Caring for Your Dog Like My Own

I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, and have fostered seven dogs throughout college, from young puppies to large breeds and senior dogs. I am able to adapt easily to different personalities, routines, and care needs. I recently lost my own senior dog, Pepper, after 17 amazing years together which has made me especially compassionate and attentive when caring for older dogs. I love spending time with dogs and will care for yours with the same patience, affection, and dedication as if they were my own.

Schedule

I work full time during the week, but I’m fully available on weekends and able to spend plenty of quality time with pets then. On weekends, dogs won’t be left alone for long periods of time and will receive lots of attention, care, and companionship. I enjoy dedicating my free time to making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they’re with me.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are welcome throughout my apartment and are treated like part of the family. I make sure they are always supervised, comfortable, and safe, and I follow any routines or instructions provided by the owner. I spend the majority of my time at home with the pets in my care, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they never feel alone. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where dogs feel secure and cared for as if they were my own.

A typical day

A typical day really depends on the dog. I used to love taking my own dog to the beach and the dog park, so for dogs who are outgoing and enjoy it, I’m happy to do fun outings like that. For shyer or more laid‑back dogs, we’ll stick to lots of walks and calmer time together. No matter what, there’s always plenty of attention, love, and cuddles—because spending quality time with them is my favorite part.

It’s important for me to know ahead of time if your dog is dog‑friendly, what types of activities they enjoy, and their general energy level. This helps me make sure they’re comfortable and that I can plan the best routines and activities for them while they’re with me.
