Availability
I’m retired and home most of the day, which means your pet will have a calm, steady presence and attentive care. I shape my schedule around their needs, feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just quiet company. Mornings and evenings are reserved for routine care, while afternoons often include one-on-one time, enrichment, or simply being nearby so your pet feels secure. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in - it’s part of the rhythm of my day.

About Edna H.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your fur friend's comfort and safety come first. I create a calm, secure environment with clear routines and close supervision. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and needs - so I can respond with confidence and kindness. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routines. I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send updates so you’re never left wondering. Trust isn’t assumed. It’s earned - through consistency, care, and respect for both pets and people.

Information Edna H. would like to know about your pet
My preference is for pets that have been adequately socialized. Anxious dogs that can't be around other animals or humans safely should invest in obedience training before I am able to provide care.
A typical day
Daily Walk Adventures Not just a stroll around the block. I tailor walks to the pet’s energy level - whether it’s sniffing every tree like it’s a treasure hunt or a long walk to burn off steam. Playtime that Fits Their Style Is your dog a fetch fanatic? Game on. Is your cat a laser pointer ninja? I’m ready. Photo Updates Yes, I’ll capture the fun. Expect photos of your pet mid-zoomie, proudly holding a toy, or just being adorable.

Reviews
Edna did a fabulous job taking care of Zoe. Zoe received cuddles, runs, Frisbee and ball play! Zoe was allowed to sleep in bed with Edna also ♡ We are very grateful for the pictures and videos that Edna sent while we were away!
Edna is warm, friendly, calm and patient. She treated our 15 year old dog with kindness, patience and love. I would recommend her highly and without reservation.
Edna was an angel. She cared for our pet very well.
My dogs were very well taken care of! It was obvious from the time we walked in the door that our two dogs would be in great hands. This was our first time away from our girls and we left feeling confident we had made the right choice. The photo updates and texts were wonderful and kept us in the loop with everything going on. We would choose Edna again for sure! Thank you for taking such good care of our pups!
