Pet care experience

Furry Friendly Home with 2 Dogs

I’m a lifelong animal lover offering a comfortable, loving home for dogs who need boarding or daycare. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of attention, supervision, playtime and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. My home already has a welcoming little crew: Cash, my friendly yellow Lab; Buddy, my playful mini Dachshund; and Nene, my social tabby cat. They’re all used to sharing their space and make wonderful companions for visiting pets. I’ve also created a pet-friendly setup at home, including a balcony with artificial grass for convenient potty breaks, along with plenty of comfortable indoor space for lounging, playing and relaxing. I want every pet who stays with me to feel safe, included and treated like part of the family.

Omar has an incredibly loving and warm demeanor with both humans and animals. He is so selfless and puts his fur babies before himself. A proud daddy if three fur babies himself, he understands firsthand, he goes above and beyond to ensuring his furry, winged, and slithery friends are all cared for and given the unconditional love they deserve. If you are looking for someone who will not just look after, but sincerely care for and ensure your pet's every need is catered to, please look no further.

Schedule

I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m around throughout the day for playtime, potty breaks, meals, walks, cuddles and supervision. Your pup won’t be spending long stretches alone, and I can easily keep to their normal routine while they’re staying with me.

Safety, trust & environment

I want every pet in my home to feel safe, comfortable and included. I have two friendly, playful dogs, Cash and Buddy, plus Nene, my social tabby cat, so visiting pets have plenty of companionship. My home has lots of comfortable indoor space, and I also have a balcony with artificial grass for convenient potty breaks. I’m home throughout the day to supervise, give plenty of attention and make sure each pet has the space and care they need. My goal is for your pet to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re having a sleepover with friends.

I would like to know what their quirks are, what their likes and dislikes are, what engages them in terms of activities, positive reinforcement, etc. I definitely need to know any allergies, what to avoid in terms of overstimulation, noises, things that may engage or spark trauma.
