Highlights
Pet care experience
Committed to happy pups & kitties!
Hi there! I have been passionate about dogs and anything related to dogs since I was 8 when my family adopted our first pup, Lucky. Since then, I have cared for numerous dogs of friends and family and the moment I had my own apartment (townhouse), I adopted my own furry friend. I genuinely LOVE spending time with dogs so it would be my privilege to care for yours and be entrusted to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. It’s a responsibility that I take very seriously. I personally know how stressful it can be going to work or away on trips without ensuring you have a trustworthy person to love and care for your furry family member but no worries, I will treat your pup like my own so they won't miss you (too much) ;) And you can bet I'll send plenty of photo and video updates every day! I have experience walking, feeding, medicating (oral), and bathing dogs of different backgrounds.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Eileen & Ricky were so attentive with our boy Rio. They sent plenty of updates throughout his stay. Definitely recommend them, will book again for future trips!
Eileen was great. Super knowledgable about dogs and gave excellent updates during my boarding appointment with her.
Fantastic -- Constant, clear communication before and during the stay. Very caring and very knowledgeable, as well as sensitive to our dog's specifics. So fortunate to have met Eileen and Ricky -- a tremendous relief to have such great care for the smoosh!
Our dog had another great stay with Eileen and Ricky. We never have to worry when we are away. We know he is well cared for.
Eileen and Ricky are wonderful sitters. We never worry about our dog when we leave him. We know he is in good hands.
We were so happy to rebook our cocker spaniel, with Eileen and Ricky. They sent pictures and texts daily letting us know how Reiley was doing. We have already booked with them for later this month. I would definitely recommend them.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I'm currently studying full-time at home and working part-time (1-2 days/week) as a medical assistant so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup. My partner also works from home full-time so someone is home almost all the time. I am currently available for doggy day-care M-F and most weekends, and overnight boarding all nights of the week. I can also drop by your house throughout the day and take your pup out for walks in your neighborhood. My schedule is quite flexible, so if given appropriate notice, I will try my best to adjust my schedule to fit you and your pup. Let me know if you have any other questions! I'm only a message away :) Rules: 1. Separation anxiety - while we are home almost the majority of the time, there are instances where we may have to step out for at most 2-3 hours in a day. Therefore, if your dog has separation anxiety and requires one of us to be with him/her 100% of their stay, please let me know in advance before booking. 2. Weight limit - Although I LOVE big dogs and have a pretty big pup myself, I have to limit any dogs that stay with us to 80 lbs at most as I do live in an apartment with an unfenced yard. I can absolutely do drop-ins and walks for 80 lb + dogs. 3. Dogs must not have any ongoing health issues (especially if contagious) and must be vaccinated against rabies and have up to date flea/tick/heart-worm prevention. Fees: 1. If your pet has separation anxiety and requires me to be with him/her 100% of their stay, there may be an additional charge. 2. Normal day care hours are for 10 hours during the working day. Any extended period beyond that is subject to additional charges.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a townhouse with a large unfenced yard in a residential community that is super dog-friendly and surrounded with plenty of nature and walking trails. Most of my neighbors also have dogs. I have a friendly and very laid back 8-year old pup who enjoys play/hikes but also content with napping most of the day. We like to visit the local dog park which is only a 5 min drive away. We have routine walks in the morning and evening time, so your pup will fit right into our daily routine. If additional walks are needed, we will accommodate. If the weather permits, we also like to go for mid-day/nightly jogs and visit the dog-park. Please do let me know if your dog has any special needs that I need to pay close attention to and I’ll do my absolute best to prepare and study up in advance. I also live by many animal clinics and emergency centers, so in the unfortunate case something happens, I will absolutely communicate with you and the Rover team and bring them right away if warranted.

A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs both mentally and physically with puzzle games, long strolls in my enclosed apartment complex/neighborhood to check out new smells and play fetch on our large grassy field. Afterwards, snuggling up on the couch while I study, read, or watch TV is the perfect way to end the day.
