Pet care experience

A Friendly Face for Your Furry

Hi dog moms and dog dads. I’ve been caring for dogs for 15+ years, trained all my own pups and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I used to have a pack of 3 dogs, 2 large and one small. As a recent dachshund owner, I’m especially mindful of breed-specific needs, including back safety, proper exercise, and supervision. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I prioritize safety, closely monitor dogs during walks and interactions, and always follow the owner’s instructions. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.”

Schedule

I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs so pet care comes natural to me. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets frequent potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day, rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I also an early riser in case your pup is one as well. I also have the ability to bring pups to work with me on certain days.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a secure fenced yard with a doggy door, a dachshund to keep your pup entertained and two crates if you wanted to feel more secure. When pets stay in my home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also send regular photos and videos to owners.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged through a variety of fun activities tailored to their age, energy level, and personality. With my four-month-old dachshund puppy, I spend time going on walks, playing fetch and tug.

One important thing to know about me is that I take caring for someone else’s dog very seriously. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely. My focus is always on safety, comfort, and providing a loving environment where pets feel secure while their owners are away.
