with toys, games to keep their minds busy, and of course lots of belly rubs and snuggles. If they’re more of a napper or observer, they’re welcome to curl up next to me while I do chores or relax on the couch and they can lay on the deck to watch cars passing by. Every day is tailored to what makes your pet happiest.

I like to know about any special needs, routines, or quirks so I can give your pet the best care possible. Please share details about feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys, or any habits that help them feel secure. If your pup is shy, excitable, or has things that make them nervous, that’s helpful too because I want to make sure their stay is comfortable, stress-free, and full of love.
