I have a fenced in yard in the back (will have a fully fenced in yard by the end of August in the front). My dogs have a semi strict schedule of activities to keep them mentally/physically stimulated. I follow suit with everybody’s dog. Everybody eats in their own crate, is provided with soft bedding to sleep on in their own crate, but exercise thoroughly throughout the day.

Information Josephine W. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs or you have any special requests, please let me know! I try to be as accommodating as virtually possible.

A typical day

A typical day at my house involves waking up in the morning and stretching our legs. Dogs are taking outside to use the restroom and then given their breakfast in their individual crates. Left to digest for at least two hours and then some midday/early afternoon activities. This is followed by going to the dog park anywhere between 3 PM and 7 PM for at least an hour. After the dog park, dinner is given and a bit of rest. Taking out at least one more time prior to going to bed for the night.

Pet care experience

When Covid started, I accidentally started my business by helping a couple people who adopted dogs outside of their care knowledge. Helping them with their working class dogs (pitbull, collie, and a GSP) and establish a better owner/pet relationship made me realize that this is the right move for my future. Since then I have started my own business as well as helping others with their new family member(s). No creature is too small or large for me. My smallest dog client is 3 pounds and the largest is 215. Aside from that I have expanded my practices with lizards, snakes, cats, and birds. Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime!

Reggie was left in good hands while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Playing with all the other dogs definitely helped his high energy level too.

Jozy was amazing! She was able to check on my dog three times a day while we were gone over the weekend. She was attentive to my dogs needs and made sure to give her enrichment and the attention she needed.
