I pride myself on a super active and healthy lifestyle consisting of vigorous local hikes, runs and walks. Your dog(s) will be cuddled and cared for with the utmost attention and will also be in top-notch condition upon your return home. Hikes, runs and walks tailored to your pups' needs start at 60, 90 and 120 minute private bookings; the focus is 100% on your pup, their energy and care needs at all times. Why I love dog sitting: I've been a dog and animal lover since I was a very young child; I used to call all the animals in my neighborhood, dogs, cats, birds, even the nocturnal ones. I grew up with a cocker spaniel and later, a border collie as an adult. My husband and I were honored to adopt the sweetest senior Boxer Mastiff a few years ago, whom was the love of our lives, and when he progressed/passed onwards, naturally at 14.5 years of age we wanted to pay forward all of the sage advice and teachings he bestowed onto us. Recently we adopted a rescue Boxer Rottweiler puppy, who trained himself in one week! We look forward to a full life of learning from this sweet boy; they are teachers after all, if we're all open to listen. I care for all breeds, large and small, and am blessed with an innate ability to connect with all kinds of animals from all walks of life; rescues, bully-breeds, working/farm, show dogs, etc. My favorite thing about caring for animals is the peace of mind their parents feel while they're in my care. In your home: Your home, your rules. Let me know how you would like your home handled while you're out of town and I will care for it exactly as you detail. I am extremely conscientious about locking windows and doors, regardless of whether your dog(s) double(s) as home security, you can never be too safe. I will ensure your dog(s) and your home are in the same safe and clean condition you left them in upon your return home.
