🐕🐈⬛🐎🐁🐹🐇🐦🐢🐍🐟 My earliest memory of having animals goes back to when I was three. Over the years, my parents owned a Cocker Spaniel, a Miniature Pinscher, Boxers, and a Toy Fox Terrier, but there were always more than just dogs around because I was tooootally that kid who fed (and eventually brought inside) the stray cats, had a fish tank, nursed injured birds I found back to health, volunteered at local stables, or raised baby bunnies who were abandoned from their mother. The trade-off for keeping all of the animals around was always as long as I took care of them, so I learned a lot about animal husbandry and responsible pet ownership from a young age. This helped me become the go-to kid among family, family friends, and the neighborhood to hire to drop in and feed, poop scoop, house sit, or walk their dogs. -`♡´- My love of animals only grew as I did. Almost as soon as I moved out on my own as an adult, I got my first dog, my Italian Greyhound, Paisley (who, over 15 years later, I am so lucky to have still curling up next to me every day). For all of my adult life I have been a dog mom, and for most of my adult life, I have not only done pet sitting but have worked with various rescues as a transporter, foster, or on the backend doing marketing/fundraising. -`♡´- In all, I have shared a significant portion of my life primarily with dogs and cats, but also various other manners of domesticated animals, including horses, rodents, birds, fish, and reptiles, including exotics, rearing them from as early as hours old, syringe and bottle-feeding, all through their lives and into old age. As such, I have experience that comes with some age-driven nuances, like navigating naughty puppy behaviors and training, to seniors who require mobility assistance and need help taking medications and eating. I never wanted human children, so my furbabies ARE my kids! I know how difficult it is leaving them for any amount of time, especially with a stranger. With that knowledge, I hope to make the experience as smooth, easy, and stressless as possible for you and your pets! 🐾

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I can’t recommend Corinne highly enough. She is one of the most compassionate and dedicated dog owners I’ve ever met. Her dogs are never just pets - they are family, and every decision she makes reflects that. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure they have the happiest, healthiest lives possible. Whether it’s investing time in training, seeking out the right professionals, or adjusting her own plans to put their needs first, Corinne’s commitment is unwavering. She believes in giving her dogs the very best, and she’s always willing to put in the work to make that happen. Anyone who entrusts their dog to Corinne can feel confident knowing they’ll be cared for with incredible patience, kindness, and genuine love. I would trust her with my own dogs without hesitation.

Schedule
I lost my soul dog to Cushing's Disease in August 2025. It changed a lot for me. So, when my Italian Greyhound was diagnosed with CKD and I welcomed my puppy into my life, I decided to leave traditional work to pour my time and energy into who and what matters most, including my animals. 💖 I occasionally do other freelance work, and of course take care of my own furbabies, one of which is a show/sports puppy (aka we do a TON of training and go to a lot of events)...but otherwise I am pretty open. Overall, I am a flexible person and appreciate likewise flexible people.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
⚠️ My Azawakh puppy is very dog-selective, so at present time, I can only reliably offer drop-in services in client homes and dog walking. ~ *I MAY be able to take on one well-behaved small to medium dog boarding or doggy day care client on a case-by-case basis at a time, but will require proof of all vaccines and monthly preventatives for the safety of my animals, as well as at LEAST one initial meet and greet in a neutral place (i.e. not my home or yours) with my Azawakh to ensure that it will be a good, fair, and safe match for everyone involved.* ~ 🏡 In YOUR home — I am comfortable with security/pet cameras (my own home has like five Furbo cams, so I get it!). As both a Sighthound and cat owner, I understand living with wannabe escape artists, and employ a number of safe entry methods to ensure that your furbaby stays safe and secure, because I know how stressful it can be on them when their paw-rents leave and their routine changes and suddenly there is a stranger in their home! ~ 📸 I am ALWAYS happy to text updates and send photos/videos so long as YOU want them (I don't want to bother you if you don't)! ~ 📝Typical care provided in my base drop-in rate: 🐶 DOGS — Check on, feeding, water refresh, pick up poop in yard, treats/brief play/training/tricks/cuddles if time allows, and at owner's instruction. *Dog walking is an additional fee/booking (please book appropriate length of time based on length of walk required AND your dog's walking style)* 🐱CATS — Check on, feeding, water refresh, scoop litter box, treats/brief play/cuddles if time allows, and at owner's instruction.

A typical day
📝Typical care provided in my base drop-in rate: 🐶 DOGS — Check on, feeding, water refresh, pick up poop in yard, treats/brief play/training/tricks/cuddles if time allows, and at owner's instruction. *Dog walking is an additional fee/booking (please book appropriate length of time based on length of walk required AND your dog's walking style)* 🐱CATS — Check on, feeding, water refresh, scoop litter box, treats/brief play/cuddles if time allows, and at owner's instruction. ~ For Doggy Day Care/Boarding, walks and playtime are assumed. Especially if your dog is fine going tandem, at owner's discretion, your dog will likely get the daily experience that my very active Azawakh does, which is traveling to pet-friendly stores or "better/nicer" walking sites than just around my neighborhood, including the beach or easy hiking trails, for exposure and enrichment. We have also taken AKC Fit Dog classes Level 1 and 2 so we love to do Fit Dog exercises and would be happy to teach them to a new fur-iend! :)
