Pet care experience

Your dog’s second best friend

For nearly 30 years, dogs have been a part of my life and my passion. I began caring for dogs at just 5 years old, and over the years have gained experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. This experience includes everything from puppies to senior companions. I’m experienced with potty training, crate training, administering routine medications, caring for dogs in rehabilitation from injuries and surgeries, and providing compassionate care for dogs with incontinence or other special needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My home is shared with a friendly, energetic 3 year old Springer Spaniel who loves making new friends, as well as a social 1 year old cat who is comfortable around and playful with dogs. When your pet stays with me, you can be assured they will receive plenty of attention and exercise in one of the many parks near my house. I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simply to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and loved, while giving you complete peace of mind during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

My own dog and cat are eager to make new friends and provide extra companionship to your pet during their stay. I frequently bring my own dog to play at the parks around my house, and would be thrilled to include your pet(s) in this adventure.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day watching your pets will consist of meeting your dogs needs and routines, whatever that may entail. Whether your dog enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, or relaxing on the couch, I am able and happy to adapt as needed.
