Pet care experience

22+ years experience with Doggos!!!

I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 but have had pets my entire life. Including special needs dogs as mine has idiopathic head tremors that requires medication. Neighbors and family rely on me to walk their fur babies and I love doing it, I've also cared for many other types of animals such as Guinea pigs, fish, cats, rabbits, ducks, chickens...I can give medication to your pup if they have any special needs or allergies and am well versed in training dogs as well.

Shelby was great with Mochi and was very accommodating for a last minute booking! I received text and picture updates, and he was able to make a new friend as well.

Schedule

SUPER FLEXIBLE and about 25 mins from both FOXWOODS and MOHEGAN SUN casinos. I am currently focusing my time on dog care and boarding. I have all the time needed to give your fur babies the attention they deserve as this is my fulltime job. My day begins and ends with pet care as I have my own fur baby that I spoil. I also take last minute boarding or daycare requests. Even if you just want to get out for a few hours I work MY schedule around YOU!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with room to run and inside multiple toys and beds. I have a very friendly micro bully (Memphis) he's 40lbs and about a foot off the ground. He loves to play with other dogs. He's a fixed male and wants to be best friends with every dog and person he meets. My home is dog friendly and puppy proofed. My neighborhood has a circle with very low traffic and their is a dog friendly park 5 mins down the road from me where your dog can hike with me or if they enjoy the water they can swim. I can and will always provide updates and photos/videos of your fur babies while they are in my care.

A typical day

I have puzzle toys for the stimulation of the dogs minds as well as treats for positive reinforcement and for when they are just being all around good (unless of course, they are on a diet). I will only give your pups what you tell me to. (Exp brand and type of food) I work on various training activities with the dogs throughout the day. Multiple walks and outdoor time to play are provided to release energy and just have fun! Every dog in my care will get plenty of exercise and they'll be excited but tired babies when you come to pick them up!

Let me know about any special needs, diets, temperament, their socialization skills, any food aggression if they are reactive to smaller dogs who jump and are full of energy who might annoy them. Let me know if they have separation or other anxieties. This information will help me to care for your pup in a way that lets him or her enjoy their stay and have as little stress as possible with the experience.
