Pet care experience

I will treat your dog like my own!!

I've had dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand that every dog has a unique personality and deserves individualized care. Since I work from home, I'm able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I love getting to know each dog's routine and personality. Before every stay, I'd like to learn about your dog's favorite activities, toys, treats, sleeping habits, any dislikes or anxieties, and even their favorite spots to be scratched. The more I know, the better I can help them feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. Caring for dogs is truly a passion of mine. I enjoy giving owners peace of mind by knowing their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while they're away. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your best friend behind, so I'll treat your dog like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I ask that dogs are friendly with other dogs and are current on their vaccinations. My goal is to provide a fun, safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both you and your dog.

Safety, trust & environment

The safety and comfort of your pet is my top priority. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own and take the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs. For drop-in visits and walks, I provide dependable, attentive care in your home while respecting your space and following your instructions closely. I make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and receives the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. I currently have two dogs of my own and understand the importance of a secure and positive environment. I always pay attention to details such as doors and gates being properly closed, keeping pets away from unsafe situations, maintaining feeding and medication routines, and watching for changes in behavior or health. Communication is very important to me. I will provide updates and photos after visits so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving loving care while you are away. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate care.

Mark has always had a dog. They are kind of, his "thing". His last few have been rottweilers. If he can handle those horses, he likely can care for any type. ;)

Mark would be an exceptional dog walker or sitter. He has taken care of 2 of my dogs with the utmost care and treats them like his own. He is one of the biggest dog lovers I know. I have seen him with his dogs as well. They are well taken care of and it's obvious how much they are loved. One of his favorite things to do is hang out with his dogs. Your fur babies will be spoiled and loved just as if they were at home.

I can help with potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding routines, fresh water, and giving your dog the attention and companionship they need while you are away. I enjoy getting to know each dog's personality, favorite activities, and daily routine so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. My goal is to make your time away easier by providing dependable care and keeping you updated so you have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Before caring for your dog, I just need to know a few important details to make sure they have a safe and comfortable experience. Please let me know: * Is your dog friendly with other dogs? * Is your dog food aggressive or protective around food, treats, or toys? * Is your dog current on all vaccinations? * Are there any special instructions, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of? Knowing these details helps me provide the best possible care and make sure all pets have a safe, positive experience.
