One Family at a time ❤️ Full attention
About the caregiver
I have years of experience working in Veterinary Emergency Care, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and how to recognize even subtle changes in a pet’s well-being. What sets me apart is the level of personalized, attentive care I provide. For boarding and daycare, I only care for one family at a time, allowing pets to have a calm, low-stress environment with consistent supervision, structure, and routine. I have experience with puppies, high-energy dogs, anxious pets, and pets that need extra patience or close monitoring. I also reinforce routines and basic training consistency based on the owner’s preferences. Throughout the stay, I provide flexible communication with messages, photos, and updates, along with a private pet update page where owners can follow their pet’s day through notes, activities, and pictures in real time. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for; and for owners to feel completely at ease while they are away.

Caregivers Home
I live on the first floor of a two-family home with my husband, teenage son, and our friendly Shih Tzus. Our home is smoke-free, clean, and designed with dogs in mind. We keep floors free of clutter and small objects to provide a safe environment for pets. I only accept one family at a time, regardless of how many dogs are in the household. This helps create a low-stress environment and allows me to provide individualized care and attention to every guest. Guest dogs have their own dedicated resting area next to my home office, where I work throughout the day. I am home most of the time and rarely leave for more than a couple of hours. We have direct access to a backyard through a large glass door, and we live near several parks where we enjoy daily walks. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re here.
