Pet care experience
A home away from home
Hey there! I’m so glad you stopped by to check out my profile! I’ve been a dog lover since I was a kid, and I’ve learned so many great tips from all the amazing pups I’ve cared for over the years. When I take dogs out for walks, I love keeping things exciting with fun activities like swimming, playing fetch, and exploring new parks, all while making sure they’re super comfy and happy! My own furry buddy, Baloo, is a gentle and friendly 10-year-old Goldendoodle who absolutely loves to share his bed and toys. I’ve got experience with dogs of all ages and I'm more than happy to give medication if that's needed. My place is a cozy, safe haven where dogs can feel right at home, with plenty of exercise and playtime during walks and while chillin’ with me. If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to reach out! Thanks for considering me—I can’t wait to meet you and your adorable furry friend! 🐾

Portia is kind to my dog and takes good care of her, I know I can be at peace when Funny is at her place ☺️
I’m glad my dog can have a fulfilling time when I’m away, having nice long walks with Portia and playing with other dogs!
Portia was very kind to my dog, and Funny felt at peace at her place :) Portia’s dog is calm and chill, and Funny seemed to relax quickly around them. I got photos and updates throughout the stay, and would ask Portia to dog-sit again

Schedule
I make sure to take your dogs for a nice walk for at least two hours each day, splitting the time between the morning and evening. I'll also feed them if they're hungry and make sure they get any medication they need.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I genuinely enjoy keeping your furry friends entertained and engaged through games and leisurely walks. I’m always happy to ensure they’re safely on a lead when needed. Understanding your dog's individual needs is very important to me, as it allows me to create a comfortable and joyful environment for them. Baloo has a wonderful way with puppies, encouraging their socialization and play, but he’s also quite content to take it easy and provide gentle companionship during a relaxed stroll. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities.

A typical day
I always keep my dogs in a small group because it allows me to stay in control of their activities during walks. I love to mix up our adventures, giving them the chance to swim, engage in playful interactions, and enjoy games with balls if that’s what they like. I’m fully equipped to cater to both old and young dogs, as I have experience with both. My goal is to make each dog feel like a cherished member of my family.
