I am home with my daughter when not running errands. We do run errands most days, so dogs are home for a few hours by themselves. If this is an issue, at least for those boarding, let me know and we can discuss different arrangements!

Information Willow P. would like to know about your pet

I love every breed of dog, but I don’t like working with un socialized dogs. I don’t mind puppies, but aggressive dogs are obviously not fun to take on walks.

A typical day

I love walking with my daughter and our dogs (and even sometimes the cat if it’s a warm enough day! There are many opportunities for potty breaks and playtime. Not only that, but we often take big trips to dog parks that are fun to explore with well behaved dogs! Just general “ruff” and tumble is fun for us and I love toys and playing fetch. There’s plenty of toys for the dogs inside and outside, as well as plenty of things a cat can do inside!

Pet care experience

Hello Folks! My name is Willow Ortiz and I am your local historian. My family, including my husband and daughter, are animal enthusiasts and have four; my service dog Argos, his little (only by age!!) brother Dante, the smallest FDR, and the family gremlin Chubbs. I not only have experience with both canine and feline, but I have extensive experience with exotics from reptiles and rodents to avian and farm. I work from home full time so I have wide availbity for any type of care from boarding to walks. I travel around town and more than willing to drive to your home for drop-off or pick-up. Let me know if you have questions or concerns, I will answer as soon as possible. Stay safe!!
