Safety, trust & environment
For care in your home, I like to follow the routines you have established with your dog so they're comfortable in a familiar environment. For boarding in my home, I begin by giving your dog time to adjust to me, my family, our home, our pets, and any other pets we may be caring for at the time. This allows them to relax, feel safe, and truly enjoy their stay. My family is all hands-on. We take walks, play with, and shower your dog with love. My dog is friendly and playful and enjoys the company of other dogs. I work with crates and pens so they have a place to feel comfortable, safe, and secure. I have a fully fenced yard which will allow for your dog to run and enjoy outdoor playtime securely.
Home
Information Grace D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is working on any training, has any special behaviors or needs that I should be aware of, or has any allergies to foods, etc. Also, what your dog likes to do for fun is helpful.
A typical day
I like to promote healthy physical and mental play, from running around in the yard or throwing a ball for fetch and playing rope tug, to puzzle toys and exploring all the smells of the neighborhood as we take walks. Your dog will be well cared-for and included as part of our day-to-day family life.

Loving, Work-from-home Dog Mama
Pet care experience
I would be happy to care for your pet while you're at work or traveling. I grew up around dogs from childhood into young adulthood, with breeds such as Chihuahua and Bullmastiff to Lhasa Apso and American Staffordshire Terrier. After becoming a mother, my focus was on my family and career, but I would help neighbors and friends with their pets as needed when they went on vacation, over holidays, etc. In November 2020, we decided to rescue a 2-month-old puppy and have enjoyed watching her grow and become a loving companion to the family over the past several years. From walking and feeding to grooming and sleeping, I know how important it is for fur babies to follow routines, feel comfortable, and trust that they will be cared for in a safe, loving way. My priority is comfort and safety to ensure a pleasant experience for all. When I receive your initial request, I will schedule a meet & greet. If your request is for boarding or daycare, we will meet at a public park with my dog to ensure neutral territory for the dogs. If the request is for walking or drop-ins, we will meet at your home so that I can become familiar with the dog's environment, routine, etc. The primary purpose of the Meet & Greet is to discuss your expectations, for your dog to meet me as their potential caretaker, and for me to consider the needs of your pet.
