Pet care experience

Walk, Run, Play, Love? I'm here!

From the very beginning, I've been an animal person. I got my first pet, a cat, in 2000, and 8 years later, I finally convinced my parents to let me extend my pack to get a dog. These two were my very best friends. Unfortunately, they both passed away in 2018... but both lived long happy lives and I miss them dearly. Fast forward to now, and my partner in crime is my good boy, Biscuits, my 5 year old golden retriever! He is a well mannered goofball. My love for animals of all varieties has been my constant. So, if you're animal needs some exercise or love while you're away... I'm your girl. I love being active and busy. I only have love to give and I look forward to meeting and playing with your lovely furry friends!! They will be in good hands, I can promise you that!

This sweet gal Summer, had just lost her own beautiful Golden. Two weeks later we arrived on her doorstep with ours. She was gracious, ready to take care of our pup for a week after Her devastating loss. Highly recommend, lots of activities, hikes and other dog friends. Thank You Summer For your care and thoughtfulness.

Summer was the best! This was our first time leaving our 6-month old puppy and Summer made it painless. She is so calm and comfortable with dogs: She knew all the right questions to ask, made sure that she met any of our pup’s special needs and took excellent care of him. She even slept on the sofa next to his crate! She had a nice well-fenced yard for play time and sent lots of photos of our boy having the time of his life. We highly recommend Summer.

Summer was so wonderful with Poppy! She checked in regularly and sent lots of photos. Poppy didn’t want to say goodbye to her- it’s clear she cares for pups so much and makes them feel comfortable and safe :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 5 year old golden retriever that would love a couple new friends to play and snuggle with! We live in our own home with a fenced backyard within a cute neighborhood that has lots of trails! My dog is my life and I promise, when your pet is in my care, you can trust that they are happy and having loads of fun! I am happy to provide photos / videos and keep you updated down to when their last “go potty” moment was hahaha I encourage / strive to make reoccurring clients to establish a bond between the doggo & myself (although, I do love and enjoy having new pets & establishing new relationships with them as well!)! you can rest assured that your pet will be treated as if they were family when they are with me 🤍🐾

Pets

A typical day

I live in a nice neighborhood that have lots of trails. There are also an abundance of hiking trails near by. Guaranteed lots of pets and snuggles. But ultimately, the activities we do will vary on what you’d like for your pup!

The dog's schedule / routine does he/she have any aggression issues or any type of reactivity? Is he good with other dogs? people? Does he/she need to be the only dog on a walk? What training commands do they know? - heel, sit, walk on, lay down... etc Food allergies? Medication? How is their off leash skills? Any separation anxiety? Are they vocal? I want to know anything and everything about your cutie! A little note for HOUSE SITTING REQUESTS - my golden Biscuits would need to be able to come stay, as well. With that said, he is a pro at traveling and being in new places / environments. We’ve stayed in multiple hotels, cabins, resorts, houses with not a single incident big or small. Bringing him, would be as if I brought a large potato 🥔 😆 quiet, nondestructive, extremely calm & mellow, gentle to everyone & everything, no prey drive whatsoever, zero reactivity / aggression, plays well with any type of dog, gets along great with cats & doesn’t bother them, loves to snuggle and just be lazy. Long story short, his biggest crime / flaw is his shedding but if you have a vacuum I’d be happy to clean that up
