Pet care experience

big dog lover

I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love spending time with them! I have 3+ years of professional dog grooming experience, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also work with animals every day, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy. I have two dogs of my own, and my home has always had a dog in it. I’m reliable, patient, and consistent, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them like one of my own!

Schedule

I am currently a full time dog groomer, working 9-5, Friday-Tuesday. I am able to check in with your pup at least twice a day. Before and after work. For any type of visit, I’m happy to tailor the time to your pup’s needs! We can go on a 30-minute walk, play some fun games, enjoy some cuddles, or just relax together. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a more laid-back visit, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

At my home, I have a decent-sized fenced backyard with turf where pups can safely enjoy some outdoor playtime. If your pup is high-energy, we can spend time outside playing and getting some exercise. If they’re more relaxed, they’re welcome to stay inside, cuddle up, and chill. For visits at your home, I can take your pup on a walk, play games, give them plenty of attention, or simply hang out with them depending on their energy level and what they enjoy most. My goal is to make every visit fun, comfortable, and tailored to your pup’s needs! 🐾

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping dogs happy and entertained with walks, fetch, tug-of-war, sniff games, enrichment toys, and outdoor adventures! I’m also happy to spend time cuddling and relaxing with pups who prefer a slower pace. I always try to match activities to each dog’s personality and energy level. I love going on walks and runs myself, so depending on your pups energy level we could do either to meet their exercise needs!

Before caring for your pup, I’d love to know about any important details that will help me give them the best care possible. This includes any allergies, medications, known health conditions, or special needs. I’d also appreciate knowing their usual feeding schedule, along with any other routines or preferences they have. The more I know, the more comfortable and well cared for your pup will be! 🐾
