Your Dog’s New Favorite Home 🐾

Hi! I’m Summer, a stay-at-home mom with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every dog is different, so I focus on providing personalized care that fits their needs and routine. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. On warmer days, dogs can enjoy supervised play and even cool off in a doggy pool, which many pups love. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will receive consistent attention, supervision, and care. Whether your dog is active or more laid-back, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. I also provide regular photo and update check-ins so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I’d love to set up a meet and greet to see if we’re a good fit!

Summer did a fantastic job caring for our girl!! 100% recommend if you’re in need of someone to watch your pup. We loved getting photos of our girl everyday. It helped since we miss her so much when we’re away!

Doggy Day Care • Nov 12, 2018

Summer was awesome! I messaged her last minute late friday night and she was able to watch my pup on Sunday while I worked all day. She sent pics, and text updates throughout the day and made me feel comfortable leaving Kaia with her. It was nice that she also had a dog around the same size as mine so they could play together. We will definitely use her again! Thanks Summer!

Summer was exactly who I was looking for to watch my pup. Originally she was going to watch him for the day but because my work schedule constantly changes, she was flexible and was able to watch Hurley overnight too. Hurley and her dog had so much fun. When she dropped Hurley off he waited by door wondering when she was coming back. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home most of the day. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I structure my day around maintaining a calm, predictable environment, so dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. Outdoor time, play, and rest are balanced based on each dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will be part of our daily routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, calm, and supervised environment with a fully fenced-in yard for secure outdoor time. I follow each dog’s routine closely, monitor behavior, and prioritize a low-stress, structured setting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and I provide regular updates for peace of mind.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day is a mix of play, relaxation, and lots of love! Mornings start with potty breaks, breakfast, and some light play or a walk depending on your dog’s energy. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy supervised outdoor time in the fenced yard, play sessions, and plenty of attention. I like to keep things fun but balanced, so there’s also time to rest and relax so no one gets overstimulated. On warmer days, we may bring out the doggy pool for some water play, which is always a hit! There are also plenty of snuggles, lounging, and just feeling at home. In the evening, we wind down with dinner, potty breaks, and a calm, cozy environment so your dog can settle in comfortably for the night.

Before caring for any pet, I like to learn as much as possible to provide a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience. Some helpful things to know ahead of time include your dog’s personality and behavior (shy, energetic, anxious, or social), feeding schedule and any dietary needs, medical conditions or medications, and any triggers or fears such as loud noises or certain environments. I also like to keep routines consistent, so knowing any house rules, training cues, or preferences is very helpful. Please let me know how your dog does with other dogs and children as well. For drop-in visits, my toddler may occasionally be with me, so it’s important that your dog is comfortable around young children. The more I know, the better I can make your dog’s stay feel safe, smooth, and right at home.
