Fido's Friend Loving care for your furkids in your home or ours If you’re like me, your pets are family members. I am an experienced, life-long dog owner and dog lover.

When you can’t be home for them, whether it’s for work, vacation or other obligations, you want your best friends taken care of with the same love and attention you give them. I believe that most dog owners prefer loving homes (theirs or ours) to kennels for their furkids when seeking dog sitting or walking services. I will give you the peace of mind you seek by providing your furkids with quality

, loving care while you're away. Whether your dog is shy or bold, young or senior, large or small, I will provide loving care for your best friend in your home or mine*. My home has a large, fenced backyard so your dog will have plenty of room to run and play. Your dogs will get plenty of outside potty breaks, and even dog walking if requested. Plus, your dog will be with me throughout the day and night as I work primarily from home. My professional background includes small business development and consulting, specializing in human resources and recruiting. I also consider myself a dog hobbyist in that I have fostered dozens of dogs on their way to a better life. Although I'm not a certified trainer, I know a great deal about training and canine behavior. I use only positive reinforcement and rewards and can continue any (positive) training program you have underway. I have three dogs of my own - all rescues - all are lab mixes. They are very social and good with other dogs.

*If your dogs are staying in my home, they must be properly socialized and up to date on vaccinations. If not, they can still be candidates for sitting in your home.

I cleaned house all afternoon and when I sweep up the Golden Glitter from the floor, I stack the dog beds in the corner. How many beds does a princess need to feel like a princess? Asking for a friend

🎉 Belated Happy Gotcha Day to our OG wild child, Maisie! 🎉
This girl strutted into doggy daycare on 7/24/20 like she owned the place—at just 4 months old and already full of opinions. There were days I wasn’t sure either of us would survive her puppyhood (you know the kind: zoomies, piranha teeth, zero chill 😅).

Now she’s the smartest smarty-pants in the pack—equal parts sass, smarts, and snuggles—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We love you, Maisie girl! 💛🐾

What a handy guide from The Rocky Mountain Lab Rescue . Keep in mind, they're in Colorado so your experience may vary here on the surface of the sun, aka Kansas.

🌡️🔥 Sizzling or Just Toasty? Your dog might be feeling the heat more than you think!

We received this great tip recently and think its a great reminder to keep in mind as the summer continues. Before heading out for zoomies or a summer stroll, use this handy heat risk chart to check if it’s safe for your pup!

💦 Make sure shade & water are available
🐾 Know when it’s time to keep it indoors

Let’s keep those tails wagging safely this summer! ☀️🐶

🎉 Everyone say hi to Goose! 🐾 This blue-eyed heartthrob is the newest member of the Fido’s Friend pack and he’s already stealing hearts (and fingers) with those tiny piranha puppy teeth. 🦷💥

We’re so excited to provide Goose with our drop-in visits here in beautiful Prairie Village! Whether he’s playing tug, giving side-eye, or launching sneak attacks on his toy (or our hand 😅), this pup is 100% chaos and 200% adorable.

Welcome to the wild world of puppyhood, Goose—we’re here for all of it! 💚

It's that time of year!

Whaaaaaat fresh hell is this? All of this thick, heavily dyed cardboard was used to send me a %$ #&^ Visa card. Seriously? Who made this decision? Because apparently they're not living on the same planet as the rest of us that is drowning in GARBAGE. I suppose I could see this if it was a fancy pants AMEX card with a bougie clientele (not really because AMEX has more sense than this). Man alive I've gotten fairly accustomed to the stupid tone deaf decisions of giant corporations but this is really beyond the pale offensive. I left Verizon Wireless 9 years ago because of their lousy customer service but allowed myself to be lured back by a good deal. The expression is overused but I'm using it.

Loving Care for your Furkid

If you’re like me, your pets are family members. When you can’t be home for them, whether it’s for work, vacation or other obligations, you want your best friends taken care of with the same love and attention you give them. I believe that most dog owners prefer loving homes (theirs or ours) to kennels for their furkids when seeking dog sitting or walking services. I will give you the peace of mind you seek by providing your furkids with quality, loving care while you're away. I am an experienced, life-long dog owner and dog lover. Whether your dog is shy or bold, young or senior, large or small, I will provide loving care for your best friend in your home or mine*. My home has a large, fenced backyard so your dog will have plenty of room to run and play. Your dogs will get plenty of outside potty breaks, and even dog walking if requested. Plus, your dog will be with me throughout the day and night as I strive to match Fido’s environment as closely as possible. I also offer day dog care services at an affordable hourly or daily rate. If you're hosting a party or any event and need your dogs away from home for several hours, you can count on me for day services as well. My professional background includes small business development and consulting, specializing in helping small business owners organize their home & work lives. I work primarily from home so you can be assured your dogs are safe, engaged, and well cared for.

I have three dogs of my own - all rescues - all are lab mixes. They are very social and good with other dogs. I also have fostered dozens of dogs on their way to a better life. Although I'm not a certified trainer, I know a great deal about training and canine behavior. I use only positive reinforcement and rewards and can continue any (positive) training program you have underway.

In general we run a tight ship while keeping it fun! All of the furkids are fed separately and closely supervised when enjoying treats or toys. We do allow dogs on the furniture but I will respect your wishes in terms of what rules you use in your home so as not to create any confusion for Fido or send him home with an undesirable new habit. *If your dogs are staying in my home, they must be properly socialized and up to date on vaccinations. If not, they can still be candidates for sitting in your home.
