Your Pup’s New Favorite Human

Dogs, Cats & Chaos — I’ve Got This! As a stay-at-home mom of 4, my house is always full of love, laughter… and the occasional tennis ball flying past! 🐾 We share our home with a sweet Dalmatian and friendly cats, and over the years I’ve rescued, fostered, and cared for more animals than I can count. My kids are little animal whisperers — they know when it’s time to play and when it’s time to give pets their space (especially during mealtime!). Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, backyard zoomies, or a calm, quiet spot for a nap, your fur baby will feel right at home here.

Our experience with Winter was WONDERFUL! She took great care of our goldendoodle and sent photos every day. I would recommend her for dog care to anyone in the Anthem area.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

There’s always someone home to keep your pup company — and if I can’t do a drop-off or pick-up, my Husband can step in to help. Your fur baby will never be left alone and will be treated like part of our family from the moment they arrive. I send one cute photo update per day so you know your pup is happy without interrupting your trip — but you’re always welcome to reach out anytime for extra updates.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, Trust & Comfort – Guaranteed Your pup’s safety and happiness come first here. We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, plus frequent potty breaks and exercise throughout the day. Whether your dog is kennel-trained or prefers free roam, we welcome them and make sure they feel comfortable. Need medication given? No problem — I’m happy to handle that at no extra charge. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times (within reason) to make your travel plans stress-free. As for meet & greets… For safety and comfort, meet-and-greets focus on showing you the home environment, yard, and routine rather than direct dog introductions. My resident dog is a Dalmatian, and like many Dalmatians she can be a bit territorial during first introductions, especially with owners present. Guest dogs are always introduced slowly and calmly once the stay begins, which allows everyone to settle in and typically leads to much smoother interactions.

Pets

A typical day

Our days are a happy mix of: • Morning potty breaks and playtime in the yard • Snuggles and companionship while I’m home with the kids • Midday walks or backyard zoomies to burn off energy 🐕 • Quiet rest time (on the couch or a cozy bed) while the house settles • Evening family time, complete with more play, cuddles, and attention Whether your pup loves nonstop play or prefers a peaceful nap spot, I’ll match their pace and keep them happy, safe, and loved all day long.

A Few Important Things to Know For everyone’s safety and comfort, I ask that your dog is up to date on vaccines (no paperwork needed — I trust my pet parents). All pups should be friendly with children, other dogs, and our cats. Please share ahead of time if your dog has any special needs, quirks, or behavioral concerns, as well as any medications they’ll need during their stay — I’m happy to administer them. We do have cats, but don’t worry — they’re pros at finding cozy hiding spots whenever doggy guests come over. 🐾
