Equal Opportunity Dog and Cat Help

I’ve taken care of/lived with dogs for 14 years, starting with my own family dog. I work from home so have full availability to board or check in on your loved one(s)! If boarding, my cats are very mild mannered and tend to stick to themselves (or me); they also have been around dogs before. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pet!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 14, 2026

My dog started having diarrhea after I dropped her off and it didn’t phase Joy even a little. She was so understanding and did such a great job caring for Stella. I’m truly grateful

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a one bedroom but have plenty of space to separate pets if needed; there’s also a dog park within my apartment complex to take your pet out as much as is necessary. I have two separate small/medium-sized crates. My cats typically stick by me or to themselves and have experience with other cats/dogs, so no concern on my end. I’m happy to take your dog on as many walks as needed within the neighborhood, at the dog park, or at a nearby trail. I have 2 litter boxes and a third one if needed. I prioritize staying home when pet-sitting.

Pets

A typical day

On a typical day I would take your pet out around 7am for their first outside time. Anytime between 10:30am and 1:00pm we would go for a longer walk in the neighborhood or at a nearby trail. Another quick potty break around 4 or 5pm, and then one last mini walk between 7pm and 9pm. I’m happy to incorporate any activities you’d like, but outside of walking, I prioritize staying home while pet sitting.

I’d love to know your pet’s routine so I can keep with that while they’re with me, i.e., what times of day they usually eat and which times they are usually taken outside.
