Pet care experience

Attentive care from a dog mom

I have 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my family dog from puppyhood through his senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic bathing, maintaining a pet’s normal routine, and providing plenty of affection and supervision. As a biomedical PhD student, I’m responsible, observant, organized, and attentive to details. I provide owners with regular updates and photos, and I currently host only one small or medium dog at a time so each pet receives calm, individualized care.

Schedule

I’m a biomedical PhD student with a structured weekday schedule, and I primarily offer boarding on weekends when I can provide more consistent supervision and attention. During a stay, I plan feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks around each dog’s usual routine. On weekdays, dogs may need to be comfortable alone for up to 4–8 hours.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a clean, smoke-free apartment with no children or resident pets. I host only one small or medium dog at a time so I can provide individualized care in a calm environment. Dogs are taken outside on leash for all walks and potty breaks. I carefully follow feeding, medication, crate, and household instructions, keep unsafe items secured, and provide regular photo and message updates. A meet-and-greet is preferred before the first booking.

A typical day

A typical day includes scheduled meals, regular potty breaks, short walks during safe daylight hours, indoor play, enrichment, affection, and plenty of time to rest. Walk length and activity level will be adjusted for your dog’s age, health, personality, and the weather. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing.

Please tell me about your dog’s feeding and potty schedule, medications, allergies, health conditions, separation anxiety, crate routine, and any behaviors such as pulling, chewing, marking, resource guarding, or reactivity toward people or animals. I also need to know how long your dog can comfortably be left alone and whether they are fully house-trained. Honest details help me provide safe, individualized care.
