Safety, trust & environment

I’m happy to stay at your home to care for your dog in their environment. Or, can host your dog at my home where I have a yard for them to play and can they can spend time with me in my home. For higher energy, dogs, or those looking for more exercise, I am an avid hiker, and I’m able to take them with me leashed into the woods.

A typical day

When I watch pets, I like to make sure they’re having as much fun as they are safe and comfortable! I’d plan activities based on their personality and energy level — for playful pets, we’d do things like fetch, tug-of-war, or agility games in the yard. For curious ones, I’d set up puzzle toys or go on sniff-and-explore walks to keep their minds active. If they’re more relaxed, we’d enjoy cozy cuddle time, gentle brushing, or a calm walk around the neighborhood. I’d also spend time giving them attention, talking to them, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owner is away. 🐾

Before watching someone’s pets, it’s really important to learn a few key details so I can care for them safely and keep them happy. Here’s what I would like to know ahead of time: Daily routine: Feeding times, walk schedules, playtime habits, and bedtime routines. Diet and treats: What they eat, how much, and if there are any foods or treats to avoid. Medical needs: Any medications, allergies, health conditions, or emergency vet info. Behavior and temperament: How they react to new people, other animals, or loud noises; any fears, quirks, or triggers. Training and rules: Commands they know, areas of the house they can or can’t go, and behavior expectations. Favorite things: Toys, games, or comfort items that make them feel relaxed and happy. Emergency contacts: The owner’s contact info and the name of their veterinarian. Knowing these details helps me give personalized care and keeps the pets safe, comfortable, and content while their owner is away.
