Taking care of doggies since 1987!

Pet care experience

What can I say? I love dogs! I've had dogs all my life and find them to be an amazing addition to anyone’s life specially mine! Ive been pet sitting through Rover for the last 8 years or so but had to stop a few years ago when my beautiful 17 year old Westie passed away as it was hard to be around dogs when I missed mine so much! I truly adore her with all my heart. I am interested in hosting your fur baby because I have found myself missing that awesome dog energy in my life! While at my house, I will assure you that your pup will get all the attention he/she needs and he/she will be treated as if he/she was my own - he/she will get loads of walks, play time and special cuddle time (not so much for them but for myself! ha! I love cuddling w doggies!) I run a tight operation in my house with scheduled walks and feeding times. I work from home full-time so I’m always around to care for them and I own an obscene amount of toys for them to play with so they will never be bored! Your main problem will be that your pup might not want to go back! Ha! I’m just kidding! Why I love dog sitting I grew up with 7 dogs and have usually had around 2 dogs at all times in my "grown up" life. I just love being around dogs and discovering their unique personalities! Meet my pets Currently I don’t have any dogs as my 17 year old westie passed away 2 years ago. About my yard I have a yard and a deck for the pups to get outside time and a trail for some awesome walks! My experience administering medication I'm comfortable with anything so special needs are welcome too!

Christina was sweet as can be and Belle had the best two weeks vacation at her house. She was diligent and fun and lives across from a dog park, how can you beat that?!!

Christina was fantastic! Freddie had a great time - got plenty of chances to play and go potty and feel at home. Christina did an awesome job!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live in a wonderful neighborhood filled with green areas, a cool trail behind my house and a fenced yard and deck for plenty of safe outdoor time! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever he wants! you can bring their bed, if they require a crate I have a crate and if they want to sleep in bed with me they are welcome to hop in! Time I'll spend with your dog Most of the day - if not all day! sometimes I may run and errand here and there but is not ususal
