🏠 How I Care for Pets in My Home and in Yours Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, you can expect attentive, personalized, and respectful care every step of the way. In My Home: I have a cozy home with a large yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and quick potty breaks. It is partially fenced. So, outdoor time will either occur on walks or on longlines. While the yard is large, I know most pets love a change of scenery, so we also enjoy leisurely walks, when appropriate, adventures to local parks H. Boyd isn't far) or dog parks. I always follow the owner’s preferences for activity level, routines, and socialization. Your pet will get plenty of affection, structured care, and attention—just like one of my own. In Your Home: When house sitting, I pride myself on being the most respectful guest you could ask for. I keep things tidy, follow all instructions to the letter, and am so focused on caring for your pet that your home may be cleaner than when you left it. I understand that your pet feels safest in their own space, so I work to maintain a calm, consistent environment while you’re away. Whether it’s watering plants, bringing in the mail, or keeping to a special feeding or medication schedule, I’ve got it covered. To be clear, as a house sitter, I can stay overnight, but only when extremely necessary because my own dogs need tending. The window of time would be 6-7 hours max overnight. If I have a previously booked boarding animal, I won't be able to stay overnight, so clients with furbabies who are sufficient for at least 8 hours are optimal matches. In general, I stay as long as needed to ensure your animal family members are cared for the way you prefer. The animal always comes first! 😊🥰 I work out all the communication prior to your departure and stay in communication as much or as little as you request while you are away. Ultimately, I take my cues from you and your pet’s needs—always prioritizing comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

Get ready for tail-wagging adventures and brain-boosting fun! As a veteran Special Educator and current part-time preschool teacher, I've always shared a love for learning (and wagging tails), I bring the same thoughtful approach to pet care. I incorporate scent training techniques, mental stimulation games, and obedience practice to keep your pup’s mind sharp and spirit happy. Weather too hot for a hike or park? No problem—we’ll take field trips to dog-friendly spots like Lowe’s, Marshall’s, or TJ Maxx for some cool air and exciting new sniffs! For the more social pups, hikes and dog parks offer a perfect mix of exercise and enrichment. Every activity is tailored to your pet’s personality, energy, and comfort level—because their well-being is my top priority.
