Pet care experience

Toy breed & small dog breed Haven

I specialize in small dogs & toy breeds, under 15 lbs who are current flea and heart worm medications and up to date on vaccinations. I provide a loving family and caring home away from home ... where your pup can snuggle while we watch tv...follow me around while I work from home. My policy is safety first for all pups. Being a Chihauhau mom, I adore the small breeds and love making them feel secure and safe in a new enviroment and providing fun walks in my enclosed yard.

We were fortunate to have discovered Esther earlier this year and have used her several times. Our chihuahuas Coco settles in quickly with Esther and the proactive care and attention she receives. The multiple photos emailed to us during Coco’s stay confirms Coco is receiving great care while we are gone.

Esther was wonderful with our little Yorkie. She sent pictures throughout the day and made us aware of his daily activities. Esther was very caring and loving with our baby. I would definitely recommend her. I would use her again.

Esther took care of my Yorkie, Penelope for several days while I was on vacation. She sent pictures every day and Penelope seemed to really enjoy her and her dogs. Highly recommend Esther!

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure your dog is eating, drinking water and having enough outdoor bathroom runs. Keeping your dog safe is my top priority. I will send plenty of photos during your pup's stay and keep you updated on anything I notice that would concern your dog's health and safety.

Pets

A typical day

We are always up early making sure the pups get an early morning time in the yard before breakfast and again after breakfast and several times during the day. Pups are welcome to sleep in my bedroom - they may bring their favorite pup bed too. If you prefer to crate your dog at bedtime, you are welcome to bring that to the stay. I do run errands and may be out for up to 2-3 hours at a time.

0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Esther can host up to 2 pets per night
I enjoy dogs that love to sit on the couch and just chill! I prefer to not board pups with severe anxiety as I do run errands and need to be able to leave the house.
