Pet care experience
I began caring for dogs professionally about 6 years ago when I met my husband who is a canine behaviorist. We started with daycare, boarding, walks, house visits, fostering, etc. Then we had our bundle of joy and I knew I could not keep up with 15 dogs a day and a baby. Now she is a toddler and even though we are not looking to board or daycare, I am excited to get back into walking and hiking and swimming with dogs again! I have really seen the largest breeds, smallest breeds, I have handled aggressive or temperamental dogs that require one on one attention, I have walked 6 dogs at time that are leash trained and friendly( leash training is something that can be practiced on our walks as well so no worries if your dog is all over the place..I can help with that too!)
Reviews
Naomi & crew take great care of our Ollie! We are happy that we’ve found someone so reliable and flexible we can take Ollie to on short notice. He always looks so happy to be with the other dogs in the pictures they send. He comes home resting well at night after a day of play.
Today was my dog's second day returning and he was so excited when i pulled up he couldnt wait to get inside. He is really happy at Naomi's home! I truly can see they care about the dogs they take care of here. I trust my dog is here in caring hands
Naomi and Ben have been taking care of my Standard Poodle whenever I needed it for about 3-1/2 years. My dog loves going there and he is cared for so very well! He gets lots of playtime outside, gets any medications when necessary and I feel confident that he is safe and happy. I feel very lucky that they are part of my dog's life!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Having fun is the main focus however I do not let my guard down enough to compromise the safety of anyone. Off leash activities are only in fenced secure areas and I try to keep things easy going but structured. There are so many ways to exercise doggies and sometimes mental stimulation is as affective as physical exercise, so I can get creative with flirt poles and tug games.
