Pet care experience

Cozy Boarding & Fun Walks!

Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, and birds. I've been fortunate enough to grow up surrounded by animals, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. Whether it's a high-energy pup, a mellow senior, or a curious cat, I have the experience and passion to provide the care and attention they deserve. Living in a cozy apartment, I make sure that every pet in my care feels at home. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone who will treat your pets like family. My place is perfect for small to medium-sized dogs, and I ensure they get plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. I offer a safe and loving environment for your pets, with lots of personalized attention and care. Whether you need boarding, walking, or drop-in visits, I'm here to make sure your furry friends are happy and well-cared for while you're away. Let's set up a meet and greet to see if we're the perfect fit!

Ernie had such a great time with Lorena and her pups that he didn't even seem fazed that I had returned to pick him up. In fact, he cried when she began to walk away, haha. Lorena provided pics and updates of how Ernie was doing and her response time was fairly fast whenever I had to reach out to her. Would recommend her services and hope that Ernie is welcomed back in the future.

On a typical day, first things first--we take a quick walk outside to take care of business! Next is breakfast, followed by fun games. Mid-morning naps are followed by a nice midday walk. Snacks are always available midday if your puppy requires them. We get dinner around 5 pm or so and then off to our after-dinner walk. A nice evening walk before we go to bed is also provided.
