I also have dog bowls and toys!

About: Lifelong animal lover, rescue dog mom, and someone who truly understands how much our pets mean to us. I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all kinds, from puppies who want to play all day to sweet seniors who just need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special routines, and making sure your pet feels safe, seen, and loved while you’re away. I’ve rescued and fostered several dogs over the years (including my current pups!), and I know how important trust and patience are—especially with animals who may need a little extra time to warm up. I also love the outdoors and make sure every dog in my care gets plenty of fresh air, exercise, and attention based on their energy level and needs. Whether your dog wants to curl up and nap or explore the neighborhood, I’ll be there to make them feel at home. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family—because to me, they are. Currently I am available at all times of the day and week. Morning or night. I will be able to accommodate needs ranging from; in home sitting, house sitting, daily walks/care...etc. In my home, your dog will be welcomed into a calm and loving space shared with my two small, dog-friendly pups. I have one kennel available that can be set up in a quiet, separate room if your pet needs their own space to relax. If you prefer to bring your own kennel, I’m more than happy to accommodate—whatever makes your fur baby feel most at home. While in my care, all dogs will be kept on leash at all times for safety. My home has a peaceful, zen-like atmosphere. Whether it’s for a short stay or longer visit, your pet will be treated like part of the family—and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way with texts and photos. PS I also offer dog baths upon request!
