Dependable Care for Your Angel Babies

Petaluma, California

  • Your dog receives thoughtful, individualized care shaped around their needs. Their day with me might include neighborhood walks, local trail hikes, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed companionship and structure. On hot days may visit the beach or a nearby river, or spend time splashing and chasing balls in the pool or wading pool. If it’s a good match, dogs can also play with my dog Biggy — an enthusiastic, rambunctious playmate who loves to run and wrestle. Social/Playtime is always limited to 2 to 4 well-matched companions, rather than the large unpredictable groups that can arise at boarding facilities.

    I use basic commands and reward desirable behavior using positive reinforcement.

    You’ll receive thoughtful updates with photos or videos.

    Half Day (up to 4 hours): $40
    Full Day (up to 8 hours): $80

    Best for: puppies, shy or anxious dogs, seniors. For dogs who benefit from following or walking beside another dog, I can bring my dog Biggy along.

  • A well-exercised dog is a happy dog — more peace of mind for you and less mischief at home. Your pup joins Meno and her dog Biggy for a 2.5–3 hour hike on nearby trails, open spaces, and beaches. We’ll cover approximately 2–4 miles walking, running and exploring with a stops for water and shade. Mileage can be shortened or lengthened according to your dog’s needs. Once Meno has established reliable recall with your dog, much of the adventure can be leash-free. With Biggy’s playful presence and Meno’s attentive guidance, your dog will return home tired, happy, and fulfilled.

    $40/dog for a trail hike

    $50/dog for a beach adventure

    Best for: active dogs who need exercise, enrichment, and the mental challenges that trail hikes provide. Limited to 3 dogs per outing (aside from Biggy).
