Calm Care for Complex Dogs

Pet care experience

My 13 year old senior dog, Dixie, recently crossed the rainbow bridge. I’m honoring her by caring for other dogs with the same love and patience. I have 15+ years of experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors with medical or behavioral needs. I’m confident with reactive and shy dogs, medication, and custom routines because I’ve lived it. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority and I will always put your pet first. I provide honest, compassionate care tailored to their needs without judgment.

Safety, trust & environment

I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or theirs, I work on building trust by moving at each pet’s pace and honoring their boundaries. Safety is always my top priority, I supervise pets closely, follow all instructions carefully, and adapt to their unique needs. I keep spaces clean, hazard-free, and ensure pets have fresh water, proper food, and quiet resting spots. For reactive or anxious pets, I use gentle, low stress handling & positive reinforcement or redirecting to help them feel calm and supported. Every care plan is tailored specifically to your pet’s needs after we discuss what works best for them.

Availability

I work full time from home which allows me the flexibility to prioritize pet care in a way I wouldn’t be able to with a traditional office job. This looks like breaks for play time, medication, cuddles or walks when they are needed, not when they can be fit in.
