Reliable, Loving Care for Your Dog

I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and have cared for my rescue dog, Pico, for over 10 years. Whether your fur baby is energetic or easygoing, I offer personalized care with plenty of love. I’m experienced with medications, routines, and making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I also know how important it is for you to feel connected. I’m happy to send photos and quick check ins, whatever helps you feel at ease. Let me know your preferences!

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure all areas are pet safe and follow your specific instructions to make your pet feel at ease. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll keep their routine consistent and provide plenty of attention and love while you’re away.

A typical day

I love making sure your fur baby has a fun, safe, and enriching time while you’re away! Whether it’s a game of fetch, a leisurely sniff filled walk around the neighborhood, or some cozy cuddle time on the couch, I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For more active pups, I’ll plan playful sessions with toys, tug of war. For calmer pets or senior animals, I offer gentle strolls, lots of affection, and soothing companionship. Your fur baby’s happiness is my top priority!

Let’s make your pet’s time away from you as smooth and joyful as possible! I’d love to get to know your fur baby, the more details, the better. Please share their typical routine, including mealtimes, walks, and potty breaks. Let me know if they have any medical conditions, take medications, or have special needs. It’s also super helpful to know how they do around other animals or new people, what their favorite activities are, and if they have any fears or triggers (like loud noises, certain environments, or objects). If there are any training cues, house rules, or habits you’d like me to follow, just let me know. I’m here to help your pet feel safe, loved, and at home. And please let me know your preference for updates! I’m happy to send regular photos, messages, or quick check ins, whatever helps you feel most comfortable and connected while you’re away.
