Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pup’s Home Away From Home!
I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Since childhood, animals have been a central part of my life, and I have spent decades helping neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and overnight care. This lifelong dedication has taught me how to connect with different animal personalities, from high-energy puppies who need plenty of stimulation to calm senior dogs who require gentle attention and patience. I treat every single animal with the same deep respect, love, and high standard of care that I give to my own family pets.

Schedule
I currently work on a part-time basis, which gives me immense flexibility throughout the week to dedicate myself fully to your pets. My schedule allows me to easily accommodate midday check-ins, routine dog walking, and active playtime blocks. I am fully available for overnight boarding and house sitting during weekends, as well as select weekdays. Because I am home frequently, your dog will rarely be left alone, ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely feeding, bathroom breaks, and all the affection they need to feel completely safe and secure while you are away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my absolute top priority when looking after your beloved pets. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play under direct supervision. To keep your fur baby company, I have two incredibly friendly, well-socialized resident dogs who love making new friends. My home is entirely pet-proofed, and I can easily crate your dog if needed for meals, bedtime, or based on your personal preferences. I am incredibly vigilant about door security, yard boundaries, and maintaining a calm, stress-free environment to ensure every guest stays happy, healthy, and entirely secure.

A typical day
A typical day with me is packed with the perfect balance of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and relaxation. We start our mornings with a refreshing walk around the neighborhood to check out all the new smells and stretch our legs. Throughout the day, I love to play structured games like fetch, puzzle toys, and gentle tug-of-war to keep your dog physically and mentally sharp. We also make frequent trips to a large, beautiful park near my house for longer explorations. After a fun-filled day of activities, we wind down with plenty of couch cuddles, belly rubs, and peaceful resting time.

- To give your pet the absolute best care possible, please let me know about any special needs, medical conditions, or unique behaviors ahead of time. I want to know what makes them comfortable, including their exact feeding schedules, favorite toys, crate routines, and how they react to seeing other dogs on walks. Please share if they have any anxieties, food allergies, or specific commands they respond to. While my home environment is highly adaptable, my personal preference is for dog breeds that are well-socialized and can comfortably coexist with my two friendly resident dogs.
