Availability

Your dog will rarely be alone. Since I am home-based Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, my schedule is incredibly flexible. • ​Potty Breaks: Offered every 2–4 hours (or more frequently for puppies/seniors). ​• Supervision: I am present specifically to keep an eye on them during the workday. • Weekends: Available for full-time fun, boarding, and daycare. ​Note: I do not book on Wednesdays to ensure I can give 100% attention to guests on the days I am available.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is designed to be a low-stress sanctuary. • The Yard: I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard. It is secure and checked regularly, allowing for safe, off-leash exploration. • Household Vibe: My home is quiet and child-free. This is ideal for dogs who get overwhelmed by loud noises or sudden movements. • ​My Dog: Blaze is a small, friendly toy poodle who loves making new friends but is respectful of boundaries. • ​Security: I am meticulous about door security and following your specific crate or gating instructions.

Information Sandra L. would like to know about your pet

To ensure a perfect stay, please let me know your dog's 'quirks.' • ​Triggers: Are they afraid of storms, doorbells, or larger dogs? • ​Sleep: Where do they usually sleep at night? (Crate, bed, with you?) • Medical: Do they have allergies or need medication administered? • ​Social: Are they excited to meet others, or do they prefer a slow, hands-off introduction? The more details you share, the faster I can make them feel safe and loved!

A typical day

Our day starts with a morning stretch and potty break in the yard, followed by breakfast. While I work, your pup is welcome to snooze on a dog bed in my office, curl up on the rug, or look out the window. We take 'enrichment breaks' throughout the day for fetch in the yard, cuddles, or a little training practice. Evenings are for relaxing on the couch and winding down. It’s a very chill, cozy routine that helps dogs settle in quickly.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who specializes in providing a calm, predictable, and affectionate environment. I have raised my own toy poodle, Blaze, for over 5 years and grew up surrounded by family dogs, so I am very comfortable with various personalities from energetic puppies to shy seniors who need extra reassurance. ​My goal is to be your dog's 'home away from home.' Because I work from home 4 days a week, I can offer constant companionship and supervision. I pride myself on being patient, gentle, and highly communicative. You can expect frequent photo updates and a responsive sitter who treats your pup exactly like family.
