Trusted and Loving Pet Care

I've been caring for pets for over 15 years and understand that every animal has their own personality and routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and know how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pet while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I'll follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet like one of my own. I know how much peace of mind matters when you're away, so I'll provide regular photo updates and messages after each visit. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, well-cared-for pet.

Schedule

As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet is staying with me for boarding, spending the day with me, or just needs a drop-in visit, I'll do my best to keep them on their normal routine. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and over 15 years of experience caring for pets. My home includes two young children, a gentle senior dog, and two cats. Because every pet has different comfort levels, I can keep pets separated when needed and will always introduce animals slowly and carefully if interaction is appropriate. I'll follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is here for boarding, daycare, or I'm stopping by for a drop-in visit, they'll receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning potty break, breakfast (if it's part of your pet's routine), and some one-on-one attention. Throughout the day, pets enjoy supervised outdoor time in our fully fenced yard, playtime, walks if requested, and plenty of opportunities to relax inside with the family. I believe in keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible, so I'll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a cozy nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Throughout their stay, I'll send regular photo updates so you can see how much fun they're having and have peace of mind while you're away.

Every pet is unique, so I'd love to learn as much as possible before their stay or visit! Please let me know about your pet's daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, fears, and any behaviors I should be aware of. If they're crate trained, have house rules, or prefer a certain sleeping arrangement, I'd like to know that too. If your pet will be boarding or attending daycare, please also let me know how they do around children, other dogs, and cats. My home includes two young children, a gentle senior dog, and two cats, though I can keep pets separated when needed to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can make their time with me feel like a home away from home!
