Hi! I’m Liv—a lifelong animal lover, treat dispenser, and professional belly rubber. I’ve been obsessed with dogs since I was 11, and I currently share my life with a scruffy little terrier mix who thinks he runs the household (he’s not wrong). My husband and I adore him—and yes, we’re those people who plan their day around the dog. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at shelters around the world, cuddled pups in three continents, and hosted more playdates than I can count. I mostly care for small to medium-sized dogs (under 25 lbs), and there are usually a few other pups hanging out during the day—think slumber party vibes but with more squeaky toys. Everyone here is friendly, vaccinated, and ready to play! I’ve got intermediate training experience and feel totally comfortable handling dogs with big personalities (and even bigger zoomies). Whether your pup is a social butterfly or more of a low-key couch potato, I meet them where they are—with love, patience, and maybe a treat or two. Okay, probably three. 🦴 A day in the life here includes 🦴 • Walks every 3–4 hours (30–40 mins each) • Lots of outdoor playtime and neighborhood exploring • Enriching activities (sniffari walks, basic training games, flirt poles if they’re into it!) • Nap spots galore • A toy collection that rivals a small pet store • And plenty of cuddles (consensual, of course) Weather permitting, I also love taking the gang on mini hikes or nature walks—though we skip Westridge Trail on Tuesdays and Thursdays since it’s still closed post-fire. Safety and comfort always come first. If your dog doesn’t have dietary restrictions, they’re welcome to enjoy my treat stash—always free of charge, always tail-wag approved. Bottom line? I treat every dog like they’re part of the family, even if they’re just with me for the day. Can’t wait to welcome your pup into the crew!
