    Small Dog Oasis! A lifelong dog lover, I specialize in caring for small dogs 24/7 providing comfort, fun and safety for all. We have a 'smoke-free' environment without cages, kennels or other types of pets. Our ‘dog friendly’ home has ample space, rooms, beds and couches. Our large backyard is fully fenced with a pool adjacent the greenbelt along a Creek with walking trails to enjoy nature's paradise. Our daily routine may include taking a walk around the neighborhood, then rest up before we head to (Small) Dog Park for play and social interaction. We spend our days full of TLC, cuddles, playtime, naps, meals, treats, fresh water, brushing etc. Have peace of mind that your special furry family member(s) are in good hands and we can forward pics or videos of your pet(s) daily. My extensive canine experience includes growing up with and personal connections to German Shepherds, CockaPoo, Lab Mix, Tibetan terrier, and currently a special Yorkie Mix named Lucky.
