Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely and stay home throughout the day. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I plan my day around the dogs in my care to make sure their needs are always met, whether that means walks, playtime, or simply being present to keep them comfortable and relaxed.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and comfort are my top priorities in any environment. In my home, I provide a secure, fully fenced yard and a clean, dog friendly space where pets are always supervised and never left isolated. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining the same level of care, attention, and communication to ensure their pet feels safe, stress free, and well cared for.

A Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

Caring for dogs is not just something I do, it is something I genuinely love and take pride in every day. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle attention. This has allowed me to understand how to adjust my care to each dog’s unique needs so they always feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have also had my own dog, Snoopy, for over five years. He is a Shih Tzu Maltese mix and truly part of my family. Raising him has taught me responsibility, patience, and how important it is to pay attention to the small details that help a dog feel secure. I remember how stressful it felt leaving him with someone else for the first time, especially knowing how specific his routines and preferences are. Because of that, I take every instruction seriously, whether it is feeding schedules, walking routines, or the little habits your dog is used to. I treat every dog with the same level of care, patience, and attention that I give my own. One of the things that sets me apart is the environment I provide. I have a spacious yard that is fully fenced with an eight foot enclosure, making it extremely secure for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. It is a safe space where they can run, play, and release their energy comfortably. Inside my home, dogs are part of my daily environment and are never kept separate or isolated. I also have a large open basement that serves as an additional space for play, exploration, or relaxation when appropriate. It gives dogs extra room to move comfortably while still being fully supervised and cared for. Because I work remotely and only need to focus on work for a short portion of the day, I am able to be fully present and attentive. I can take dogs out regularly, keep them active, and monitor their well being throughout the day. I also offer a flexible schedule and can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and even last minute bookings when needed. Safety and communication are extremely important to me. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, which is why I provide regular updates, messages, and photos so you always feel informed and reassured. Whether I am walking your dog, doing a drop in visit, or caring for them in my home, my goal is to give you complete peace of mind. I also believe in going above and beyond. It is not just about meeting basic needs, it is about paying attention to the details that truly matter. Whether that means extra playtime, sticking closely to routines, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and relaxed, I put in that extra effort because I know how much they mean to you. Snoopy is like family to me, and that same level of care naturally extends to every dog I look after. Beyond my own home, I am passionate about helping animals in need. I support organizations that assist homeless dogs and cats and have contributed to surgeries and essential care. Being able to make a difference reflects how seriously I take animal care and how much it means to me. My goal is simple. I want your dog to feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away, and I want you to feel confident knowing they are being cared for like they are at a second home. Whether you need dog walking, boarding, daycare, or drop in visits, I have the space, time, and dedication to provide exceptional care and attention.

My baby was having so much fun I was worried he might not want to come home with me! He even got my little stinker to play fetch- something that me, my parents, and a boyfriend haven’t been able to convince him to do since I got him. So glad to have found a place Chance likes to take him when I am not able to take him with me.
