Trusted Dog Care
I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up around large, high-energy breeds. Today I have two of my own, a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Hungarian Vizsla, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs that need plenty of exercise, attention, and structure. My home has a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax. If your dog enjoys being active and gets along well with others, they’re welcome to join us on our daily walks and trips to the park. If they prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy to match their routine. Every dog is different, and I try to make them feel as comfortable as possible while they’re with me. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll care for them the same way I care for my own. I’ll follow your routine, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing.

Schedule
I work from home most days, and those are the days I’m available for boarding. Because I’m home throughout the day, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of attention, bathroom breaks, and playtime. If they’re up for it, they’ll join my two dogs on walks and park visits. I’ll also follow your dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first. I have a secure, fully fenced yard and a clean, dog-friendly home where pets are treated like family. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy meeting new friends, but I’m also happy to keep dogs separated if that’s what makes everyone most comfortable. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special requests to make sure your dog feels right at home. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and having a great time.

A typical day
My availability reflects the days I’m working from home, so your dog will have someone with them throughout the day and will never be left alone for long periods. Every dog is different, so I tailor the day to their personality and energy level. We enjoy daily walks, and during the summer we head out early in the morning and again in the evening when it’s cooler. If your dog enjoys being active, they’re welcome to join my two dogs on trips to the park, play fetch, explore, and burn off some energy. There will also be plenty of time for naps, and relaxing indoors.

- Before your dog’s stay, please let me know about any dietary restrictions, medications, allergies, or medical needs. I’d also love to know about their personality, daily routine, favorite activities, and anything unique that helps them feel comfortable. The more I know, the better I can make their stay feel like home.
