About: Life long dog lover. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have a relaxed, loving and safe home for belly rubs. Seniors and Small friendly breeds welcomed. I am currently working part time mostly remote. So I have plenty time to give attention and love to your doggie. I’m available for boarding and walking. I have a fenced back patio for the fur babies. My guest have full range of the home. I have a multi poo myself and I can easily crate your dog if needed at your request.

About: 1. Behavior and Temperament Expertise (30+ Years) I have successfully raised and managed numerous dogs with complex backgrounds, allowing me to be highly intuitive and proactive in my care. This means I possess special skills in: • Senior Care: My decades of experience have made me highly proficient in managing mobility issues, recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, and strictly adhering to complex medication schedules. • Anxiety & Stress Management: I am skilled at reading dog body language and proactively implementing calming strategies to ensure nervous or reactive dogs feel safe and settled in my care. • Puppy Management: I understand the crucial early stages of development and can provide consistent structure, positive reinforcement, and management of house training/crate training protocols. 2. High-Level Safety & Emergency Readiness While I hope to never have an emergency, I prioritize safety above all else. My experience has taught me to remain calm and decisive: • Proactive Emergency Handling: I know how to distinguish between a minor incident and a true emergency. I maintain excellent communication and will swiftly enact the emergency plan we set up during our Meet & Greet, ensuring your vet is contacted immediately if necessary. In short, I don't just love dogs—I bring three decades of specialized, hands-on knowledge to every booking, offering a truly experienced level of care that prioritizes your dog's safety and emotional well-being. My day revolves around my 2 golden rescue mixes lol. I WFH and always make sure they get at least an hr long walk in. My foundational philosophy is exactly what you mentioned: I treat your dog as if they were my own beloved family member. Given my 30+ years of experience adopting and raising shelter dogs, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and compassionate care, which is customized based on the service provided.
