Dog-loving Yogi next to RSR

My JRT and I were a Certified Pet Therapy Team until his death, at age 17, in March 2025. I want to give and receive doggie energy and love until I am ready for a new full time companion. I am a retired professional working as a yoga instructor and End of Life Doula. I am experienced and comfortable with adult, senior, ill, and end of life doggy woggies.

Gina was very communicative with updates/photos every day and my dog loved staying with her, will actively look to rebook with them again.

Schedule

My schedule varies from week to week. On the weekends, I might take your dog to the mountains for outdoor adventure (or inside rest). Let me know your needs and I will try to make it work into my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer drop-ins, walks, or sleep-overs at our house. I have a doggie door for small dogs and a fully fenced back yard. I have a backpack and snuggly for those who like to be close. We are open to couch and bed surfing.

A typical day

We will discuss this together to ensure your dog(s) is comfy, safe, and happy! I love to be outside, and live in a walkable neighborhood next to Rancho San Rafael’s 33 acre dog park.
