Hi there! Dogs have always been a vital part of my family. Growing up as an only child, animals were my main companions, and caring for them comes naturally to me. At home, I personally take care of my 10-year-old Labrador—handling his daily grooming, joint-friendly walks adapted to his pace, oral medication, and constant affection. Because of this, I fully understand the patience, responsibility, and gentle attention needed for both senior dogs requiring extra care and energetic puppies learning their routines. As an international student, being far from my own dog is tough. Caring for local pets allows me to offer that same love and dedication while giving you absolute peace of mind while you are away. My Services & Home Setup: Care & Supervision: When pets stay with me for boarding or day care, they receive constant attention and supervision, as I prefer to stay with them rather than leave them alone. Walks & Visits: For routine care, my walks typically last 30 minutes, and my drop-in visits range from 45 minutes to an hour. Home Environment: I live in an apartment with access to a fully enclosed garden area downstairs, providing a safe outdoor space. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax on the sofas, though beds are off-limits. What you can expect when booking with me: Tailored Routine: I strictly adhere to your dog's schedule regarding feeding, hydration, walk durations, and oral medication. Daily Updates: You will receive frequent photos, videos, and detailed status updates after every visit or walk so you never have to worry. Safety & Calm Approach: I always keep dogs securely on a leash, avoid unsafe interactions with unfamiliar dogs, and maintain a calm, reassuring presence. Home & Rule Respect: I will uphold the exact training guidelines, boundaries, and habits you have established for your home.
