Pet care experience

Dogs Stay, Play, and Feel at Home

I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, so caring for dogs, cats, and other pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood to their senior years, and I understand the different needs at every stage. What sets me apart is the blend of lifelong experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I know how to handle high-energy pups who need extra playtime, provide gentle care for senior pets, and create a safe, comfortable environment for every dog in between. With two friendly dogs of my own, a Vizsla and a Wirehaired Griffon, your pup will have both human and canine companionship during their stay.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home often, which means I can check in on your pup or cat throughout the day and give them plenty of attention. I'll make sure your pets have companionship, consistency, and comfort while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and feel at ease. With two friendly dogs and a Persian cat, your pet will have companionship, but I also know how to manage introductions and keep everyone safe and comfortable. We also have the ability to keep our pets on a separate floor of the home.

I always want your pet to feel safe and cared for, so it helps me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs ahead of time. Please share details like medical conditions, medications, allergies, and any quirks or triggers (such as loud noises or other pets). I also love to know their favorite activities, training cues they respond to, and any house rules (like furniture or crate use). The more I know, the more I can keep their routine consistent and make them feel right at home!
