Pet care experience
Houda’s Cozy Critter Cottage 🐶🐱
Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, and my home, The Cozy Critter Cottage, is a cozy, whimsical place where pets can relax and feel at home while their owners are away. Many people say our home feels like stepping into a magical storybook, with cozy spaces and lots of warmth. It’s the perfect environment for animals who enjoy comfort, attention, and a calm home atmosphere. I have several years of experience caring for and training animals, and I’m comfortable working with pets with a wide variety of personalities, temperaments, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet cuddles and naps, I adapt to their routine so they feel safe and happy. My own animal family includes three friendly ragdoll kitties, a sweet Pomeranian, fish, and chickens. All of my pets are well-socialized and used to being around other animals, which helps visiting pets settle in comfortably. I’m also able to accommodate animals who may need extra space or a quieter environment. My home is large enough that pets can be comfortably separated if needed, which can be helpful for animals who prefer their own space, are adjusting to new environments, or require special care. When pets stay here they are treated like family. They’ll have plenty of attention, cozy spots to relax, playtime, and lots of love. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, training cues, and any specific instructions you provide. I offer most services available on Rover, including boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing during their stay. My goal is simple: a safe, happy, magical little vacation for your pet while you’re away. 🐾✨

Honda is amazing she help rehome my pets to proper homes and babysat my dog for a month on and off while I was going through a rough move
I’ve trusted Houda with my pets several times, and will continue to do so. My animals love the walks and size of her yard! I always get plenty of pictures and updates about how they’re doing. I know my babies are in good hands in her home

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of our daily life, and our routine is built around making sure our animal kiddos get consistent attention, structure, and love throughout the day. My wife and I coordinate our schedules so that someone is almost always home. I work full time Tuesday through Thursday, and during that time my wife is home caring for the animals and keeping their routines consistent. The rest of the week, we’re typically both home, which allows us to provide even more supervision, playtime, and one-on-one attention. We start the day with morning walks and feeding, followed by free-roam time in the home so pets can relax and settle in comfortably. Throughout the day, we provide enrichment, attention, and outdoor time in our fenced yard—something our Pomeranian especially enjoys, and visiting pets are welcome to enjoy as well. In the evenings, we do another walk along with wind-down time so pets feel calm and at ease. Because of this setup, pets staying with us are rarely left alone and get a great balance of activity, routine, and cozy relaxation in a safe, structured environment.

Safety, trust & environment
Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is my top priority. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family and are always supervised, comfortable, and well cared for. Our pets are our kids! :) Pets are welcome to free roam in a cozy, structured environment, with consistent routines that include feeding, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. For pets who may need extra space, time to adjust, or a lower-stimulation environment, we are able to comfortably separate animals within the home. We also have a dedicated area for crates, making it easy to accommodate crate-trained pets or owner preferences.
