Love Dogs & Home Full Time

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs and cats for 15 years. Animals make me really happy so I always make sure to give them all the attention and care they need. I have a very flexible schedule. I have learned to be patient over the years because every animal has a different personality. I don’t just consider them as dogs or cats, they have souls just as humans. I love my dog and I would treat your furry friend the same as I do my bundle of joy. I find boarding animals in someone’s home is 100x better than boarding them in a kennel and it is way cheaper. They receive more care and attention than they’d get being in a kennel.

Imani took excellent care of our 2 dogs Marley and Rita for 2 weeks. She is caring, professional, very experienced, and provided daily updates with photos. We left in peace knowing that our loved fur babies were in great care. I strongly recommend Imani.

I’m so grateful Imani was available to take care of my senior special needs dog last minute for me! Nina is a cranky blind golden girl with anxiety. Imani was very patient and was able to be there with her while she was adjusting. Imani has a pup as well which I know helped Nina feel more secure. Thank you so much!

Imani took great care of Manchego on a last minute booking for boarding. She took him to the park a few times and updated us with videos and pictures, which we loved. Definitely would book again!

Information Imani W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about you dog/cats personality and habits. If they have any anxiety, aggression, or if they mark inside of new places, pull while on leash, etc. I will try my best to maintain their same routine. If they mark territory please let me know before they arrive. I will charge a $100 cleaning fee if they mark on rugs/carpet. If medicine needs to be administered please provide me the condition of your animal and any side effects they may experience. If you could also send a picture/screenshot of their vaccination records just so I can make sure they are vaccinated before staying in my home. I do have a small dog who is also vaccinated but I want to ensure her safety and health when she is around your loving furry one.

A typical day

I like to find different parks wherever I am or sidewalks with lots of grass. If your dog cannot go to dog parks let me know. I take most small dogs with me whenever I have small errands to run. I also like to walk around quiet parts of the neighborhood.

I work from home 100% so your pet will be with me all day. I can help ease the anxiety they may get by being away from home by ensuring they’re comfortable and showing them they are in a good place. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood and have a dog park outside of my building and another dog park directly across the street from me.
