I usually take Lola on a walk by 9am, another walk at 1pm. I love doing pack walks with my doggie daycare clients- assuming they are social. This is a huge part of my routine. If your pup requires more walks or need private walks let me know.

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. I’ve had experience socializing pups that were otherwise fear based reactive. Ask me about leash training!

Pet care experience

✨Private Boarding, Kitty Drop Ins & Doggie Daycare✨ meaning your pet will get LOTS attention. I’ve also expanded my dog training coaching by working with seasoned professionals who train full time. I offer pack 🐾 walks (up to 4 dogs), and private walks. I especially love working on leash 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 pup! 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 mellow terrier) and my partner, although he works 48 hour 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 1hr. Please let me know if your dog suffers from separation anxiety so we can adjust their stay and price 😌 ————-

Pam was very professional and knowledgeable. She was super responsive and supportive to our dog feeling a little anxious about being away from us. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her.

Pam was awesome! She clearly loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about their needs and behaviors. My dog loves people but lacks confidence when it comes to other dogs. She offered some tips and worked with my girl to build her confidence during their walks. Pam took great care of my pup and we’ll definitely be working with her again!

This was my first experience using Rover, and I wish I could give Pam MORE than 5 stars! She clearly knows what she is doing and loves dogs. I have two small cavapoos, one of which can be reactive in unfamiliar situations with new people and pets. With Pam's guidance and cues, I was able to leave my two fur babies in her care without any issue. She sent pics and videos almost immediately, and I could tell they were in capable hands and having a good time. In addition, I really appreciated her being flexible on the pick up time as an unexpected family need caused me to be over 30 minutes later than originally planned. I will definitely use Pam again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding dog care!
