Safety, trust & environment

For me, it’s their stay, their way! They lead me on their walks, so I allow them to safely do what they want, within reason of course. I might even bring them along for a walk request and make a new friend! Pet stores are a given. They will be safe and well fed. i have a 6 year old who loves pups and, he can’t wait to make a new friend.

A typical day

I like to keep dogs active and happy based on their personality and energy level. We go on walks, play fetch, tug of war, and other interactive games. I also provide plenty of cuddle time, treats (with owner approval), enrichment activities, and outdoor play when possible. For social dogs, I enjoy taking them to dog friendly parks or on adventures, and for calmer dogs, I focus on relaxing activities and one on one attention to make them feel comfortable and loved while they’re in my care.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Lakeema! From the moment Winter arrived, I knew she was in great hands, but Lakeema exceeded every expectation. She treated Winter like one of her own, and it was clear that Winter absolutely fell in love with her and her family. Throughout the stay, I received updates that gave me so much peace of mind, and when I picked Winter up, she came home happy, relaxed, and literally smiling. It was obvious she had been showered with love, attention, and care the entire time. What truly touched my heart was the kindness Lakeema showed me as well. She even surprised me with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful gesture and completely unexpected. That level of care and generosity speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. As a dog mom, finding someone you trust with your fur baby is priceless, and I can confidently say Winter has found her sitter for life. We are so grateful for Lakeema and her wonderful family, and I know Winter is already looking forward to her next visit! Thank you, Lakeema, for loving Winter like your own. ❤️🐾🎂
