Pet care experience

Dedicated Pet Care • Charlotte NC

I grew up on a farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals. Today I provide calm, dependable care in my home for dogs who are treated like part of the family. I specialize in caring for Maltese, Poodles, and Doodles, but I welcome many friendly dogs of all breeds. I also have experience with senior dogs, administering medications, and caring for pets with special needs. Because I have a senior Maltese of my own, I cannot accept aggressive breeds. Because I spend most of my time at home, your dog receives plenty of attention throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. I have a clean, non-smoking home and share it with my two Poodles and senior Maltese. I have a secure, fenced backyard with a gated entrance for safe outdoor play. Dogs enjoy scheduled potty breaks, supervised playtime, and a calm, structured environment. Whether your dog prefers to relax around the house or is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate their routine. One thing that makes my home different is that I only accept one family’s pets at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention in a quiet, low-stress environment where your dog can feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Schedule

I am retired, which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I intentionally schedule my days around the dogs in my care. My home is clean, calm, smoke-free, and shared with my two friendly Poodles and senior Maltese.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a securely fenced backyard with a gated entrance, and I maintain a calm, structured environment with scheduled meals, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of supervision. I accept only one client family at a time, allowing every dog to receive individualized attention while minimizing stress and overstimulation.

Pets

A typical day

Every day includes supervised outdoor play, potty breaks, enrichment, affection, and plenty of time to relax indoors. Walks are provided as needed, and I tailor each dog’s routine to their age, energy level, and individual needs. Senior and special-needs dogs are always given extra patience and quiet time.

I like to learn about your dog’s normal routine, personality, preferences, and any special needs before their stay. The more I know, the more closely I can maintain the routine they’re used to, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and at home while you’re away.
