Availability

Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, as I have a highly flexible schedule and can prioritize walks, exercise, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day and week. This allows me to be reliable with timing, adapt to pets’ needs, and accommodate both recurring care and last-minute requests.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in my home by following their routine closely so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get proper exercise and enrichment, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I keep the home clean, handle litter or waste, monitor behavior and health, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.

Information Michael K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical requirements, or specific behaviors I should account for. Because I have a small child at home, I do require that client dogs belong to breeds and have temperaments that are completely non-aggressive.

A typical day

Morning: Breakfast, followed by a walk or park trip where Henri (my friendly helper dog) breaks the ice. Mid-Day: Brain puzzles, social learning, and a relaxing midday nap. Evening: A wind-down walk, dinner, and group couch cuddles. Fun Activities with Henri Social Play & Park Trips: High-energy games of tug-of-war, chase, and fetch. If the dog has reliable recall, we can safely play fetch off-leash at the park. Gentle Companionship: Henri loves to play but instinctively respects boundaries, providing quiet company if the client dog is shy or independent. Enrichment: Interactive treat hunts and exploring new, scent-filled walking trails together.

Where Dogs Become Family

Pet care experience

I provide a highly attentive, structured environment where your dog becomes part of the family, ensuring they get everything they need and more. A Welcoming, Social Home: I have a friendly dog who loves company and a daughter who adores dogs, meaning your pet will receive constant affection and socialization. Versatile & Specialized Care: I confidently handle a wide variety of dogs. My experience includes training young pets with positive reinforcement and providing patient, dedicated senior care. Constant Attention: Thanks to a highly flexible schedule, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive consistent supervision, exercise, and tailored care.
