Loving Dog Watcher

I have always had a dog since the age of 8. Our family loves dogs and we would love to take care of your dog in our loving home. We would give you the peace of mind that your dog is somewhere fun and safe. Your dog will get lots of attention and have plenty of time in the outdoors. We have a fenced in yard for them to run freely in. We live on a quiet street with a walking path not to far of up the road. We have one dog who would love to have a friend to play and go on walks with. We are also a family with two kids. During the week days I dog walk from 10-1. I require a meet and greet before booking for any of my services. For boarding or day care services I like to do them in my backyard. I ease dogs getting together inside as I have learned the temperament changes with a less neutral territory. By the second day dogs are much more adjusted and at ease. I follow any instructions to a T. And will send you lots of photos and updates. My son is always with me for dog walks and drop ins. We love to care for your pups as our own. So we hope you choose us to have keep your doggie happy while your away.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 08, 2025

I am absolutely over the moon with the care Helen provided for my dog, Magnolia, during her daycare day. Magnolia, being a rescue, is typically shy and anxious around new people, but Helen’s warm, compassionate nature made her feel completely safe and at ease. I especially loved that it was a one-on-one experience with Helen, allowing her to give Magnolia her full attention. Helen also sent me plenty of adorable pictures throughout the day, and seeing how relaxed and content Magnolia looked brought me so much joy. From drop-off to pick-up, the entire experience was flawless. I felt completely at peace leaving my precious girl in someone’s care, knowing she was in the most loving, capable hands. When I arrived to pick her up, Magnolia was so happy to see me, but it was clear she had had a wonderful time. It warmed my heart to see how much she enjoyed her time with Helen. Helen went above and beyond to ensure Magnolia was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Without hesitation, I can wholeheartedly recommend Helen to any dog owner. I trust her completely with my sweet girl, and I’m confident you will too. Helen, thank you so much for providing such exceptional care for Magnolia. Your kindness, professionalism, and dedication to her well-being have made a world of difference, and I’ll be forever grateful for the love and attention you gave my baby.

Penny had the best time with Helen and her family. Helen was amazing and agreed to watch Penny for our wedding weekend and also drive her to the venue so we could get some photos with our pup. We're so grateful!!!

Helen was very responsive which was especially important because we had to be away during a holiday weekend. She reassured us throughout the trip that our 12.5 year old dog, who no longer spends much time without us, was well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard so dogs can run around freely in the backyard to get as much exercise as needed. I also feed dogs in separate areas. I have a baby gate for any separation if needed, but usually dogs have free roam of the house.

Pets

A typical day

I love to play fetch with dogs. I also love to let them run around my backyard as often as possible as long as the weather is nice. If walks are required during stay, I walk up our quiet street to the playground.

I would like to know if your dog is crate trained. If your dog has separation anxiety. If they chew on things in houses, wood, carpets. Are they potty trained or like to mark there territory in certain things? Is there stomach sensitive and easily upset? Any allergies? And are there any quirks I should know of!
