The nation's largest network of 5-star pet sitters and dog walkers

**About me**
I have an Australian shepherd mix, she is 2 years old. Great with other dogs. I have been caring for her since she was a puppy. I am currently working towards my Veterinarian assistant certificate so that i will have even more qualifications by the end of the year. I have volunteered at a local shelter back in Ohio where I cared for dogs and cats. My home in Ohio has ginuea pigs and bearded dragons so I have experience with reptiles and small animals. I live in a decent sized 2 bedroom separate town with my husband and dog, even though we don't have a years of our own we have a huge gated community that I walk my dog around about 3 times a day so they will get enough exercise.

**About my home/services**
It's an apartment on the second floor, plenty of outdoor space but must be leashed as it's not individual yard spaces. I am currently unemployed so I will be home pretty much all day, I will be walking the dogs around the complex quite a few times a day, and when we aren't walking there are plenty of toys here for them to play with plus there's another dog so they will be playing together as well. I will feed them in separate areas just to be cautious, never know what could happen. We have a patio that I leave access to since my dog likes to lay in the sun. Due to restrictions set by the apartment I am not allowed to have Pit bulls or dobermans in my apartment, I will be more than welcomed to watch them at your place if you have those breeds, they happen to be my top 2 breeds.

**About my neighborhood**
My neighborhood is a gated community, there are plenty of other dogs around we usually meet a few while walking. Plenty of grassy areas to play if dog is trained off leash.

**What to expect**
Long walks, lots of play time, controlled eating setting, nap times. Willing to have bath time as well for additional charge. Feel free to bring their own crate or toys. Anything that will make them feel comfortable is always welcomed.

**Special rules or requests**
Bring food/water bowl. Anything that dog may need for sleeping or comfort. Again, I can not board Pit bulls or dobermans but ask about petsitting if interested. Pets must get along with my dog before confirming booking so meet and greets are necessary.

I have always had a huge love for animals of all kinds! My parents bred poodles. So we had little puppies around all the time. Which might have something to do with my even bigger love of large dogs! (Huskies, Rottweilers) As much as I'm drawn to animals, they are also drawn to me as well. I have had multiple pets in multiple times of my life. Dogs, fish, mice, and cats.
What I really enjoy doing, is taking dogs to the park or the beach! I enjoy running with them and playing. I give a lot of love to my animals. And that goes for all animals I come in contact with!

Receive a $20 discount off your first DogVacay booking of 3 nights or more with us! Your pup will love our 3-acre ranch with a country feel, but city close! We believe that pets prefer to be with real people, in real homes...and not left in cages. Here at Hounds To Horses, we provide a welcoming environment, individual attention, and your pet will be treated like a member of our family. Since 2003 we've been providing professional & reliable pet care. I am a full time pet care provider and my husband is a retired Marine. We also breed and show our American Quarter Horses.

The number of dogs we take is limited to 6, so we can provide your dog(s) with a quality stay! We are not set up to accept dogs under 1-year of age. We have NO children or cats. Our ranch home is set up to cater to your dog’s comfort with both carpet and tile flooring, three doggy couches, multiple comfy dog beds, plus TWO separate doggy doors for outdoor access into 2 of our 3 separated natural terrain fenced play yards. Two of these adjoining yards can be opened into one big “all play” yard. Our main play yard has double fencing, and while inside our home there is no direct access to any front exterior doors, ensuring your pup has a safe and PAWtastic time here with us!

The typical day on the ranch begins with a short romp outside before breakfast. All doggy guests are fed their own food to keep them “regular”, are separated during meal times, then given a bit of "down time" to digest. Then the doggy doors are open for the day! Dogs can come and go from our house via the two separate doggy doors into the fenced backyard to romp and play, chase each other up the hill, hang out under the big shade tree or covered patio, nap in the sun, or just relax inside our home. The choice is theirs! We’ll even text you some pictures of your dog(s) having fun!

In the evening all dogs are fed dinner, then it's hang-out time with us to watch TV in our den, or nap under the desk in our office while the "paper work" gets filed for the day. Last potty call is typically around 10:30pm, then the doggy doors are closed for the night. All dogs sleep inside our home. Your pup can pull up a spot with other dogs throughout or home, or near us to sleep. We also have large crates for those who are crate trained to ensure everyone has a PAWsome night’s rest.

All guest dogs must be able to live peacefully with other dogs, be non-aggressive, be potty trained, plus be current on a flea program and all vaccinations. Dogs that are under 1-year old, dogs who don't play well in a group setting, dogs who climb or dig at fences, dogs who continually bark, who whine or howl, and those dogs that chew shoes & furniture are NOT accepted as their needs are greater than we can handle.

Because of the cage-free environment here, times are BY APPOINTMENT only for the safety of the dogs.:
>> Check-out time on the final day is 10am.
>> Dogs staying past 10am on the final day will be only be charge a daycare fee instead of paying for a full day.
>> We work 7-days a week, so in an attempt to "get a life", we maintain the following business hours: Mon-Sat 8:30a-6pm, Sun 9a-10a & 4p-6p.
