Pet care experience

Dog loving family with fenced yard

I’m a stay-at-home mom, and a lifelong dog lover. Growing up, my family had miniature schnauzers, and over the years I’ve had the joy of owning boykin spaniels and a springer spaniel. We currently share our home with Coco, our sweet boykin spaniel. In our family, dogs are treated like true members of the household — surrounded by love, care, and attention. We have a clean, dog-friendly home with a large fenced backyard that's perfect for playtime and exercise. I’m home throughout the day, so I’m available for frequent potty breaks and one-on-one time. I also have plenty of experience administering medications if needed. We’ll make sure your pup feels right at home — with plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles.

Schedule

I am home most of the time, so available for frequent potty breaks, if needed. They really shouldn't have to be alone too much at all!
