Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us and who we are :) I have owned dogs for over 20 years now. My husband, Deonté, and I have a lab mix (Milo - 7 years old) and a pit bull mix (Reina - 2 years old) currently. The profile picture is our first family picture together! Many moons ago, I worked in an animal hospital. Because of that work experience, and having owned dogs for 20 years, I am always hypervigilant about and (over)communicate any changes or concerns, no matter how big or small. We don't like receiving surprises when we go to pick up our dogs, so we don't do that to you. Are you thinking about doggy day care or boarding? We would be honored to host your doggy with us! However, we will require a meet and greet with Milo and Reina first. I give Milo and Reina full approval of any in-house visitor because I want to ensure they are comfortable and that everyone is safe. We typically try to get our dogs out for three walks a day. When we're just chilling at home, we'll make sure we're giving your dog lots of affection. There's never a shortage of cuddles around here. Reina is our hyperactive child, so she'll also make sure your dog is playing all day long! Are you thinking about a drop-in visit or a walk? I prefer to do meet and greets before drop-ins or walks, to make sure that me and your dog/s get along. The meet and greet gives them time to get to smell me and get to know, so when I come back they already know me. For drop-ins, I love to play with your dog, give them cuddles, and take them outside. Depending on the activity level of your dog, we might try to play or walk the whole time (again, weather permitting). For walks, I try to walk the full 30-minutes, taking plenty of rests in the shade, and stopping to smell the smells.
