I work remotely from home! My daily schedule is designed to provide consistent care, exercise such as off leash adventure, and plenty of love while they stay with me. Each day is filled with extra fun, like off-leash adventures and plenty of personalized attention. I ensure each pup feels right at home, whether they love playtime, relaxation, or a mix of both!

Information Khaytlen H. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care possible, I’d love to know a few key details about your pup before their stay: Routine & Preferences – What’s their daily schedule like? Any special quirks or favorite activities? Diet & Feeding – Meal times, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions or allergies. Exercise Needs – How active are they? Do they enjoy long walks, off-leash play, or just lounging? Social Behavior – How do they interact with other dogs, new people, or different environments? Health & Medications – Any medical conditions, required medications, or special care instructions? Comfort & Anxiety – Do they have separation anxiety, fear of thunderstorms, or need a special bedtime routine? Training & Commands – Are there specific commands or behaviors you’re working on? The more I know about your pup, the better I can tailor their experience to ensure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable!

A typical day

Whether your pup loves outdoor adventures, interactive play, or just lounging with a human friend, I tailor the experience to their personality. My goal is to make them feel at home, loved, and entertained while you're away!

Pet care experience

***I specialize in large and or dominant breeds such as Pit Bulls, Cane Corsos, German Shepherds, Huskies, and Dobermans. Additionally, I have extensive experience handling pets of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and special care needs, including paraplegic dogs, puppies young as 8 weeks old, and those that are undersocialized or anxious.*** Tailored Services for Every Stage of Life 🐾🐶 Whether it’s a playful puppy needing extra training, a senior dog requiring gentle care, or a high energy pup that loves off leash adventures, I customize my services to fit each pet’s unique needs. For first time clients, I offer a meet and greet to establish a connection and understand your pet’s specific requirements. My pricing reflects my years of experience with dominant dog breeds ensuring you receive quality care from a knowledgeable and skilled dog owner. I also provide daily structured or off leash adventures (for dogs with reliable recall) during their time with me, ensuring they receive the exercise and stimulation they need. You can trust that you will get exceptional value for your investment. What Sets Me Apart? 🐾 Puppy Training Program & Early Socialization • I offer a comprehensive puppy training program that utilizes positive reinforcement techniques. This structured program helps puppies learn basic commands, leash manners, and good social behaviors with my pack. Early socialization is a key component; I create opportunities for puppies to interact with various environments, people, and other dogs, ensuring they grow into well adjusted adults ready to face the world confidently. 🐾 Off-Leash Adventures • For dogs with reliable recall, I offer safe, supervised off leash hikes and outings. These adventures keep them engaged, exercised, and mentally stimulated, providing a healthy outlet for their energy. 🐾 Senior & Special Needs Care • I have experience caring for older pets, including administering medications and providing extra TLC for those requiring special attention. Each senior pet receives the gentle care and understanding they need. 🐾 Customized Care • Whether your pet loves cuddle time, interactive play, or structured walks, I adapt my approach to their comfort and personality. Every pet is treated as an individual, ensuring a tailored experience. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! 🐶🐾💙

Khaythlen is so much more than a dog boarder or sitter. She understands dogs and advocates from the dogs perspective so you can become a better dog owner. She communicative and responsive. She took exceptional care of our reactive cattle dog, and I felt completely at ease having my dog in her care.

Khaytlen truly cared for my pet. She had seatbelts for pickup, provided regular updates, took care of messes, and followed all instructions as well as provided exercise and brushing. She was a great sitter.

Khaytlen took outstanding care of our boys. They received lots of walks, and even a few adventures to the beach which the pup loved. She also brought in our mail and packages for us, and even went above and beyond by sweeping - what a pleasant surprise to come home to no dog hair tumbleweeds! We were nervous leaving our home and dogs to someone we only met once, but her reviews are spot on. She is excellent with dogs, and takes equally good care of the home with overnight stays. A+++ Thank you - we will be rebooking in the future for sure.
