About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember, with my favorite being dogs. I have always grown up with a dog in my family home and now I have my own. Bella is a 12-year-old chihuahua/Pug mix. She absolutely adores being around other dogs, especially ones who will chase her and play. Bella is my "old Lady", she is not too high energy, so she also enjoys lounging around being tucked away where she is most warm. So, you would never have to worry about your dog being in an unsafe or overly stimulated environment. In addition, I do have three children in the home who are auspicious dog lovers. My oldest daughters are 16 & 15 and I also have a fearless 6-year-old in the home who love snuggles, tug-a-war and belly rubs. although none of my children have a fear of animals, I am also very vigilant and never leave them unsupervised around any pup who is not ours to keep. Your fur-baby would be loved on every second of the day, well supervised and well-cared for while you are away. My job is to make sure you are worry-free while away from your fur-baby. I will keep in informed throughout the day (should you choose) I will send pictures and give frequent updates. If you are anything like me, then your pet is not just an animal, they are our children, our family and I want you know they are in great hands/paws. I currently work from home. I leave out some mornings around 8:05am and return roughly around 8:15am as my daughter’s school is close to home. My workstation is set up in the living room, so I am always able to keep a keen eye on your dog. My work-from-home position also allows for daily walks, love and attention. I currently reside in a townhome I have a large courtyard where the dogs can run. I am also close by a large dog park where I frequent with Bella. I live in a dog friendly community, so dog walking is welcome.

“Jazmyn was great with my dog!! I would highly recommend her. She sent constant updates and pictures.”

“Lucy was fantastic! We did a meet and greet beforehand, and I could tell right away that she was someone I could trust. She was wonderful with my dog, followed all of my instructions, and kept in great communication throughout, including sending plenty of photos. I’d absolutely book with her again if the need comes up!”

“Wendy was amazing and I will definitely be booking with her again! Cali loved her from the very first meeting, which makes it so much easier to leave her. Wendy was very communicative and took the best care of our girl!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Family and friends have always told me I should take care of dogs professionally. I one day want to be a vet or even a dog trainer! I plan on working with dog trainers in the future to better my understanding of dogs and why they do the things they do. I have 2 dogs of my own! A pitbull and dachshund mix, they’re pretty crazy when together. I rescued my pitbull from a bad environment that she was in and I wouldn’t trade her for the world. Now her and my dachshund play all the time and they live each other so much. I would be able to watch your fur baby/babies any day and any time! I do have a son that will be 1 soon and will more than likely be with me whenever I did watch your puppies! I take care of your dogs and home as it is my own. I will keep everything nice and neat and even straight up for you if needed! I like to leave the houses in better condition than what I came to just so that you guys know that everything is being taken care of and in good hands. I also will send lots of pictures and updates throughout the day! If you would like pictures every hour to make you more comfortable I can 100% do that for you.
