Your Dog’s Home Away From Home 🐾

I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years and have experience with all kinds of personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and even dogs that need a little extra patience and understanding. I’ve owned everything from easygoing family dogs to a Husky–Coyote mix who required consistent training and careful management around other dogs. Those experiences taught me how to read body language, respect each dog’s comfort level, and provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. Dogs have always been part of my family, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home during their stay. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which means your dog will have plenty of companionship and supervision throughout the day. Aside from grocery trips, walks, and outings with my one-year-old son, I’m home and available to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. Our home is a safe, loving environment where dogs become part of the family during their stay. We have a friendly mixed Lab named Buddha who absolutely loves making new friends. Whether your dog enjoys wrestling, chasing a ball, or simply relaxing with another dog nearby, Buddha is always happy to have a companion. Every introduction is done slowly and safely because I know every dog has a different comfort level. My priority is making sure every pet feels secure, comfortable, and stress-free. Pickup Policy To ensure I can provide the best care for every guest and manage my schedule, pickups that are significantly outside the scheduled pickup window may require a booking modification to cover the additional care provided. If your plans change, please let me know as soon as possible, and I’ll do my best to accommodate you whenever I can. Thank you for considering our family to care for your pup! I look forward to meeting you and making your dog’s stay safe, fun, and full of love.

i have known Journey a very long time, and i can honestly say that she is by far one of the most responsible, integral, and kind people I know. She is also an EXTREME animal lover and puts her heart and soul into every creature around here. I am a very protective pet owner, but I would trust journey with anything.

Journey is my go to person to take care of my dog when I need someone. She takes him for walks and gives him lots of love and attention. She is reliable and very responsible with him. Dieter (my dog) always gets so excited to see Journey because she is amazing with him. Your dogs will be in safe hands if you hire Journey to watch or walk them!

Safety, trust & environment

Our home is a safe, loving environment where dogs become part of the family during their stay. We have a friendly mixed Lab named Buddha who absolutely loves making new friends. Whether your dog enjoys wrestling, chasing a ball, or simply relaxing with another dog nearby, Buddha is always happy to have a companion.

Pets

A typical day

Our days are full of activity! We usually start with a neighborhood walk followed by breakfast and plenty of outdoor playtime. Throughout the day we’ll enjoy games of fetch, backyard play, enrichment activities, cuddles, and potty breaks. When weather allows, we often head to nearby trails for walks. I also make sure every dog has plenty of opportunities to rest and relax between activities. Each dog’s routine is different, so I’m happy to adjust feeding schedules, exercise, and naps to match what they’re used to at home.

Journey can host up to 2 pets per night
Before booking, I’d love to know: * How your dog does around children and other dogs. * Any medications, allergies, or medical concerns. * Feeding schedule and favorite treats. * Any fears or behaviors you’d like me to know about. * What helps them feel most comfortable away from home. My goal is to make your dog’s stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible while giving you peace of mind.
