Highlights
Pet care experience
A safe & loving care-taker
I have been lucky to owned dogs my entire life, big and small. My wife and I had our last dog for 13 years until she passed away in 2025, so there is a lot of love that we are now re-directing to other dogs. I have taken care of friends, family, and acquaintances' dogs throughout my life and never had issues. Prioritizing your dog's safety is paramount inside and outside of our home. I work remote so overnights, doggie-day care, and daily walks are easy to manage. Our condo only has an enclosed patio, but directly behind the patio is a big communal yard that offers a lot of space to run around and play fetch. I have trained our previous dog from a pup and know how to reinforce good behaviors with treats, repetition, and boundaries. Your dog will be well taken care of and will have all the love they can get. I will not have multiple dogs from multiple people at the same time, to avoid any conflict. However, I am willing to take care of multiple dogs from one owner. Thank you for your consideration!

Schedule
I work from home, so doggie daycare during the week is very manageable. Overnights throughout the week are easier than the weekend, but with advanced notice, a weekend overnight could work.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a two story condo with an enclosed patio. There is also a large yard directly behind the patio for an easy bathroom spot and fetch area.
A typical day
Waking up normally around 7, if the dog doesn't wake us up first. We start the day with a 20-30 minute walk around the neighborhood. Breakfast will be given to the dog while I start my work day. They will be let outside (on leash) for bathroom breaks at least every other hour or as needed. We'll have a walk after lunch and then again after work/before dinner time. Then one last evening walk to get ready for bed. If the dog likes their space thats fine, but if they like to play they will get it.
