Loving Care When You Can’t Be There

Leaving your dog with someone new is a big deal. I know you want someone who will not only keep them safe, but also understand their personality, routines, and individual needs. My experience with dogs has taught me that every pup is different, and good care means meeting them where they are. I have experience raising and caring for puppies, so I’m comfortable with all of the patience, consistency, supervision, and energy that comes with them. From potty-training and crate routines to redirecting unwanted behaviors, keeping them entertained, and helping them learn boundaries, I understand that puppies require a lot of attention and structure. I also have experience with dogs who are nervous, fearful, or anxious. I know that not every dog is immediately comfortable with a new person or environment, and I never want to force interaction before they’re ready. I’m comfortable taking things slowly, giving them space when they need it, and building trust at their own pace. On the other hand, I absolutely love working with energetic, playful dogs who need more than just a quick walk around the block. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a game of fetch, playtime, mental stimulation, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to give them the attention and activity they need. I’m also comfortable with dogs who have big personalities. I understand that excitement, nervousness, stubbornness, curiosity, and high energy can all show up differently from dog to dog. My goal is always to learn what makes your pup comfortable and make their time with me feel as positive and stress-free as possible. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine, preferences, quirks, and needs so I can care for them the way you would. At the end of the day, I want your pup to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll give them the same patience, attention, and love I’d want someone to give my own dogs. 🐶🤍

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I always make sure to follow their routine exactly as outlined—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or special rules. I prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on doors, leashes, and anything that could pose a risk, and I give regular updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would with you.

Schedule

Because I work from my phone, I have the flexibility to give pets my full attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to be present for frequent walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of cuddles. Pet care easily fits into my routine since I can adjust my work around their needs.

I like to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medications they may need. It’s also important to know about their energy level, favorite activities, and any quirks or behaviors (like leash pulling, separation anxiety, or being shy around new people/other dogs). If your pet has triggers, allergies, or special needs, I want to know that too so I can keep them safe, happy, and comfortable.
