I have loved and taken care of dogs of all sizes for most of my life. I have adopted many rescues and provided foster care for the country animal shelter. I provide care for all dogs (puppies-to-seniors, small or big, rescues, etc.), bearded drag dragons and I am very passionate about their comfort. I provide daily pictures and videos, and spontaneous video calls welcomed.

Melissa has been a close family friend for years, and she's always treated my dog like one of her own. Our dogs have had countless playdates together, and she would even include mine in walks and activities with her own dogs. Whenever I'm out of town, I never have to worry because I know he's with family! My little Pomeranian adores his giant friends.

Growing up, there was never a time when our home didn’t have dogs, and my mom, Melissa, is the reason I developed such a deep love and respect for animals. She has always had a natural gift for caring for them and has opened her home to dogs of all breeds and personalities over the years, who became part of the family. Friends, family, and neighbors have long known her for the compassion and attention she gives to every animal in her care. As I got older and developed a passion for exotic animals, she hopped on board and learned how to help care for my bearded dragons. I fully trust her to care for my animals, and yours <3.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, doggie door and 3 dogs of my own that love having daily or even overnight friends. I prefer not to crate unless that is your desire. Doggies go in and out at their will and do not have any restricted areas in my home.
