Highlights
Pet care experience
Petite Pup Retreat
I specialize exclusively in petite breeds and offer a safe, calm, and highly supervised home environment. I care for my own small dogs daily, so I understand their unique needs, sensitivities, and personalities. My home is structured around frequent potty breaks, gentle routines, and constant attention — not crowded or chaotic like daycare settings. I only board one household at a time (up to 3 tiny pups), ensuring your dog receives one-on-one care, personalized routines, and a truly boutique experience. Every pup gets daily brushing, teeth care, enrichment activities, supervised outdoor play, and plenty of cuddles. I monitor closely for overheating, stress, behavior changes, or medical concerns and always communicate promptly with updates, photos, and videos. If your dog thrives in a quiet, loving, small-breed-friendly home with a sitter who takes safety and trust seriously, this is the perfect place for them.

Schedule
My home is structured around caring for petite pups — from regular potty breaks to brushing, supervised playtime, and calm indoor routines. I already manage multiple small dogs daily, so welcoming a client’s dog into my schedule is seamless. They receive consistent, gentle care woven naturally into my everyday routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I maintain a calm, structured environment designed specifically for petite breeds. My home is fully fenced, supervised, and enriched with safe play spaces and gentle small dogs. Potty breaks, check-ins, and supervision are woven into my daily routine. During walks, I carry fresh water, a travel dispenser, and waste bags. I verify proper gear before every outing and monitor your pup closely for any signs of stress, overheating, or fatigue. If a medical or behavioral concern ever arises, I contact you immediately. Crates are available for rest time if desired, and all social interactions are supervised to ensure a safe, relaxed experience.

A typical day
At the Petite Pup Retreat, I keep activities calm, enriching, and designed specifically for small dogs. Your pup can enjoy: • Supervised outdoor playtime in a safe, fenced yard with gentle small-dog friends. • Light obedience and trick training (sit, stay, paw, spin, touch — all positive and fun). • Indoor enrichment games like snuffle mats, scent searches, puzzle toys, and treat trails. • Soft play sessions with plush toys, gentle tug, or fetch for tiny pups who enjoy it. • Cuddle breaks and relaxation time for dogs who love closeness and comfort. • Calm socialization with my friendly Yorkies and Pomeranian, always monitored. • Seasonal themed activities (cool-down popsicles in summer, cozy blankets in winter). • Daily brushing and pampering for a spa-like experience. • Photo and video updates of all the cute moments they have throughout the day. Every activity is designed to keep petite pups safe, happy, stimulated, and relaxed — just like a little vacation for them.
