Highlights
Pet care experience
Playdates and attentive care
I've spent years caring for and training three dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. That experience has taught me how to adapt to each dog's unique needs, whether they thrive on play and adventure or prefer a calm, predictable environment. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adhering to allergy or dietary protocols. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any changes that may need extra care, so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well looked after. My goal is to provide a loving, structured environment where every dog feels comfortable, understood, and treated like family.

Ratings and reviews
Victoria looks after my Mishka three days a week while I work in another city, and her place has really become Mishka’s second home. She loves staying there and always comes back calm and content. She plays with Victoria’s dog, enjoys the backyard, and loves their evening trips to the local park to see her friends. They also follow Mishka’s weight-loss routine, which I really appreciate. I feel very comfortable leaving Mishka there and know she’s happy and well taken care of.

Schedule
I work part-time from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods. We spend time relaxing and playing in our fenced backyard, enjoy two daily walks, and, with the owner's permission, can visit the wonderful local Wardlaw Dog Park for safe, supervised socialization and exercise. I tailor each dog's day to their personality, energy level, and routine- whether they love active play, exploring outdoors, or simply staying close by for companionship and cuddles.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My house has a fully fenced backyard with two separate outdoor areas, allowing dogs to have their own space if they prefer a quieter environment. There's also a private outdoor room where they can relax while still enjoying fresh air. Inside, the first floor is thoughtfully set up with dogs in mind. It includes a dedicated dog area with a cozy dog chair, comfortable beds, a crate (if your dog is crate-trained or prefers one), and plenty of toys to keep them engaged. I maintain a clean environment with a robot vacuum that vacuums and mops the floors twice a day.
Pets
A typical day
We’ll enjoy neighborhood walks, playtime and socialization at a spacious off-leash park (with your permission, of course!), and plenty of time to relax at home. Pups can nap in a cozy indoor space, play with the water fountain, explore the fenced backyard, or simply soak up the sunshine. I tailor activities to each dog’s energy level, personality, and routine.
