Pet care experience
A Happe Home Away From Home 🐾
Sit. Stay. Vacation. While you’re away, your dog is enjoying a vacation of their own. 🐶🏝️ I’ve had dogs my entire life, have a long history of watching other people’s pets and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Caring for dogs has always been a part of my daily life, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether that’s sticking to their routine, going on walks, playing, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Professionally, I spent several years managing multiple businesses and leading teams, where reliability, communication, and attention to detail were essential every day. You can expect prompt communication, regular photo updates, and dependable care from start to finish.

Schedule
My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide personalized care throughout the day. Whether your dog needs walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals on a consistent schedule, or simply companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the attention they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing while you’re away. *I send pictures at least once DAILY, via your preferred contact method, my profile says 50% that is inaccurate*
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is shared with three friendly, social dogs: Phoebe, a 7-year-old 5-pound Pomeranian; Daisy, a playful 1½-year-old 40-pound fox hound mix; and Leo, a gentle 10-year-old 35-pound Border Collie. All three are accustomed to other dogs of all sizes and are crate trained. I have a securely fenced huge yard for supervised outdoor play and maintain a clean, pet-friendly home. Every dog is different, so I require a meet-and-greet before boarding or daycare to ensure everyone is comfortable and it’s a good fit. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions—and provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. My home is set up specifically with dogs in mind, giving them plenty of space to play, relax, and feel at home. I also have a dedicated quiet room with soft lighting and calming music where dogs can nap, decompress, or enjoy one-on-one attention whenever they need a break. I carefully supervise group play, separate dogs when appropriate, and follow each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions to help every stay feel safe, familiar, and stress-free. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll care for your pet and your home with the same attention and respect I give my own.
Pets
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor the day to their energy level and routine. We’ll enjoy walks, supervised playtime in my fenced yard, enrichment activities, cuddle time, and plenty of opportunities to rest. I stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, medications, and bedtime so they feel comfortable and secure. Throughout their stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can see all the fun they’re having.

- I’d love to learn about your pet before their visit! Please let me know about their personality, daily routine, energy level, training, medical needs, allergies, medications, and any fears or triggers. If your dog has experience with other dogs, please let me know how they typically interact. My goal is to provide a safe, low-stress environment where every pet can feel comfortable, confident, and right at home.
