Pawfectly Pampered, Loving Pet Care
I have 20 years of experience and believe in loving your furry family member the way I would want someone to care for my own child. I understand that pets aren't just animals—they're beloved family members, and being trusted with their care is being trusted with their life. My 8 year old daughter & I are a team this summer and we can't wait to give double the love and attention to your furry family member. I pride myself on providing dependable, attentive care while keeping pet parents informed if they wish by giving regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, dog parks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, they will receive care personalized to their individual needs and personality. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who require patience, consistency, close supervision, and attention to detail. I stay highly engaged to ensure young pets are safe, learning good habits, getting plenty of enrichment, and receiving the structure they need to thrive. I am equally comfortable caring for senior pets who may require a gentler pace, medication administration, accommodations, or extra attention. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your pet feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for.

Cortney helped us when we needed help and she took care of Leo’s medications on time. Got pictures everyday. He came happy after his stay.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. Our apartment community in the Hopkins/Minnetonka area is very pet-friendly, with a dog park located just steps from our front door and beautiful walking paths that wind throughout the neighborhood and around the Carlson Towers area. These paths provide plenty of opportunities for exercise, sniffing adventures, fresh air, and mental enrichment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect and follow the routines, preferences, and instructions that help pets feel most comfortable. No matter how high-maintenance your furry family member might be (I get it), I'm happy to do I understand that consistency is important for everyone, pets included, especially when their favorite safety humans are away. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
A typical day
My daughter and I enjoy outdoor activities such as going on long walks (with younger pups to get out energy), shorter walks (older pups or on hot days), and visiting different dog parks in the area to play fetch and get out any zoomies. Indoor activities usually involve lots of cuddles, some tug of war competitions, hide and go seek (my daughter hides and we seek her - the dogs always win), treat mats or kong, dinner prep, bath time, brush and dry them, brush their teeth, chopping on a good bone, give any medications, ect.)
