Your Dog’s New Best Friend

Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or would rather spend the day cuddled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they are. As a dog owner myself, I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your dog with someone else. That’s why I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, administering oral medications, and sticking to your dog’s normal routine. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Schedule

work from home most of the week, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I also have the flexibility to work from other locations if needed, so I can still make your pet’s care a priority. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away, just like they would at home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have two friendly dogs of my own who love having new friends to play with. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily accommodate that as well. My neighborhood is great for walks, and I’m also close to a dog park for pups who enjoy getting out and exploring.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of love, playtime, and exercise! We'll go on walks around my neighborhood and explore the nearby dog park or neighborhood, where your pup can enjoy lots of new sights and smells. I love keeping dogs mentally engaged with games, enrichment activities, and plenty of positive attention.

Please let me know about your pet's personality, daily routine, energy level, and any medical needs, allergies, or medications. I'd also like to know about any fears, anxieties, or behaviors such as leash pulling, resource guarding, or reactivity toward other people or animals. I welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes, and knowing these details ahead of time helps me provide the safest, most comfortable experience possible for your pet.
