I love to stimulate my dogs by giving them the exercise they need! Sniff around, play fetch, tug a war, and then we can have a lazy night on the couch.

Pet care experience

Hi there! 🐾 My name is Thalya, and I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with all sizes and personalities. I have a 7 year old Golden Retriever and a 3 year old mini Dachshund. I live right by a scenic trail for great walks, but I’m happy to match your dog’s energy, whether that means outdoor adventures or relaxing at home. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. ❤️ Please share any allergies or special care needs, and make sure your furry friend is up to date on vaccinations. I host a maximum of two families at a time to give each fur baby plenty of attention. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Thalya was amazing. She was super sweet and loved Jaxon like he was her own. She gave me numerous updates, pictures and videos. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my pup with her.

Thalya was amazing. We met for a meet and greet the week before and she really took the time to get to know our mini dachshund puppy Ziggy and make him comfortable with her lovely golden retriever. She even gave us a dog toy to take home with us so that Ziggy could get used to her and her dogs scent before his stay. On the day she sent multiple updates with pictures and videos and I could see how happy he was. She even started teaching him a new command and he gave her a very endearing goodbye. This was his first time away from us and he clearly had a good time. We already booked his next stay.

Thalya is extremely caring and communicative. She pays extra attention to our pups needs especially since they are very picky eaters and high energy. Her and her husband treat our pups as their own and send thoughtful updates throughout. I highly recommend!

Thalya was really sweet and accepting of my anxious dog. She was very communicative AND my dog came back smelling like cookies
