Your dogs favorite aunt ❤️

Pet care experience

I exclusively offer ✨Private Dog Boarding & Daycare✨meaning your dog will have my undivided attention. I especially love working on training during walks and playing enrichment games. I started doing Rover as a hobby. Now, I have a bunch of repeat clients and fur babies that I love like my own! I’ve also expanded my dog training coaching by working with seasoned professionals who train full time. I have a ton of experience with young puppies, potty training, and leash training. I love senior dogs and have experience with them as well. At my house, your dog will be hanging out with me and my dog Lola Bean (12lb super calm terrier) and my partner, although he works 24hour shifts so he’s gone half the week. Outside, your pup will sun bathe in my awesome fenced backyard. We’ll definitely go to the park and because I hike often there’s a good chance for a longer hike during their stay. My routine typically includes waking up fairly early, exercising-- I live near Downtown Los Gatos so I have two dog friendly parks within a 6 block radius. When I'm not eating outdoors or at a park in the city, I'm usually out camping or exploring the bay! Some of my favorite places include Mount. Tam and Orr Hot Springs. ———— NOTE: Prices are customized based on pet’s needs, behavioral issues, if they are neutered, private vs. multi dog boarding from the same family (private boarding is always required for unneutered male dogs) and if they are fully potty trained. NOTE: Dogs are rarely left alone under my care but if I have to run an errand, pups must be ok being left for an hour. I never run an errand during their stay that is longer than 1.5hrs. Please let me know if your dog suffers from separation anxiety so we can adjust their stay and price 😌 ————-

Really good experience with Pam taking care of Pepper. She was super proactive in timely communicating and sending photos and video clips when on walks with him. She puts in extra time when needed to make sure Pepper is taking care of well. Sometimes she brings another dog for a fun walk in a pack. Now I know Pepper is actually enjoying it so I am happy she tried this with him. I can always recommend her for your dog sitting or walking needs. Klaus

Pam walked my dog every evening for a week. I have a dog who is reactive on a leash when she sees other dogs. Before the first walk, Pam came over to do a meet and greet and understand my dog’s behavior. She found an effective way to avoid the creativeness during their walks. She is very courteous, prompt and clear with communications, and always punctual. She genuinely loves dogs and has experience working with large and small dogs. I could tell my dog was comfortable with her at once and she made sure the my dog could trust her. I would definitely use Pam’s services next time and highly recommend her if you have a dog who can sometimes be difficult to walk. Thank you, Pam!

Pam was excellent and was soo calm with my shepherd that had a lot of anxiety! She was soo knowledgeable about how to handle everything while the dog was having a panic attack and she was so loving and compassionate with both dogs. I will definitely be using her again!

I have a fenced backyard with Lola Bean who gets along with all dogs and humans. Although, she prefers small dogs. I also have a doggy door that allows dogs easy access to the inside for water or when they need a play break.

Information Pam S. would like to know about your pet

I want to know your dog's personality! What are they motivated by, food, play, love? I want to know their energy level and potential allergies. Their anxiety level around new people, other dogs, and leash behavior. Senior Pups: Please let me know if they require special care. How they are on stairs, and how long their walks should be. Training: I want to know what you are working on with your dog. Although I won’t train your pet, I will follow your current protocol for consistency and training reinforcement. Rescue pups: Tell me if they’re shy, tell me what they need to be comfortable- a special place for their bed, to have their own space in my walk in closet, or maybe just a long trust walk before coming into my home. Right before you drop off your pup I'd like to know the last time they pooped and were walked and if they are ok running or if they might be too tired.

A typical day

Park time! Walks! Hikes! Playing in my back yard and sun bathing. And loads of cuddles and maybe some pack walks with other well trained dogs.
