Highlights
Pet care experience
Doggy Poppins | Heritage Hills
SERVICES BEGIN APRIL 1, 2026 Empty nester, self-employed PR professional, and lifelong dog lover. I share my home in OKC's Heritage Hills with two friendly Shetland Sheepdogs who are gentle and accustomed to other dogs. Because I work from home, I am available most of the day and able to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. I only accept two guest dogs at a time so every dog receives calm, individualized care in a quiet home environment. My goal is to make your dog feel like part of the household rather than in a kennel. I had to go out of town unexpectedly recently and I had to board my dogs. When I returned, they were distraught and reaked. It was very upsetting and that is when I got the idea of helping people in my neighborhood who need help with their pets. Dogs in my care spend their time indoors with me, with regular outdoor breaks in a secure yard and plenty of affection and attention. I have a small apartment behind my home that was remodeled for my elderly mother. She has passed away and now it's the Doggy Poppins Cottage where pets can be separated from my shetlands if necessary. I understand that leaving a beloved pet can be stressful, so I am happy to provide updates and photos during your dog’s stay. I look forward to welcoming dogs who enjoy a peaceful home environment.
Qualifications
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Because I am self-employed (public relations/advocacy) and work from home, I am home most of the day and able to provide regular supervision and companionship for the dogs in my care. Guest dogs follow a calm household routine that includes morning outdoor time, time indoors with the family during the day, and additional outdoor breaks throughout the afternoon and evening. Dogs are rarely left alone for extended periods. I also have a safe dog run. I only accept two or three guest dogs at a time, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and maintain a peaceful home environment. Drop-off and pickup times are flexible by arrangement.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Dogs staying in my home are treated as part of the household and spend their time indoors with the family rather than in kennels or crates (unless a crate is part of your dog’s normal routine). I share my home with two gentle Shetland Sheepdogs who are friendly and accustomed to other dogs. Because I only accept two or three guest dogs at a time, I am able to supervise interactions closely and maintain a calm environment. Dogs have access to a secure yard for regular outdoor breaks and exercise, but they spend most of their time relaxing indoors. I take care to follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, and preferences. I understand that leaving a pet can feel stressful, so I am happy to send updates and photos during your dog’s stay to give you peace of mind. I have a tiny apartment behind my home that was remodeled for my late mother. It is now the Doggy Poppins Cottage. Pets can be separated from my Shetlands if necessary.
Pets
A typical day
Depending on the pet and their personality activities could include walking, playing catch, splashing in a kiddie pool. I love to talk to dogs. I love to treat them like babies if they're good with that. I cut up apples and bananas sometimes for my dogs just to make their diets and days more interesting.
