I'm a very responsible person that will take care of your small furry family members. As a pet mother I understand first hand the worries that we suffer about our little babies when going away for a night or two. I will take care of your family member as my own. There is always something funny to do with them like playing tug, fetch, a bit of training, a quiet walk or just a cozy off time. I like to make pastries goods for dogs, my babies love them, and I love them watching me baking for them. The website doesn't have a classification for house visits, please be advise that under home stays that's what I will do, and that the price covers a 24 hours period in which I will visit your house 3 times, the latest at 9-9:30 pm. Why I love dog sitting I have dogs and cats all my life. My first dog was a mini poodle named Sheela, I was just 3 years old. My oldest dog passed away at 22 human years, my oldest cat at 23. As you see, I do take good care of my pets. For me they are family, my children. I don't have human children, I'm not that blessed unfortunately. My pets take the place of children and I spoil them rotten, to the point that I have a room for my mom's service dog with its own twin bed which Areto doesn't like to use unless I'm on top. Pet sitting is great because it gives me a lot of satisfaction and I get to know people and their pets. Meet my pets Areto is the family's service dog. She is trained to help my mom with her movement needs, she also alert us when a migraine or a seizure occurs. She is sweet and tender with humans. My other big baby is Lazarus. He is a lab/German Shepherd /Chow mix according to his vet. He rescued me and I rescued him. He showed up in my driveway a week after I moved to my new property. He was malnourished, with visible signs of abuse all over his skinny body, and even scared of his own shadow, artificial lights, and ceiling fans- literally. He approached me, it was a very scary moment because I thought it was going to attack me but what he did was to hug me, hug me! What a way to get a family! It broke my heart. My brother and the new neighbours were speechless. My new neighbours knew him from his street roaming and always thought of him as aggressive and abused but never did anything about it. It took me almost a year to teach him to be brave and confident and to be just a pretty and lively puppy. Still he doesn't trust strangers and sometimes barks and show aggressiveness behind my skirts. He is a pastry expert, and gets happy when he walks long distances, and always gives me hugs everyday. About my yard I do have a back yard that has vinyl white fences and it is divided in two sections. It has seasonal flowers, grass, fruit trees, and a paved area with a hammock and seating. My guest won't have access to the backyard because my own babies will be there. My guest will use my front yard which has grassy areas, a small pussy cherry tree, evergreens, roses, and lavender plants. It has a chained fence, and my guest will be under supervision during the guest's bathroom break.
