I just quit my full time job to pursue a startup business that will occupy a lot of my hours but will be fully at home. I have a dog at home who I walk 2-5 miles each day in between meetings to refresh myself and give her stimulation and fun!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with lots of great smells, as we are surrounded by trees. We have a black lab named Dixie who is always excited to show her new friends her backyard toys. I also am a big walker and enjoy taking dogs walking in my neighborhood for a mile or two at a time. I do not walk multiple dogs together, as I want to give each dog what they need from their outside time. We are very social people and routinely have friends come by the house. My dog loves extra love but we are happy to accommodate the needs of your fur baby while they are with us!

Information Josie & Pierce S. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to know leash and social habits before signing up to watch or walk your dog! We are very social people and enjoy hosting friends at our home. Since we do spend a lot of time outside, it is helpful to know if your dog gets "triggered" by any outside stimuli so that I know what to be aware of!

A typical day

I enjoy getting the day started pretty early, while my husband and my dog, Dixie, enjoy sleeping in together until mid-morning. Your dog has the luxury of getting a jump on the day with me or enjoying a quiet morning of snoozes until they are ready to wake up. We are outside people and big walkers, so I tend to get 2-3 dog walks in each day. If walking isn't in the cards for the day, we play a lot of inside games and fetch in the backyard. I tend to wrap up my days on the earlier side while my husband is a night owl, so again, best of both worlds to accommodate whatever makes your furry friend most comfortable.

Your Dog’s New Favorite Vacation!

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have almost always had a dog in my home, and was responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and loving on my animals. I’m an active volunteer at the Wake County Animal Center, where I routinely walk dogs of all backgrounds and sizes. I do have a black lab at home who is a big sweetheart and is great with other animals.

Moxie had a great time with Josie, Pierce and Dixie! She was so excited to see them and didn't want to leave at the end of daycare. So happy we found them!
