Outdoor adventure & cuddle expert

Pet care experience

Lifelong Dog-Mom who loves to get outside with my little Mutt and explore! We’re an active bunch that love to play and run, rain or shine! I’ve raised and trained four puppies throughout my life and have the patience and understanding your furry family member needs. The pups can play in the backyard or inside a spacious living room. Your pup will feel right at home or maybe even a little spoiled when they can cuddle up on the couch or bed for a snooze. I love all breeds and ages of friendly dogs and am capable of accommodating special medical and dietary needs. I am happy to discuss your preferred training methods and commands to help reinforce your Pup’s training! With regular trips to the dog park, Chugach Mountains, and lakes, your pup will get lots of exercise and love!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Momo was soooo happy to hang out with pupper friends, and came home nice and tired. Thank you for taking such good care of her!

Tessa was extremely thoughtful and provided wonderful care for my (rather large) dog over the holiday. Her attitude, relationship with her own dogs, and the atmosphere at her place made me very comfortable entrusting her with my boy --
