I currently work full time from home so doggie day care is definitely doable! My day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends have potential as well with pre-arranged time and notice.

Information Nancy F. would like to know about your pet

Keep me informed of owies, meds and allergies. I will be certain to take special care as needed. I also know that, just like people, some days your pup just isn’t feeling it. If so, we’ll take it slow and encourage rest time.

A typical day

I have a doggie door so your dogs will have free range to come in and out which they seem to love. When I take breaks from working we can play a game of tug or play fetch. We have a kiddie pool for those hot summer days and of course we’ll have treat breaks once in a while!

All in for the tail wags & kisses

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours.

We had a great experience boarding with Nancy! My pup enjoyed the fenced in backyard, playing, and care she got while there and she came back happy and tired. We would book with Nancy again :)

Nancy was truly the best that I could ever ask for my fur baby. She went out of her way to help lahni and me to be the most comfortable during Lahni’s stay, including pictures, videos, doggy friend time, and transportation. I will absolutely be using her in the future.

Nancy was fantastic and took great care of my baby boy! She was very attentive to his needs, especially giving him his medication multiple times a day. She understands dog behavior and has a pet friendly home. I appreciated the updates with pictures and would definitely recommend her!

Highly recommend Nancy!! She ensured both pups had so much fun and did the things they enjoyed the most. Jack and Finn made 2 new friends that were so welcoming as well. Nancy was the perfect match for our pups and she will be for yours too!!
