I appreciate Valarie watching Noki. I think he had a good weekend and I felt he was well taken care of. I will definitely use her services again.

Schedule

I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and preferences, and I treat every pup like part of the family. Whether you have a high-energy puppy or a chill senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I work for myself so my schedule is flexible.

Safety, trust & environment

I always prioritize your dog’s comfort and well-being. I make sure they feel safe and at ease with me, stick to their feeding schedule, keep their water bowl fresh, and ensure regular potty breaks. If they’re up for it, I love taking dogs on long, enriching walks—but I’m just as happy to go at a slower pace for pups who prefer short strolls. I also have experience caring for dogs with special needs, including those who are disabled, blind, or deaf.

Pets

A typical day

🐾 Walks & Outdoor Time – Whether your pup enjoys long strolls, quick potty breaks, or fun sniff-around adventures, I’ll tailor walks to their energy level. 🎾 Playtime – From fetch in the backyard to tug-of-war or puzzle toys, I’ll keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated. 🛋️ Cuddle Time & Companionship – I know how important comfort is, especially when their favorite human is away. I’ll provide lots of love and attention to help them feel at ease. 🍽️ Feeding & Treat Time – I’ll stick to their regular feeding schedule and any dietary needs or restrictions. 💊 Medication (if needed) – Comfortable administering oral or topical medications as directed. 🧽 Basic Grooming – Light brushing, wiping paws, or cleaning up any messes—whatever keeps your dog happy and clean. 📸 Photo Updates – I love sending cute photos and updates so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re gone!
