Paws-itively the Best Care in Town

DOGGY DAY CARE [only 1 spot avail. for cat-friendly small/medium sized dogs] I’ve been caring for my family’s dogs since I was a teenager, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog body language and their unique needs. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages, and I have hands-on experience with training, including basic commands and leash manners. What truly sets me apart is my patience and calm approach—whether I’m working with an energetic puppy or a senior dog who needs a little extra care, I always tailor my approach to make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and understood. I also have experience with reptiles and small animals—from feeding routines to habitat care. If you have non-traditional pets at home, I’m happy to assist with them too!”

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Here’s how I approach pet care in both settings: In My Home: • Safe and Welcoming Environment: I ensure my home is pet-friendly, removing any potential hazards and providing cozy spaces for rest and play. • Consistent Routine: I maintain a regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime to help pets feel secure and reduce anxiety. • Personalized Attention: Understanding that each pet has its own personality and preferences, I adapt activities and interactions to suit their individual needs. In Client’s Home: • Respect for Home and Rules: I adhere strictly to the homeowner’s guidelines, ensuring pets follow their usual routines and house rules. • Home Security: Before leaving, I double-check that all doors, windows, and, if applicable, fence gates are securely closed to keep pets safe and maintain home security. • Emergency Preparedness: I keep a list of emergency contacts, including the pet’s regular veterinarian and the nearest animal hospital, to act swiftly if any health issues arise. In both scenarios, I focus on providing loving care and companionship, ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable in their surroundings.

Nayke took great care of our two cats. He was on time with meals, played with them every day, and kept in great communication. We would definitely rebook with him in the future.

Schedule

I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to each pet. I’m able to provide the attention they deserve and can easily accommodate last-minute bookings or changes. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—it’s something I look forward to every day.
