Thank you for considering my home for your dog’s care. To ensure the best experience for everyone, I only accept small hypoallergenic dogs that are fully potty trained and at least 2 years old. I live in Clinton, MD, and am retired, which allows me to provide full-time attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My daycare hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. I accept only a limited number of dogs so that each guest receives individualized care in a calm, safe, and loving home environment. I have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident while they are away. My goal is to make each dog feel comfortable, secure, and at home. I have a friendly 14 year old male Yorkie/Poodle named Diego who is gentle and accustomed to sharing his space with visiting dogs. Dogs in my care have free roam of the house, access to a fenced backyard, and regular potty breaks every 2–3 hours, or as often as needed. There is also a patio area where dogs can relax in the sun or shade. I do my best to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, rest time, playtime, and any special instructions you provide, so each stay feels familiar and stress-free. Because I am home most of the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I also send daily photos and updates so you can feel reassured knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and well cared for. If your dog is most comfortable with a crate or playpen, you are welcome to bring one. However, dogs are usually relaxed in the living room area with Diego.
