Availability

I work a hybrid schedule and provide boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Dogs in my care should be comfortable spending a 1-2 hours independently at a time while I am running errands, or attending to other commitments (picking kid up from camp or school for example). Mondays and Thursdays are typically office days, so these days are my longest periods away from home (~8 hours during the day). Outside of those times, dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, walks, and care.

Safety, trust & environment

I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a safe, family-oriented home and care for one family’s pet at a time.

Information Simone Y. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dog’s personality, routine, medical needs, and any behaviors I should be aware of before booking. Since I have a child at home and work a hybrid schedule, I am best suited for friendly, house-trained dogs that are comfortable being around children and can spend 1-2 hours independently when needed.

A typical day

A typical day includes potty breaks, walks around my complex or at Lake Chabot (if allowed), playtime, doggy TV, plenty of attention, and lots of opportunities to relax and feel at home.

Safe, Loving Care for Your Pet

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs all my life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I provide a safe, loving home environment and care for one family’s pet at a time so your dog gets plenty of attention and individualized care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away.

Simone took such great care of Laney while I was away for the weekend! Super responsive and easy to communicate with. Laney would love to stay with her again!

My Thor was happy and well loved in her home. He gets excited at every visit. Seamless drop off and pick up. Very friendly and easy to work with.
