I take safety and consistency seriously and always follow each owner’s instructions as closely as possible. In my home, I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given a routine that feels familiar to them. I’m careful with doors, entrances, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else that could affect their safety. Since I have a 6-year-old child at home, I only accept dogs for boarding or daycare who are comfortable and safe around children. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow the pet’s established routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications if needed, and any house-specific instructions. I also make sure doors and entry points are secure before I leave.

I like to keep each dog’s day relaxed, enjoyable, and appropriate for their age and energy level. For dogs who enjoy being outside, we can take neighborhood walks and enjoy the area around Moraga Commons Park, with plenty of time to sniff and explore rather than rushing through the walk. At home, I can provide playtime with balls and toys, attention, and plenty of downtime when they are ready to relax. For drop-in visits, I typically focus on fresh food and water, a potty break, playtime or companionship, and anything else included in the pet’s normal routine. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who have a calm to moderate energy level, but I’m happy to adjust activities based on each dog’s individual needs.
