When your dogs stay with me, they become family.
I bond with each and every one of them in whatever way they allow me to, just as I would with my own dogs. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and understood, and I know that trust doesn’t happen overnight. Sometimes it takes time, patience, respecting their boundaries, and hopefully, a whole lot of fun along the way.
So when something happens to them, whether they get sick, injured, or are struggling with a behavioral issue, I worry. I’m a worrywart by nature, especially when it comes to the dogs I care for. But I’m also incredibly grateful to be included in their lives beyond the time they spend here with me. That bond doesn’t end when they go home.
So, It means more than you know when owners continue to reach out, share updates, ask questions, and include me in their dogs’ care even after their stay is over. Whether it’s navigating a behavioral challenge or simply being there to offer support during a difficult medical situation, I will always do my best to help in whatever way I can. I’m not a veterinarian, but I can offer support, share what I know, and help you navigate things within my scope. I’ll bring you coffee at the emergency vet, or hold their paw while they get poked. If I can help them or you, I always will.
I don’t just care for your dogs while they’re here. I care about them when they leave, too. I celebrate their progress, worry when things aren’t right, and genuinely want the very best for them long after they walk out my door.
Thank you to the owners who trust me not only with their dogs’ care, but with being a part of their lives. That trust is something I will never take for granted.
