Over the years, my husband, Jon, and I have raised two wonderful sons and shared our home with many beloved dogs. Most recently, we had our precious Sky Terrier, Rodney, and our Chihuahua, Bear (pictured in my first photo). While we don’t currently have dogs of our own because we love to travel, opening our home to your pups has become the perfect way to continue doing what we love most. After caring for nearly 200+ families and earning 5-star reviews, I know how important it is to provide not only exceptional care for your dog, but also peace of mind for you. I’ll send lots of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m a retired hairstylist and now care for dogs full-time. My husband also works from home most of the week, so there’s usually someone here with your pup. We’re very flexible with our schedule and genuinely love having dogs in our home. I understand every dog is different. Some are confident and social, while others need a little extra reassurance when they’re away from home. My goal is always to help them feel safe, relaxed, and loved from the moment they arrive. We have a beautiful fenced patio with turf, a wonderful dog run in our complex, and we’re surrounded by great walking paths. We enjoy neighborhood walks, trips to the beach, visits to local parks, and, of course, lots of playtime and snuggle time—always with your permission and your dog’s comfort in mind. Our mornings usually start with a nice walk around the complex for potty time, followed by breakfast while I enjoy my morning tea. I go to Pilates most mornings for about 1½ to 2 hours, and during that time my husband is usually home with our furry guests. Throughout the day we take plenty of potty breaks, walks, and time to relax together. If your dog enjoys adventures, we’re happy to include them in our outings whenever appropriate and approved by you. If they’re happiest cuddling on the couch or relaxing at home, that’s exactly what we’ll do instead! Above all, your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully introduce dogs to new environments and other dogs only when appropriate, and I always follow your routines, preferences, and instructions. We have extra dog beds available, but many pups feel most comfortable with something from home, like their favorite blanket or bed. Dogs are welcome on our furniture—and even our bed if that’s what they’re used to! We want them to feel as comfortable here as they do in their own home. My goal is simple: to treat every dog as if they were one of our own—with lots of love, attention, exercise, cuddles, and personalized care. I know how hard it is to leave your best friend behind, and I promise to care for them just as I would my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your sweet pup! ❤️🐾
