Pet care experience
Experienced Dog Professional
I’m an experienced dog professional with years of hands on experience caring for, raising, and working with dogs. I own and operate a preservation breeding program specializing in Giant Schnauzers, so daily dog care is already a major part of my life. I have extensive experience with puppies, large breeds, feeding routines, crate training, basic obedience, socialization, administering routine care, and recognizing changes in a dog’s behavior or needs. I’m home full time, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, supervision, exercise, enrichment, and individual attention throughout the day. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I work to keep their stay as comfortable and consistent with home as possible. I intentionally keep my boarding capacity limited so that dogs in my care receive personal attention rather than being one of many animals in a large facility. Safety, cleanliness, structure, and communication with owners are priorities for me. I’m comfortable caring for both small and large dogs and understand the additional handling and management needs of powerful breeds. Whether your dog is staying for a weekend or an extended vacation, my goal is to provide a safe, structured, comfortable environment where you can feel confident leaving them.

Schedule
Pet care is already part of my daily routine, so your dog will receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m home full-time and available seven days a week for boarding. My days include regular potty breaks, feeding, supervised playtime, exercise, enrichment, rest periods, and individual attention. I intentionally keep my boarding capacity limited so each guest receives consistent, personalized care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, cleanliness, and structure are extremely important in my home. I have a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of space for dogs to relax comfortably. Guest dogs are supervised and can be separated or crated when appropriate for their safety and comfort. I follow each owner’s feeding schedule, medications, routines, and care instructions closely. Introductions are handled carefully, and dogs are never forced to interact. My goal is to provide a clean, structured, loving environment where every dog feels safe and their owner has peace of mind.
Pets
A typical day
My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, happy, and at home. We will enjoy supervised playtime, outdoor time, walks, enrichment activities, plenty of potty breaks, and lots of individual attention. I also make sure each dog has time to relax and rest throughout the day.

- Please let me know about your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, temperament, energy level, and any special needs. I also need to know about any history of aggression, resource guarding, separation anxiety, escape behaviors, or reactivity toward people or other dogs. This helps me provide the safest and most comfortable stay possible.
