Pet care experience

Small-breed lover • Puppy-stage pro

Hello There! I’ve been a loving dog owner since the age of 7. My parents got me a Pomeranian named Chloe and I’ve loved dogs ever since. I have two small pups of my own right now (a Shih-Poo and a Boston Terrier), so I’m used to big personalities in small bodies, lots of energy, and all the little quirks that come with small breeds. I also did a puppy training program with my Poodle-mix, which taught me a lot about building routines, positive reinforcement, and just understanding puppy behavior in general. So whether your dog is still in that wild puppy stage or they just need some extra patience, I have PLENTY of experience. I’m gentle, attentive, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your fur baby will always be safe, cared for, and paid attention to with me. I send updates, I pay attention to the little things, and I make sure your baby feels comfortable while you’re away. I’m very relaxed, and my dogs have full freedom to roam around their home — and I will make sure guest get that same comfort and freedom while still being safe and supervised.

Schedule

I work from home, so my babies go out every 2 hours for potty breaks, plus a good walk before or after my shift. Your dog will fall into that same routine with me - breaks, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. When time permits, I love taking them to the on-site dog park (only when the dogs are alone though)

Safety, trust & environment

Your fur baby’s safety is my top priority. My home is clean, calm, and fully dog-friendly. I supervise all play, keep doors secured, and make sure every dog is comfortable, safe, and understood. I treat every dog with patience and respect. I’m gentle, responsible, and I pay attention special attention to their individual personalities to make sure they are comfortable. My babies have free roam in a safe environment, and any dog in my care gets that same comfort while still being watched, loved, and protected. “You can trust that your dog will never be left alone for long, and they’ll always be in a space designed for their safety and peace of mind.

Pets

A typical day

They will join my daily routine as I already do puzzle enrichment, toy play sessions, and walks every day with my dogs, and I plan to fully integrate your dog into that schedule—adjusting to their comfort level, age, and energy.

Before any stay, I like to learn about your dog’s needs. This includes their temperament, energy level, daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medications or special instructions. Knowing their boundaries (what they love, what stresses them, how they play) helps me care for them safely and comfortably. Every dog is different—so I tailor my care to their personality and needs. For everyone’s safety, I require that all visiting dogs are current on flea & tick prevention. This helps protect your dog, my dogs, and my home. I also appreciate knowing if your pup has ever had a flea sensitivity or reaction to a specific product.
