Pet care experience
stay-at-home dog lover 🤎
Hi, I’m Daphne! As a military wife, I understand that life can bring some unexpected, last minute schedule changes. So if there’s a day/weekend where you have to be away, I’d be more than happy to help watch over your fur baby! As a fitness instructor who values keeping an active lifestyle, I dedicate time to my own dogs by taking them out on neighborhood walks, trails, & play dates — so if you need care full of fun for your pup, look no further! Both of my dogs, Presley and Winston, play well with other dogs but can still be old souls who lay around and sleep all day too. A bit about our fam: We have a passion for animal rescue and welfare. We’ve fostered, volunteered, and have been active in our animal shelter. I have background handling both small and big dogs, dogs with high energy, and defeated dogs who have had overall rough lives. If we see any dog in need, no matter if it’s at 11pm, in the rain, or running through the roads, we will without hesitation, stop to help give that dog whatever it is they may need. We have come across many strays and have helped reunite them with their families or have found them forever homes with the help of our local animal shelters. Our dream life is working alongside a local animal rescue back home after military life and continuing to rescue & rehabilitate more dogs in need!

Ratings and reviews
Daphne did an awesome job with our drop-in visits! She showed our dog so much love and care, and we really appreciated the updates and attention she gave our pup. We’ll definitely be using Daphne again from now on. Highly recommend her!
Daphne is amazing! Stellar communication and takes great care of your pet! Her two dogs are also sweet and got along well with my girl :)
Daphne is great with Nash and looks out for our biggest concerns and safety which I appreciate! She gives great updates and lots of pictures!
Daphne came for a meet in greet and my pups immediately took to her, today she came for a visit and ensured everyone did their business and played with them before leaving. Will be rebooking!
Daphne does such a great job with our animals! She takes the funniest pictures of them which always makes my day when I’m at work. Storm our dog absolutely loves when she hears the front door open and sees sweet Daphne walk in. If you ever need someone to come hang with your fur babies, she is the one! We appreciate all she does!!
Daphne is AMAZING! So lucky to have found her. Our pups adore her. The time she took to make sure our furry babies were comfortable means so much to us. Daphne is great at communicating and was willing to be flexible with a change of plans last minute. Definitely plan on having her help with our pups again. Thanks Daphne!

Schedule
If you need those “after hours” drop off/pick up times — don’t hesitate to ask! I‘m currently home full-time so I am flexible with your schedule. My camera roll is filled with pics of my own dogs so you can expect constant photos, videos, and updates on your baby throughout their time with me!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I separate dogs at feeding times and keep them in their individual crate overnight. Crating is for their safety as I wouldn’t want anything harmful happening to them overnight when I am not watching! They may behave well in your home but in new environments, I want to take extra precautions. The dogs are not inside for more than 2 hours as I let them outside for potty breaks and outdoor playtime often, with weather conditions kept in mind. My goal for drop-ins is to make each visit feel familiar and stress-free by sticking to their routine as much as possible and caring for them just like you would! *I kindly ask that you provide your pup’s kennel for boarding as they must be crate trained. I do not accept dogs with history of excessive barking and/or chewing/destruction/escaping when crated*
Pets
A typical day
The dogs start their day at 6:30am with a morning potty, outside time, and breakfast. We then lounge around the house before we play outside, go for walks etc. During the hottest time of the day, the dogs take their naps and play inside the cool AC home with frequent potty breaks outside. We also have a doggy splash pad in our backyard for these hot summer days! After lounging, it’s dinnertime at 5:30pm. Once their food settles down, the doggies have outdoor play/walks until they crash out for bedtime! If your dog follows a different feeding schedule, let me know! If I am out of the house running errands, I have a camera in the doggy room to watch over them and make sure they are doing okay!

- Please inform me of your pet’s routine and any special requests they will need. I do not have breed restrictions but prefer a meet and greet beforehand if possible, especially between our dogs so that both parties may have peace of mind! For my drop-ins, a meet & greet would be ideal so that I may get to know your fur baby’s routine, but it is not required. **I kindly ask that you provide your pup’s kennel for boarding as they must be crate trained.
