Availability
Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I provide daycare Monday through Friday and boarding based on availability, intentionally keeping my client numbers small so each dog receives plenty of individual attention, supervision, playtime, and rest. I also offer house sitting for pets who are happiest staying in their own home. Because I may have daycare clients during the day, house-sitting pets should be comfortable with me being away during my normal working hours. When appropriate and arranged in advance, some house-sitting dogs may also be able to accompany me to daycare. I limit bookings and coordinate my schedule carefully so I can maintain each pet’s normal feeding, potty, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines. My goal is to provide reliable care without overbooking myself or compromising the attention any pet receives.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort are always my priorities. In my home, dogs are supervised and introduced thoughtfully rather than simply placed together. I keep my number of clients intentionally small, which allows me to monitor interactions, recognize when a dog needs a break, and provide separate spaces for feeding, resting, or decompression when needed. My home has a securely fenced 6-foot yard for supervised outdoor time. I also have secure containment options available when needed and never assume that a new dog can safely be left loose with other dogs. Each new family begins with a Meet & Greet so I can learn about your dog’s personality, play style, routine, boundaries, and any behaviors I should be aware of before their first stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the household and pet-care instructions provided to me as closely as possible. I respect your pet’s established routine as well as your home, including instructions regarding doors, gates, walks, feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, and home security. I’m also careful about entry and exit to help prevent escapes. Whether your pet stays with me or I stay with them, I believe good care means paying attention. I monitor behavior, appetite, energy level, bathroom habits, interactions, and overall comfort and will communicate with you if I notice something unusual. My goal is to provide an environment where both you and your pet can feel secure and comfortable.

Information Kyra R. would like to know about your pet
The more I know about your pet ahead of time, the better I can care for them! Please tell me about their normal routine, personality, likes and dislikes, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, medical needs, and any training or behavioral goals you’re currently working on. I also want to know about any behaviors that could affect their safety or care—even if they seem minor at home. This includes separation anxiety, resource guarding, reactivity, escape attempts, destructive behavior, counter surfing, excessive barking, marking, difficulty settling, crate anxiety, or a history of conflict with other animals or people. There’s no judgment; I would much rather know beforehand so I can plan appropriately. Please also let me know how your dog typically interacts with other dogs, their preferred play style, and whether there are situations that make them uncomfortable or overwhelmed. For house sitting, I’ll also need to know your pet’s usual potty/walk schedule, how long they’re comfortable being left alone, where they normally sleep, any household boundaries, and anything else that helps keep their routine as normal as possible. Every pet has their quirks! Knowing about them ahead of time helps me provide safer, more comfortable, and more individualized care.
A typical day
Every day is tailored to the dog in front of me! Some dogs would happily play fetch or wrestle with a friend all day, while others think the perfect vacation involves a comfy couch, a good nap, and following me from room to room. For dogs staying in my home, a typical day includes plenty of supervised outdoor time in our fenced yard, playtime with compatible friends, games of fetch, toys, enrichment, and—just as importantly—scheduled opportunities to rest and decompress. I adjust activities based on each dog’s age, energy level, play style, and individual needs rather than expecting every dog to follow the same routine. When I’m house sitting, I try to keep your pet’s day as familiar as possible while still making our time together fun. That might include walks, backyard play, fetch, toys, enrichment, cuddles, or simply hanging out together depending on what your pet normally enjoys. If they have a favorite game, walking route, bedtime ritual, or other activity, tell me about it! Whether we’re having an energetic play day or a professional-level couch-potato day, my goal is for your pet to have a fun, comfortable day that fits them.

Where Your Pets Are Family
Pet care experience
I provide small-scale, individualized pet care with a focus on keeping each pet safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ve been providing pet care since 2012, beginning with house sitting and eventually expanding my experience to include operating my own pet-care business. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs-from energetic puppies and social butterflies to seniors and dogs who need a little extra time and patience to feel comfortable. I intentionally keep the number of pets in my care limited so I can get to know each one as an individual. I pay close attention to body language, play styles, rest needs, feeding routines, medications, and all the little quirks that make each pet unique. I offer daycare and boarding in my home, as well as house sitting and drop-in care in clients’ homes. For pets who are happiest in familiar surroundings, in-home care allows them to maintain their usual environment and routine while their family is away. My goal isn’t simply to keep your pet occupied until you return. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in attentive hands.
Reviews
Great location with big backyard
Thank you for taking such great care of Bentley while we were away. Knowing our pup is being taken care of and loved when we’re not around is always reassuring ♥️
Thanks for taking such great care of Bella! You are our go to dog sitter!
Our pups were so well taken care of! Kyra was very communicative and took great photos to send us :)
