Caring for dogs is an integral part of my personal routine. I structure my week around creating a calm, predictable environment where every pup feels safe, loved, and included. **Mornings: Start my day with Goose, walks, and breakfast; this sets a positive tone for any visiting pups. **Daytime: Flexible work from home / personal time allows for potty breaks, play, or snuggles as needed. **Evenings: Dedicated play, training reinforcement, and snuggle time; ensures pups have attention and care before bedtime. **Weekends / Off-Days: Focus on enrichment, socialization, or longer walks, making sure pups feel stimulated and happy while you’re away. **Overnight Stays: Structured bedtime routines and monitoring to ensure safe, restful nights for all dogs. This setup allows me to consistently provide intentional, reliable care while balancing my personal life. Goose and I are fully part of this routine, so visiting pups are seamlessly included in our daily rhythm.

Winnie's Way - Intentional Pup Care
Pet care experience
Winnie’s Way was born out of love, loss, and everything in between. When I brought home my pup Winnie, she was ten months old — full of spunk, laughter, and a level of mischief that could brighten even the darkest day. Just a month later, she was unexpectedly diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy, and my world changed overnight. Caring for her meant learning more than I ever imagined — from medication schedules to monitoring and building routines, to understanding what real patience, trust, and intentional care look like. Every day required adaptability, focus, and heart. Even in the toughest moments, Winnie had a way of being oh so sassy, while wagging her tail like she was saying, “I've got this, Dad. I can fight through this!" Though Winnie is no longer here physically, I know she’s watching over me, Goose (her brother and my current sidekick), and every pet I care for. Goose is calm, playful, and loving — happy to play, snuggle, or comfort a new friend as needed. Together, we offer a safe, joyful, and intentional environment where every tail feels valued, loved, and understood. Services backed by experience include: •Dogs of all energy levels and sizes •Special care for medical needs (medications, monitoring) •Socializing multiple pets and managing sibling groups overnight •Creating safe, calm, and fun environments tailored to each dog •Administering routines, medications, and gentle care **Optional Meet & Greet: I offer a meet-and-greet prior to overnight stays so your pup can get familiar with Goose and me — ensuring a smooth, happy transition. Winnie’s Way isn’t just a name — it’s a promise: to care with intention, love without condition, and make sure every pet feels seen, safe, and deeply loved… mischief and all.

Jake hAs watched my dog while I was out of town, a few times now...and I can’t recommend him enough!! He sends check-ins, photos, and little updates that actually make me feel at peace while I am away. My pup was relaxed, cuddly, and totally herself with him -- and that’s rare. Knowing he’s experienced with medical needs because of Winnie made me feel even more confident trusting him!
Jake has been the go-to pet sitter in our family for years. He has this soft, steady presence that animals gravitate toward. He notices every little thing... if they’re anxious, tired, thirsty, overstimulated...and adjusts instantly. Watching him support Winnie through her medical issues showed me how patient, gentle, and committed he is to keeping animals comfortable and happy.
I’ve seen Jake with all kinds of dogs, and I can honestly say he treats every one of them like they’re his own. He’s calm, reliable, and pays attention to details you wouldn’t even think about. My dog, who’s usually shy around new people, literally rolled onto her back the first time she met him. That tells you everything.
