Highlights
Pet care experience
PawShank Redemption
What sets me apart is the level of supervision, structure, communication, and individualized care I provide for every pet. At Pawshank Redemption, I focus on creating a safe, engaging, and low-stress environment where dogs are not just watched — they are genuinely cared for, entertained, and treated like family. I am home the majority of the time, allowing for near 24-hour supervision, consistent potty breaks, structured routines, enrichment activities, and close monitoring throughout the day. I also provide personalized updates, photos, videos, and fun “court report” style progress updates so owners feel connected and reassured while away from their pets. I have experience working with: - Reactive and anxious dogs - High-energy dogs - Senior dogs needing extra patience and monitoring - Dogs requiring medication administration - Dogs with unique personalities and behavioral needs My background in healthcare has helped me develop strong observation skills, patience, attention to detail, and the ability to remain calm in stressful situations. Safety, cleanliness, routine, and communication are extremely important to me, and I take pride in making sure every pet feels secure, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I also focus heavily on enrichment and preventing boredom through supervised play, mental stimulation, structured activities, and individualized attention — because a tired dog is a happy dog. 🐾 At Pawshank Redemption, we specialize in “breaking dogs out of boredom” while keeping your inmate safe, entertained, and cared for every step of the way.

Schedule
Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I am home the majority of the time, which means your “inmate” will receive around-the-clock monitoring, structured potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of interaction instead of being left alone for long periods. I maintain a calm but engaging environment where pets are closely supervised, kept on routine feeding schedules, and given individualized care based on their personality and energy level. Whether your dog prefers relaxing, playing, cuddling, or burning off zoomies, I make sure they feel safe, entertained, and cared for at all times. At Pawshank Redemption, we specialize in “breaking dogs out of boredom” with 24-hour supervision, personalized care, and plenty of love while you’re away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At Pawshank Redemption, safety, structure, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, supervised environment where pets are treated like family while still maintaining safe routines and boundaries. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I closely monitor behavior, energy levels, feeding, potty habits, and overall wellbeing throughout their stay. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, triggers, and comfort needs to help them feel safe and reduce stress while away from home. For dogs that are reactive, anxious, senior, high-energy, or require extra patience, I provide individualized attention and supervision to ensure a positive experience. My home is kept clean, pet-friendly, and organized with safety in mind. Dogs have access to supervised play, rest breaks, potty routines, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. I carefully introduce pets when appropriate and prioritize safe separation if needed based on temperament or comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the pet’s established routine as closely as possible to maintain comfort and consistency. I provide updates, photos, and communication so owners feel reassured while away. At Pawshank Redemption, the goal is simple: keep your inmate safe, comfortable, entertained, and loved until parole pickup. 🐾
A typical day
A typical day at Pawshank Redemption is structured around keeping your inmate active, entertained, comfortable, and stress-free. Each day includes supervised playtime, potty breaks, enrichment activities, rest periods, cuddle time, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. I tailor activities based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs because every inmate serves their sentence a little differently. 🐾😂 For high-energy dogs, we focus on play sessions, walks, zoomie release programs, toys, enrichment games, and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. For more relaxed, senior, or anxious dogs, I provide a calm environment with gentle interaction, comfort, structured routines, and quiet rest time. Activities may include: Supervised indoor and outdoor play Walks and sniff breaks Fetch and tug-of-war Puzzle toys and enrichment activities Basic reinforcement of good behaviors Cuddle and relaxation time Socialization when appropriate “Yard time” and photo/video updates for owners Throughout the day, I closely supervise all pets and provide regular updates so owners know their inmate is safe, loved, and having a great time during their stay at Pawshank Redemption: “Keeping dogs entertained since 2024.” 🐶

- Before booking, I like to learn as much as possible about each pet so I can provide the safest and most comfortable experience during their stay at Pawshank Redemption. Helpful information includes your dog’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, medical needs, behavioral quirks, and how they interact with people or other animals. Important things for me to know ahead of time include: - Any anxiety, reactivity, or aggression triggers - Medication instructions or medical conditions - Food allergies or dietary restrictions - Potty schedule and crate training status - Escape artist tendencies or destructive behaviors - Comfort items they enjoy (toys, blankets, treats, etc.) - Whether they are comfortable around other dogs - Any fears such as loud noises, storms, or separation anxiety The more information you provide, the better I can tailor your pet’s stay to fit their needs and personality. My goal is to create a safe, structured, and stress-free environment where your inmate feels comfortable, entertained, and well cared for during their sentence with us. 🐾
