Whether it’s drop-in visits, overnight stays, or in-home boarding, I plan my pet sitting schedule around my work to make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I always allow time for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and quality one-on-one time. If your pet has a specific routine or care needs, I’m happy to work with you to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away.

I’ll come to your home for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, helping maintain your pet’s normal routine in their own space. This is ideal for pets who are more relaxed at home or who need a schedule and do not like change. Some dogs suffer from severe anxiety being in new territory so sometimes it’s best to have your pup stay in their home to make it easier on them. Of course the same goes for senior pups unless they require substantial care I have the means to actually stay in home and cater to their daily routine as I’ve had several jobs doing so. In my home I offer comfortable, personalized care for dogs or cats who enjoy a cozy, quiet space away from home. I have a dedicated space just for pet guests, where I can safely store their belongings (beds, toys, food, etc.) and give them a calm space to settle in. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and set up with all the essentials for safe and happy boarding, including food/water bowls, toys, and pet-safe cleaning products. If your dog is crate-trained, please provide their crate so they have a familiar, secure space to relax in. I want them to feel as comfortable and at ease as possible during their stay. If they are not crate trained and are a bed cuddler; please just let me know. I don’t mind as mine sleeps with me as well; so don’t ever feel judged based on you letting your dogs sleep with you.

Information Quaniqua W. would like to know about your pet
For the safety of all the animals I work with both in-home and at the doggie daycare where I’m employed. I kindly ask that all pets I care for are up to date on vaccinations that include rabies, bordetella, and distemper. For puppies under 16 weeks of age MUST be current and up to date on all shots and boosters. This helps protect not only your pet, but every animal I come into contact with. I also ask for a quick rundown of your pet’s feeding schedule, medications, medical conditions (if applicable), dietary restrictions or allergies they may have. This ensures I can provide consistent care and avoid any health risks or disruptions to your pet’s routine.
A typical day
🐶 For Dogs 1. Enrichment Games • Treat Puzzles or Kongs filled with frozen peanut butter/yogurt • Snuffle mats to encourage natural foraging • DIY treasure hunt using treats hidden around the house 2. Physical Play • Tug-of-war (great bonding activity) • Fetch (indoors with soft/hard toys or outside if space allows) • Obstacle course using couch cushions, chairs, or tunnels (yes we are big kids in my household) 3. Training & Tricks • Practice basic commands like sit, stay, down, and come Teach a fun new trick like “shake,” “spin,” or “touch” (if you have a puppy I can assist with bring it, up, leave it, or any other additional commands that are past basics) 4. Sensory Walks (Sniffari) •Take slow, sniff-focused walks for mental stimulation • Let them explore new scents and textures at their pace 5. Bubble Play • Use pet-safe bubbles (as long as your pup isn’t terrified unfortunately I know a few) 🐱 For Cats 1. Interactive Play • Wand toys, laser pointers, or feather teasers • Ping pong balls or crinkle toys for solo fun 2. Food Puzzles • Puzzle feeders or treat balls to activate their hunting instinct 3. Climbing & Perching • Encourage time on cat trees and window perches/hammocks provided 4. Box Forts or Paper Bags • Simple enrichment—most cats love hiding or exploring these or using as a scratcher. 5. Calm Bonding Time • Brushing, gentle petting, or quiet time together on the couch

A Helping Hand to A Paw in Need
Pet care experience
I work part-time at a doggie daycare (best job EVER); where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from playful puppies to seniors, and from super social pups to those who need a little more patience and understanding. My hands-on experience has taught me how to read body language, manage multiple dog’s play safely, and provide individualized care for each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup needs structured walks, calm companionship, or just someone to keep their routine steady while you’re away, I’m here to help.

Reviews
Quinn was very attentive and quick to respond . Our dog was super happy boarding at her home and left with all smiles.
Very communicative, was flexible with pickup and drop off, and our dog seemed happy as could be when we picked him up.
100% recommend, and will for sure take my baby back whenever i need someone to take care of him while im away. got updates very often and took care of him like her own! he basically had his own vacation while being there lol! he came back exhausted and sleepy all day so i know he had a time!! on top of that i am highly allergic to cats, and she was more than willing to clean, and make sure cat hair was not on him or his items without me even asking!
While me and my husband were out of the country for two weeks, Quinn took such good care of our two beloved kitties, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything in perfect order. She kept us updated regularly with sweet photos and little notes, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that she treated our pets like her own, and that really helped me stay less stressed on our vacation as it was our first time being away from my babies that long. We’d be happy to have her watch our cats again any time!
