Family Style Care

What makes me different from other sitters is that I naturally include training in my time with dogs. Even small things—like impulse control, manners, or minor behavioral habits—can make a big difference, and I love turning training into play. I especially enjoy working with puppies! They’re so smart, curious, and always up for a challenge. With your permission, I can help your pup start off on the right paw. Of course, if your dog just wants playtime and cuddles, I’m more than happy to provide that too. My goal is always to meet your dog’s needs and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while in my care.

I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m also available on weekends—so whether you’re heading out for a movie, a night out, or just need some time to relax, I’ll be there to make sure your furry companion is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet as if they were my own. I pay close attention to body language and always put each dog’s needs first. I do have a 3-year-old son who loves to run around, but he also knows to give dogs their space if they don’t want to play. I also share my home with a 3-year-old chocolate Lab. He’s a very sweet, easygoing boy who does great with puppies, cats, and older dogs. If your dog isn’t comfortable around others or prefers crate time, I’m happy to adjust. I can separate him and do rotational play so that your pup feels safe and cared for.

Pets

A typical day

Every dog is different, so I tailor each day to their personality, energy level, and your preferences. Whether your pup loves adventures or prefers a cozy day at home, we’ll make sure they’re happy and comfortable. We may go for walks, play games, work on a little mental enrichment, relax with cuddles, or (with your permission) visit a local park to explore new sights and smells—even say hello to the ducks! My home is active, so your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I’ll also send lots of photo updates so you can see all the fun they’re having while you’re away.

Please tell me everything you can about your pup! I’d love to know their activity level, feeding schedule (times and amounts), favorite toys or treats, any medical needs, fears, quirks, or training cues they know. It’s also important to let me know how they do around other dogs, cats, and children so I can create the safest and most comfortable environment for everyone. My goal is to make your dog feel at home, so don’t hesitate to share the silly little things too—whether they insist on carrying a toy everywhere, have a favorite bedtime routine, or think they’re a lap dog. The more I know, the better I can care for them!
