As a middle school special education teacher, I’m home full-time during school breaks, holidays, and summer — which allows me to offer attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I structure my pet care routine around each dog’s specific needs, whether that means frequent potty breaks, scheduled walks, playtime, or quiet rest. I’m also available for in-home sitting and can provide care in your home if your dog is more comfortable in their familiar environment. My schedule is flexible during school breaks, and I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, or special routines when needed.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I offer a secure, fenced-in yard with a doggie door for easy, supervised outdoor access throughout the day. I have two friendly resident dogs — one playful and high energy, the other calm and laid-back — who love the company of other pups. If your dog prefers space or solo time, I can easily separate play areas to meet their needs. Inside, pets are treated like family — welcome on the couch, surrounded by toys, and kept on their regular feeding and potty routines. I monitor all interactions carefully and make sure every dog feels safe, seen, and supported. For in-home care, I follow your routines closely and respect your space as if it were my own. I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home tidy while making sure your pup is relaxed and well cared for.

Information Manda B. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best possible care, I’d love to know about your dog’s personality, routines, and any special needs ahead of time. Please share details like: • Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions • Medication or medical conditions • Crate or potty routines • Social preferences (with other dogs or people) • Triggers, fears, or behavior quirks • Favorite toys, comfort items, or calming strategies I can accommodate most needs and will always do my best to make your pup feel safe, supported, and right at home.

A typical day

Each day is tailored to your dog’s unique routine and personality — whether they’re high-energy and ready to play, or more relaxed and prefer cuddles and quiet time. A typical day includes: • Morning potty break followed by breakfast and playtime • Supervised outdoor time in the fenced yard (with doggie door access for flexible potty breaks) • Midday enrichment like fetch, tug-of-war, or a walk — or calm downtime with belly rubs • Photo/video updates sent to you so you can see your pup is happy and cared for • Evening routines that mirror home schedules — dinner, wind-down, and snuggles before bed If your pup has special preferences, medical needs, or a training plan, I’m happy to follow your instructions closely. My goal is to keep your dog comfortable, happy, and feeling loved while you’re away.

Pet care experience

As a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter, I provide a safe, structured, and loving home-away-from-home for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a full-time middle school special education teacher, patience, consistency, and individualized care are at the heart of everything I do—both in the classroom and with the pets I care for. I understand that every dog is different. Some thrive on play and socialization, while others prefer a quieter environment and extra reassurance. I take the time to learn your dog’s routines, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable, secure, and loved during their stay. 🏡 What Makes My Home Different: • Securely fenced backyard with doggie door access • Frequent potty breaks and supervised outdoor time • Comfortable indoor environment with plenty of attention and affection • Flexible accommodations based on your dog’s needs and comfort level • Two friendly resident dogs for socialization opportunities, with separate spaces available if preferred • Consistent routines to help dogs feel safe and at home I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your dog loves to play, enjoys relaxing in the sun, or prefers staying close to people, I tailor their stay to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. During school breaks, holidays, and summers, I am home throughout the day, allowing for additional supervision, companionship, and individualized attention. ⏰ Boarding Hours Drop-Off: 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM Pick-Up: 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM Please provide an estimated arrival time when booking and send a message when you are on your way. Arrivals and departures outside of boarding hours are not available unless specifically approved in advance. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That’s why I prioritize clear communication and provide regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I treat every dog like a member of my own family and strive to make their stay as comfortable, fun, and stress-free as possible.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies over Christmas. Your thoughtfulness in sending daily pictures truly made our days brighter, and we are so grateful that you chose to spend your time with them instead of with your own family. We also deeply appreciate how you looked after our home with such extra care. You have given us the greatest gift of all—peace of mind, knowing that our beloved doggies were in the best possible hands. Thank you for being such a blessing in our lives.
