What made you open a pet business? You love pets? YES! I was very attached to my last rescue dog, I had Annie my chow mix for 13 years. Then I wanted to make smarter choice for dog, for me, once she passed... so I started watching, walking, training all breeds and then found the breed I wanted and it was instant love at first sight or jump into my lap. I asked the guy where he got his dog (yorkipoodle) and put a deposit down, then once I got her it was all about socializing her! BUFFY is my life!

Information Crystal L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any a fears, anxiety, triggers etc. I also need to know if the dog is on any medication or had previous injuries. Also I tell clients to bring the dogs favorite toy or something that smells like them so they are comfortable. And always, a meet and greet.

A typical day

My typical day starts with letting the dogs out back for a quick pee break. I then head out for a morning stroll to Spaddy's or Rivercrest Park. We love watching tv with dogs in the shows and cuddling on the couch. We like to play fetch and tug-a-war. What is your dog's favorite activity? I also can do minimal training to help!

Calm, Low-Volume Home Dog Sitting

Pet care experience

I provide peaceful, home-based care designed for dogs who thrive in calm, structured environments — especially small breeds, anxious personalities, seniors, and dogs who don’t do well in busy boarding facilities. My home is intentionally low-volume so every guest receives individualized attention, consistent supervision, and a predictable daily routine. Many of the dogs I care for need a gentler pace, extra reassurance, or specialized support — and that’s exactly what I provide. What makes my care different • Limited number of dogs at a time for a quiet, low-stress environment • Structured daily routine to help dogs feel secure and settled • Experience with anxious, sensitive, senior, and medically-supported dogs • Medication administration and special care routines if needed • Calm introductions and thoughtful compatibility matching • Regular photo and message updates so you always feel connected • Attentive supervision — your dog is never just “one of many” A typical day in my care Mornings begin slowly with potty breaks, gentle movement, and breakfast based on each dog’s normal routine. Daytime includes supervised play, enrichment, rest periods, and one-on-one attention. I maintain a calm, predictable flow so dogs stay relaxed and comfortable. Evenings wind down with quiet time and a restful sleep environment. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, settled, and at home — not overstimulated or overwhelmed. Best fit for my home I’m especially well suited for: • Small dogs and companion breeds • Anxious or sensitive dogs • Senior dogs or lower-energy personalities • Dogs who prefer calm environments • Pets who need medication or structured routines • Dogs whose families want attentive, personalized care If your dog thrives with consistency, gentle handling, and a peaceful setting, they will likely do very well here. Before booking A meet-and-greet helps ensure a comfortable match for everyone. I’m happy to learn your dog’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so their stay feels familiar and secure from day one. If you’re looking for attentive, home-style care where your dog’s emotional comfort and safety come first, I’d love to connect.
