A typical day
My time with your dog can look a little different depending on the pup’s age, energy level, and personality—but here’s what it usually includes: 🐾 Arrival & Greeting • Excited tail wags, sniffs, and a happy reunion! • A quick check to make sure food, water, and everything looks good. 🐾 Walks & Exercise • A stroll around the neighborhood or a fun game of fetch. • For older pups, a slower sniff-filled walk or just backyard time. 🐾 Feeding & Treats • Mealtime or snacks based on the owner’s schedule. • I can also practice basic commands with treats for enrichment. 🐾 Cuddles & Companionship • Belly rubs, ear scratches, brushing, or lap time. • Yes, I do talk to the dog ( it’s normal—and dogs love it). 🐾 Mental Stimulation • Puzzle toys, training refreshers, or hide-and-seek with toys/treats. • Keeping the dog mentally engaged prevents boredom and anxiety. 🐾 Relax & Wind Down • A calm cuddle session, lying together on the couch or floor. • Making sure the dog feels safe and loved until you come home. 🐾 Updates for Owners • I will send photos or short notes regularly so owners know how their pup is doing.

“Belly Rubs and Snuggles Included!
Pet care experience
I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember—caring for everything from tiny lap companions to big, lovable gentle giants. To me, every pup is more than just a pet; they’re a unique soul with their own quirks, charms, and personality. I take the time to truly connect with each dog, whether they thrive on adventurous walks or prefer cozy afternoons filled with belly rubs. I understand the trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I treat that responsibility with the utmost respect. My mission is to give you complete peace of mind while creating a safe, happy, and loving environment for your dog. When they’re with me, it’s not just pet sitting—it’s like their own little staycation, filled with care, comfort, and plenty of tail wags, “Belly Rubs, and Snuggles Included!“
