I am comfortable caring for all kinds of dogs and have cared for many breeds of dog, including giant and toy breeds. I've found that they all have uniquely endearing qualities, but often different needs. Before providing daytime care for your dog I'd love to find out about any allergies, fears, their energy level, temperament around strange dogs and people, as well as any special toys, favorite treats, and preferred walking destinations! If you are interested in arranging dog-daycare or an overnight stay I'd also like to know how your pet reacts to cats. I've had success setting up a baby-gate to block over-zealous pets from chasing my 2 cats, and I can prepare a plan for your pooch if you're unsure of how they'll react around felines.

I enjoy personalizing each dog's activities to their unique needs. I often go on multiple-mile hikes with my high energy pooch on the trails at Tryon Creek State Natural Area, or to visit the Gabriel dog park to socialize and play, and if your dog is also an energetic-socialite he would join us on these adventures. Other possible adventures could include enjoying hours of supervised outdoor exploration on my 1/3 of an acre property, leisurely walks to nearby Garden-Home park or Fanno-Creek trail, and long games of fetch, tug, or soccer.
