I live in a spacious, first-floor apartment with direct access to a secure patio and a neighborhood dog park—just steps outside my door. This makes potty breaks, quick outdoor play/walks, and socialization seamless and stress-free. Every day, our neighborhood hosts friendly dog meetups with well-behaved pups, offering perfect opportunities for your dog to engage with others in a safe environment. Inside my home, dogs will find a clean, calm, and organized space with plenty of enrichment. I have a variety of toys, training tools, puzzles, and games to ensure your dog stays mentally and physically stimulated—the goal is for no boredom and anxiety. I also keep a full range of grooming and cleaning supplies on hand, so whether your dog needs a simple wipe-down or a post-adventure bath, I’ve got it covered. I am well-versed in training methods and behavior management, so if your pup has specific routines or commands, I likely already have the knowledge and equipment to maintain their structure. I’m happy to reinforce crate training, leash manners, or any custom instructions you provide to ensure consistency while you’re away. I also have a well-socialized golden retriever mix who’s incredibly calm, friendly, and trained to model great behavior for other dogs. If your dog enjoys companionship, mine makes an excellent playmate. If needed, I can crate or separate the dogs for one-on-one attention or downtime—your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

Every day is tailored to your dog’s personality, energy level, and comfort. Whether it’s structured games like catch and fetch, task-based play like scent games or “find it” challenges, or social time at the neighborhood dog park, your pup will get to release energy in a safe and fulfilling way. Health is a top priority in my day-to-day care. I maintain grooming routines (deshedding, bathing, nail trimming, paw/teeth maintenance) and support wellness with gut/joint supplements and proper hygiene. I approach every dog as if they’re my own—working to give them the best life possible and ensuring they return with stronger behavior, great memories, and a great night sleep. I live next to a dog-friendly park where daily group meetups are the norm, so your dog can enjoy supervised socialization with playful pups. For those that enjoy one-on-one time, I offer hikes on local trails, training reinforcement, and mentally enriching games to help tire them out. I also love incorporating basic training refreshers into play, making learning fun and rewarding. Have a lower-energy or senior dog? I’m just as happy to provide slow, calming walks, gentle stretches, or time in the sun while they relax and enjoy companionship.
