About
I understand the importance for fur-babies to receive love and attention when they can't be with you! Their safety, comfort, and happiness is my top priority! My home is completely doggie-proof with a huge, fenced back yard.
Doggies are under constant supervision and NEVER crated, caged, or locked up while in my care (unless otherwise instructed by owner).
In addition to being a life-long dog owner and lover, I also have an AAS in Vet Technology along with several years of professional experience in working with animals. I worked in an animal clinic for seven years and managed a mini-horse ranch for four years. I'm now a graduate student at CWU (online) which means I'm home all the time! This allows me to devote constant attention and care to your doggy.
My household includes my husband and 2 teenage sons; we are a loving and patient family. I only accept one family at a time. You are invited to visit my home for a meet 'n' greet to check me out and introduce your pup. Please visit my website to learn more about my services.
I look forward to meeting you!
I can't save the whole world, but I can make sure that your doggy is in a safe & loving environment while you are away! Dogs are so special; they teach us how to love unconditionally & give unselfishly! That's why I love what I do; I get to meet new doggies to enrich my life, & hopefully do the same for them...

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My household does not discriminate against any breed; we love them all! Please let me know if your pet has any allergies or other health issues that need special attention, or if they have suffered any physical or emotional trauma (such as being a rescue doggy). Please disclose if they are not potty-trained and/or have incontinence issues along with any unique behavioral issues, i.e., digging, chewing, etc... I'm more than willing to manage challenging issues, but I need to know about them for their safety and comfort. I also like to know about their favorite activities and where your doggie prefers to sleep, i.e., your bed, the couch, etc...
My home is very liberal; doggies are welcome to lounge on couches, beds, or whatever they are accustomed to (per your instructions)... No animal in my home will ever be crated, caged, or confined to small enclosed spaces. I'm a stay-at-home mom/student and will be here 24/7 to care for your fur-baby...
While in my care, I can take your doggy/doggies for a walk, run, or to the park. If you prefer I don't take them outside my home, there are lots of activities we will do in my huge, fully fenced backyard! I'm completely accommodating and always follow personalized instructions you give for the care of your doggy.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
There are healthier, kinder, & safer alternatives for day and overnight care for your fur-babies. Please consider placing them in a loving home where they are free to safely roam and have a great time while you are away; they'd do the same for you! :)
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
How many other dogs will be under the provider's care at the time of services?
(I typically only have one client at a time unless otherwise requested by owners.)
Does the provider have a safe & secure facility to provide quality care for your fur-baby(-ies)?
(My home is ultra doggy-proof and set up with them in mind. In addition, I have a large, fully-fenced backyard for lots of outside play and exercise.)
Will doggies be given proper supervision, attention, & love?
(I am a stay-at-home mom and provide constant, attentive care and supervision.)
