Highlights
Pet care experience
From farm roots to city living!
Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I spent my teenage years working on a ranch — caring for horses, dogs, and family pets who all had important jobs to do. Training and patience were part of daily life, and I loved seeing how clear communication and care could bring out the best in every animal. These days I live in Holland, Michigan, where I get to bring that same experience to city dogs. Whether it’s a long walk, a little training reinforcement, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and loved.

Schedule
I currently work part time on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for 8hrs each day. Your dog would have its own room/crate to stay in while I’m at work and must be okay for at least 7hrs if staying on the days I have to work. Otherwise, I can apply my full attention for any needs your pup has.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
If your pup is staying at my home, it would receive daily walks at least 3 times a day. Daily visits to the dog park would not break our routine. If you choose for your dog to stay at your house, I am open to whatever your pup needs from playtime to cuddles.
Pets
A typical day
Most days include a morning walk, an early afternoon walk, and an evening hike at one of the many local parks. Depending on the dog, we’ll also do light training or engagement sessions near dusk.
