Tiny Dog Specialist | <15 lbs

I specialize in caring for tiny dogs weighing 15 pounds and under. As a tiny-dog owner, I understand that little dogs have different needs. I pay close attention to secure harnesses, hot pavement, larger neighborhood dogs, escape risks, senior mobility, and each dog’s individual comfort level. I offer private walks and drop-in visits tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and routine. I do not walk large groups of unfamiliar dogs together. Your dog gets calm, personal attention. For drop-in visits, I can provide potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and routine care based on your instructions. I welcome meet-and-greets so I can learn your dog’s personality, habits, fears, favorite things, and normal routine before care begins. I serve tiny-dog families in Sanderson, Glen St. Mary, Macclenny, and nearby areas of Baker County. Pick up and drop off available for a nominal fee. Little dogs. Personal care. Peace of mind.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, unhurried care for your tiny dog. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and scheduled pet care throughout the week. Because I keep my client list intentionally small, I can give each dog plenty of individual attention and follow the routine that makes them feel most comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is especially important with tiny dogs. I pay close attention to secure harnesses, gates, doors, hot pavement, larger dogs, and other risks that can be more serious for a small dog. I follow your feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions carefully and never force interaction with unfamiliar dogs. My goal is calm, secure, individualized care that helps both you and your dog feel comfortable.

Pets

A typical day

Every tiny dog is different, so I tailor the day to your dog rather than expecting your dog to fit a set routine. Depending on age and energy level, we may enjoy a relaxed walk, supervised outdoor time, play, enrichment activities, plenty of sniffing, and lots of affection. Senior and lower-energy dogs are welcome to enjoy a slower pace with extra rest and companionship.

I would like to know your dog’s normal routine, personality, energy level, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, fears, and any special needs. Please also tell me about leash behavior, reactions to other dogs or people, escape tendencies, and anything that helps your dog feel safe and comfortable. I specialize in tiny dogs 15 pounds and under, so I want to understand the little details that make your dog unique. Oh, and what is the treat requirement? We tend to be on demand in our house. Who can resist those eyes? 🥰
