Pet care experience
Calm Home + Yard Play + Pool 🛟
Hi! I’m currently finishing my certification with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy (positive reinforcement), and I am a soon to be working closely with an experienced trainer. I am good at reading dog body language and helping dogs feel safe and relaxed in my home. As a semi-retired teacher, I’m home throughout the day and structure my time around walks, enrichment, play, and rest, so visiting dogs naturally become part of a predictable, low-stress routine.

Pamela did a great job with Honey. We appreciated all the pictures and videos that she sent. She kept Honey very active.
Pamela and her pups took great care of Gus while I was away 🐾 he felt right at home immediately and loved playing in the pool with his new friends.
Pamela provided excellent care for our dog Nikko. We will definitely ask for her help again! Thank you very much Pamela.
Hurley felt right at home with Pamela and her dog. She took great care of him. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout the day. She gave him all his medicine and walked him everyday. Definitely recommend her to anyone!!!! Next time I need someone I will use her again!!!!
So good with my dog. Took him on daily walks and to the park/beach. My dog loved staying here.
Pamela took wonderful care of my cavapoo for two days. She was reliable, kind, and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind. I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her!

Schedule
As a semi-retired teacher, I structure my day around walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest periods, so visiting or boarding dogs easily fold into that routine. I’m home throughout the day, which helps me give lots of attention and keep a calm, predictable environment.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home fully fenced with plenty of sectioned off spaces including a small pool for any dog who loves a little structured swim time - calling all Goldens and Labs!! 🤿💦🐟🏊 For dogs who enjoy activity, I offer: *Supervised yard play and enrichment *Optional splash/play time in the pool (weather permitting & always supervised) Snuffle mats, puzzle games, and structured downtime.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day includes morning potty breaks, indoor/outdoor time with me as the doorwoman while I’m home so dogs can move freely between the house and the fenced yard, and plenty of calm hang-out time. I recently relocated to the St. Petersburg area and love spending time outdoors with dogs. When appropriate and with the owner's permission, I enjoy taking dogs on adventures such as walks in local parks or even occasional trips to the beach so they can explore and get plenty of exercise. My goal is always to make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I use long lines for safety when needed and adjust based on your dog’s comfort level and walking style. Back at home, dogs enjoy enrichment like snuffle mats, lick mats, and light training games. If your dog enjoys playing, my friendly young Lab is full of energy and loves games like fetch and “chase me” in the yard. If they prefer a quieter vibe, they can relax with Addie on the couch. Evenings are calm and predictable: outdoor breaks, relaxing time inside, and settling in for the night.
