Pet care experience

Leave your babies in loving hands!

I have a long history of caring and watching after pets. Growing up, my family had a farm with horses, chickens, and a pack of German Shepherds. This farm exposed me to caring for puppies, administering oral and topical medications, grooming, and a keen eye for caretaking of canines and other animals. Now that I moved here for college, I no longer live on the farm but I couldn’t live without a companion. So now I have 2 allergy-burdened Great Pyrenees that continue my experience of animal caretaking. Along with turtles, horses and chickens, I’ve also had chinchillas, hamsters, and cats in my lifetime which has expanded my caretaking experience beyond canines and felines. I live with my boyfriend who also has an extensive history with animals. Rest assured that your babies are in caring and informed arms! I’m currently in grad school and I work full time, but given hybrid scheduling, I end up having good amounts of time to watch after your pet. If your pet is staying over at our place (boarding), either my boyfriend or I will be home at all times. Our schedules alternate since we have big floofs of our own who need a parent home to love on them. I am free in the early mornings and evenings on Monday through Friday for drop ins/walks. I am free all day on Saturdays and Sundays for them as well. If you need overnight drop ins, I am available from 11pm-6am every night for these upon request/as needed. For boarding, your pet is welcome any day and anytime since we are almost always home! Although we are in an apartment, we have space since it is just my boyfriend and I with our furkids. We also have a large dog park in our complex and walking trails that we will take your dog(s) to at least 4 times a day for potty time and exercise. Thor and Minnie are extremely friendly, but we have the availability to separate our dogs from yours if that is necessary. If you’d like your dog crated, that is surely something we can do, upon you providing the crate. The space allows for us to separate your pets, or have an open door set up.

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding, I have a large dog park in my neighborhood and trails to ensure pups get exercise and potty breaks. I like to give their medicines early. I mostly remain flexible to the dogs needs.

Pets

A typical day

Toys, and playtime at the dog park. Early morning and evening trips to the park are often accompanied with trail walks for smell stimulation and additional exercise. These trails are great for timid dogs or those who can’t play with others at the park.

I am happy to get to know your pet and their needs! Medicine times, walk schedules, and more can be adjusted as needed. If your dog is not spayed or neutered it doesn’t mean it’s an issue, just let me know ahead of time since one of my pets is not neutered.
