Daycare Service: I generally only take 1 dog per day, unless dogs happen to already live together (siblings for instance). I do this in order to provide the best experience and time with your pets. Please note that current fee is set for UP TO 8 hours of care. There is an additional charge added beyond 8 hours, if required. In my home, I provide a low-stress environment designed for the comfort of smaller breeds (under 30 lbs). Since I have two small-breed dogs myself, I ensure vet records are up to date and request the same of visitors. I provide frequent photo updates so you can see their 'day at the garden' in real-time. For Drop-In Visits (Cats & Dogs): For home visits, my priority is maintaining your pet’s existing routine to minimize anxiety. For Dogs: I focus on a productive potty break, fresh water, and a 'sniffari' (a mental-stimulation walk) or indoor play. For Cats: I focus on their specific social needs—whether they want active play with a wand or just a calm presence nearby while I refresh their food and litter. I always perform a home security check before leaving (ensuring doors are locked and water bowls are full) and leave a detailed 'petdate' on how they behaved and what we did. Dog Walking: Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level and the weather. Growing up on a farm, I am hyper-aware of animal body language and surroundings. I practice 'defensive walking,' meaning I am always scanning for other off-leash dogs or distractions to keep your pup safe. I also pay close attention to Shreveport’s heat; I check pavement temperatures and ensure we stay hydrated and shaded. After our walk, I’ll wipe their paws and make sure they are settled back in safely.
