Highlights
Pet care experience
Don't tell, but dogs are my fave!
I've taken care of dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages, and have owned my own dogs for most of my life. When you board with me I ONLY host your dog(s) — they will be the only pet(s) I have in my home during their stay! I have experience with young puppies, middle aged dogs, and senior animals who need a little extra-special care in their handling. I have experience with giving medication, working with deaf animals, blind animals, and both deaf and blind animals near the end of their life. I have trained my own dogs from puppy age, and have worked with rescues who are juveniles. I believe in only positive reinforcement, setting boundaries, and consistency. I'm a calm, easygoing and empathetic person, and pets of all kinds appreciate my demeanor. Please note that if your dog(s) MUST have a walk every day there is a charge for that service on top of the boarding fees.

Schedule
I work from home and make my own hours, so my availability is very flexible. I do have commitments several days per week, but I'm confident we can work together to make sure your pet receives the care they deserve, and you want for them.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have lived with pets my whole life, mostly dogs and cats, though I have had fish and geckos too. My approach to caring for any pet is to treat it with respect, empathy, kindness and safe boundaries. I genuinely want all pets to be healthy, happy, and loved, whatever that looks like for them. I believe pets need mental and physical stimulation to be healthy. I respect your rules for interacting with your pet, as long as the pet's safety isn't compromised. When doing check-ins, I check water, food and let the pet out for 15-30 minutes, interacting with them to their comfort level. I clean up any messes I find, and communicate with you how I found the house/pet upon arrival. I am happy to send photos at check ins too! I only board/host pets from one family at a time to ensure everyone’s safety.
A typical day
I love to stimulate pets both mentally and physically. We'll play a few games to get their brains going, then find out what's been going on in the neighborhood on our walk.

- It's very important to me that I provide your pet the best car possible. Please let me know if your dog: - has any special needs or quirky behaviors so that I can plan ahead - does not get along with other dogs we might see while on a walk - is food aggressive - is afraid of the vacuum - is sensitive to thunder, lightning, fireworks or other loud sounds - is reactive to people on bicycles - is reactive to motorcycles - is reactive/aggressive to delivery people - can open a closed door - tries to escape the yard when at home If your pet has special feeding needs, please provide written instructions. In order to board your pet with me, they MUST be good with kids - I have a 12yo. If you aren’t sure if your pet is good with kids I will decline your boarding request. My goal is to provide a safe home for your pet(s) *and* my family.
