------ For Sitting: It's my joy to give your pet lots of love, attention, and care consistent with your training regimen while you are away. I've been a dog lover since I was a small child. My first dog was a Miniature Schnauzer, Fritzie, he is the best dog that has ever lived. I've helped raise and train 3 Rottweilers, fostered a Dane/Pit/Lab with behavioral issues for over 6+ months, and seek to befriend every dog I meet. :) I also help train friends (and their dogs) when they have issues. We have a 'step-dog' son, Tucker, that is with my husband and I most of the time. He's an old, adorable, and mellow Shiba Inu. We also adopted two sweet little dogs (former Rover clients) in February of 2020: Audit and Baxter. ------ For Grooming: I have several years of experience grooming my own dogs, but began grooming professionally in the spring of 2021. I am comfortable grooming dogs of all sizes, hair-types, and ages. As a groomer, I believe that grooming is more than a bath and haircut. It is a critical aspect of your dog's life; a quality grooming experience has the potential to improve their socialization, emotional stability, and confidence. I take seriously the opportunity to monitor your dog's health for tooth decay, ear infections, inflammation or skin irritations, and fleas or ticks. Through grooming, I am able to build a special bond with your dog, but don't worry, you won't be too jealous because part of the job is expressing their anal glands. It's all worth it because they emerge happy, clean, and cute. Feel free to message me about pricing or any other questions. I encourage dog-sitting clients to add on grooming service while your dog is in our care. ------ I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and special/behavioral needs. I've administered insulin shots, oral medication, chemotherapy pills, and topical meds several times. Our yard is fully fenced and doggy safe. Your dog will rest comfortably indoors, but will receive plenty of attention and exercise.
