HappyPETS!

As a fellow pet parent, I understand the difficulty in entrusting your beloved pets to someone else, especially after experiencing the pain of neglect by a trusted sitter. I am committed to providing a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment for your pets, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve, just as I do for my own. My pets benefit from multiple daily walks and playtime, and with my background as a certified dog trainer and veterinary technician, as well as experience in pet grooming, you can rest assured your pets are in capable hands. Please note, I do not use retractable leashes, and if you don't have a regular leash, I am happy to provide one. In the spring and summer I can offer swimming/pool time as well have a large pool. As long as pet can swim and listen to basic commands. If oet has a favorite toy please bring with them. A blanket that you have slept with like a small throw blanket is alway nice to have as it holds your scent and can help comfort your pet.

Dana was kind enough to meet and greet and on last notice give Red a go. She's very knowledgeable with animals. Dana was prompt with communication as well as taking care of Red. I'll definitely use Dana's services in the future.

I can't speak highly enough about Dana! Her knowledge of dogs and training skills made my dogs' stay not only fun, but also productive and educational. I got regular updates complete with adorable photos, and left with tons of valuable knowledge to continue training my pups. Thanks so much Dana; Walter, Willow, and I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Simply amazing. My dog didn't want to get in the car to leave. Extremely flexible and kind. We will use their services 2-3 days a week for awhile. Perfect experience!

Pets

A typical day

I talk to your pets during our interactions so they become more comfortable with me. I like to sit on the floor so I'm not intimidating to shy pets. I love spending time with my clients so they aren't just walked and left alone again. At my home, we get uo for morning potty time. Breakfast is usually given 30 minutes to an hour after first potty break. We settle for an hour after eating to avoid any upset stomachs. After that we head outside for another potty break. We will play in the yard for as long as you're pet would weather permitting, if to hot or cold we do shorter but more frequent breaks. We have a senior in home who requires to go out every 30 minutes to an hour due to old bladder. In the spring/summer we have a pool so I offer swim time upon owner approval, they will receive a basic bath and dry before heading home free of charge if they used the pool.
