My days are a mix of kids, nature, and dogs. I spend my early mornings working with board-and-train pups at Zen Dog Training, and the rest of my time homeschooling my children and exploring the outdoors. Since I’m home full-time, your dog won’t feel like a “guest” here — they naturally become part of our daily rhythm. I’m a nurse by trade, so safety, structure, and attention to detail come naturally to me. These days I’ve traded my scrubs for trail shoes, and we spend a lot of time outside. If your dog loves adventure, we’ll be out exploring trails and staying active. If they’re older or prefer a slower pace, they’ll enjoy a calm, structured home environment designed to help dogs feel safe and settled. Why owners love the stay: • Professional experience — Between my work in training and my medical background, I’m comfortable handling everything from leash manners to anxious dogs and complex medical needs. • Structure without stress — I don’t run a chaotic kennel-style environment. My home is calm, intentional, and balanced so dogs can relax and feel secure. • Enrichment-focused care — Whether that means trail walks, mental stimulation, play, or simply consistency and calm energy, I tailor care to each dog’s personality and needs. I stay fairly busy with returning clients, but I’m always open to connecting with owners who value a high standard of care and a home-based environment. Feel free to message me to see if we’d be a good fit for your dog’s next stay.
