Safety, trust & environment

I’m conscious and attentive and will check in regularly with you, and make sure your pet is safe and cared for. I can hold boundaries if you’re actively training your dog but also don’t mind when they prefer to sleep on the bed or cuddle with me on the couch

Please let me know about any medications, sensitivities, and reactivity towards cars, other dogs so that I can ensure your pets are safe and cared for!

A typical day

I do my best to adhere to your pets regular schedule when it comes to walk or play times to ease any anxiety they might have while you’re away! I will always set up a meet and greet so I can see the yard/ toys/ crate/ living anrea and get a feel for their routines.
