Does the dog have experience with small children? Schedules and routines (for food, treats, potty, medication, any additional needs) are important for various reasons and keeping them as uniform as possible helps dogs feel at home and eases transitions between home life and stays away. I am happy to chat with clients to get the best understanding of their dog’s needs, routines, likes and personality.

Whether walks or play are preferred, dogs & puppies will get their fill! Having the girls along provides for awesome socialization, and Nori always likes to keep extra treats in her pocket ;) your home and belongings are treated with the utmost care and respect, with safety always top-of-mind. Dogs who stay will enjoy the activities most beloved by them, be it running around the neighborhood dog park to socialize and chase toys, walking leashed through the gated community, lounging indoors to keep cool or on the gates front patio to keep tabs on the mailman, and keeping a lap or the couch warm during an afternoon nap. Feeding, treat, and potty schedules will be adhered to based upon individual needs and routines. I do have experience with elderly dogs and dogs suffering from debilitating physical conditions and understand the importance of compassion and ingenuity when caring for those who need a little extra attention or come with special instructions. My home is kept clean and clutter free, water and a quiet place for relaxation are always available, and there is no need for dogs to climb stairs in the house or around the neighborhood. Each dog is a unique individual, and preferences for care vary. I am flexible and willing to communicate with clients to provide quality, personalized care to keep dogs feeling at home.
