✨How do pets fit into my everyday schedule?👇🏻 I’m a professional freelance photographer, so my schedule is very flexible since I work for myself. I spend a lot of my time around dogs, and caring for them is something I truly love and take very seriously.I’m also currently training with Karen Pryor Academy toward my CTP certification, because I hope my future career can grow even more around dogs and animal care. Right now, I’m focused on building my services, improving my profile, and most importantly, making every dog feel happy, safe, and comfortable. With my flexible routine, I’m able to give plenty of attention throughout the day, whether that means longer walks, playtime, preparing meals, or simply staying close by to keep your pup company. Your dog will never feel alone and will always be surrounded by calm care, comfort, and companionship. Providing the best possible care is always my top priority. Whatever your pup needs, just let me know, and I’ll make sure it’s done with patience, love, and attention. 😊🐾

🐾What it’s like for pups staying in my home Your dog will stay in a calm, clean, and loving home with close supervision and plenty of one on one attention. I work and study from home most of the day, so someone is almost always nearby. The home also has 24 hour cameras for extra safety.

Please feel free to share any preferences, routines, dietary needs, or medical considerations so I can tailor their stay and make them feel comfortable.

Things I would love to know👇🏻 - routine schedule - sleeping preference - barking habit - recall behaviour - exercise amount - food allergies - separation anxiety - health issues and medication I usually send photo or video updates multiple times a day (and as a professional photographer, I can’t help but capture lots of cute moments 😋). Just let me know what update style you prefer😉

As a professional photographer, I also share beautiful photo and video updates during their stay, with plenty of worthy moments. 📸✨ ✨Daily schedule when at home looks like this: 🌅 Morning Start ✅ 8:30 to 9:00 AM Wake Up and Potty Break We start the day with a gentle potty break and some fresh air. Afterward, pups relax before breakfast.Some dogs go back to snoozing, while others enjoy quiet place time on a mat in the kitchen while I make my coffee and breakfast. ✅ 9:30 AM Breakfast and Potty Breakfast is served once everyone is calm and settled, followed by another potty break.After that, dogs enjoy free time or a quick fun training moment to get their brains working. 💻 Late Morning Calm Time ✅ 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM Rest and Quiet While I Work or Study This is our peaceful stretch of the day. Most dogs nap, lounge, and recharge while I work from home or study my courses.Perfect for pups who love a cozy, relaxed environment. 🍃 Midday Break ✅ 1:30 PM Potty, Play, and Quality Time We take a potty break, have some playtime or cuddles, and I spend quality interaction time with the dogs while I eat my lunch. 🦴 Afternoon Wind Down ✅ 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM Rest Time and Gentle Enrichment Dogs settle back into another calm rest period while I work.With your permission, they can also enjoy a natural chew for 10 to 15 minutes to support dental health and provide a little extra enrichment. 🐾 Late Afternoon Activity ✅ 5:00 PM Walk or Yard Play This is our main afternoon activity window.

Afterward, pups relax and rest again. 🍽️ Evening Routine ✅ 6:30 PM Dinner and Potty Dinner time is followed by a potty break.Dogs then enjoy free time while I do household chores, and I typically include one short, positive training exercise during this period. 🌙 Cozy Night Calm ✅ 8:30 PM Lick Mat and Snuggles A calming lick mat activity for about 20 minutes helps dogs fully settle for the evening. Then it’s cuddle time while I watch movie or do light work on my phone.

Reviews
It was a very first dog daycare experience for my dog Sakura. She was totally overwhelmed when we visited Flora’s place for meet and greet before an actual day to stay. However, Sakura seemed open up herself to Flora and the daycare experience was successful! Thank you, Flora!
Fantastic dog daycare! The staff are friendly, professional, and clearly care about the dogs. Sadie came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and fun place for their pup!
Flora was an incredible sitter who is kind, communicative, accommodating, and took such amazing care of my pup Pepper. I am always nervous leaving Pepper as she is typically shy and takes some time to warm up to new people, but she must have felt very safe with Flora because she made herself right at home. Flora sent me so many photos and video updates and I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing Pepper was in good hands. Thank you, Flora!
Flora was amazing! Kip was super happy and played a lot! Loved the videos and photos sent throughout the day of him!
