Sue T. - I will care for your babies like my own!

I am a dog lover! I have three small dogs and they enjoy having others to play with! However, if your dog is infirm, they will not bother her. All my furniture and most of my floors are dog friendly.

I am willing to board all breeds, as long as your dog is very dog friendly and not a fence jumper as my fence is only four feet high. If your dog requires walking, is over 30 lbs or a very muscular breed, she must be very well leash trained. I am a walker and would love to have your large dog to walk with!

I will board your not quite house broken puppy but do prefer that they be allowed in a crate at night so I can keep them near me while I sleep. Bedrooms are carpeted and I do not allow dogs on the carpet.

I am willing to administer medications if very specific, written instructions are provided. I can also do minor wound care and dressing and go to follow-up vet visits if needed.

I am also willing to board your caged "critters" i.e. reptiles, birds, hamsters etc.

I am a dog lover and have three of my own. I will play with your dog and love on her every day, lap sitting is allowed! Will feed and walk according to your usual routine. Will give medications as well, if needed.

I have always loved dogs. We did not "officially" have dogs when I was growing up; my brother would bring home strays and our parents allowed us to feed and keep them in the yard. That was back in the days when dogs weren't leashed or fenced! Have had dogs for the last 15 years and they have been my very special friends, sustaining me and my family in many serious crises.

I would like a personality/health/special needs profile of your pet as well as written instructions as to her care, feeding, grooming and exercise needs.

Yes.

*Will travel 20 miles per day with no surcharge. After 20 miles, surcharge is .55 per mile.

Yes.

I am home most of the day except for occasional appointments or errands, usually gone no longer than three hours at a time.

I have a large, fenced, all rock backyard. There is ample shade and water. My fence is only four feet high so your dog must not be a jumper. I will normally be in the yard with your dog but do not want to risk a jump over as I may not be able to catch the dog.

All dogs sleep in my house. I will crate if you bring one. Otherwise, dogs are free to choose where they sleep, except for bedrooms. I do not allow dogs to sleep in my bed. Puppies will be allowed in the bedroom with me if crated. Adult crated dogs may sleep in the bedroom with me if required. If your dog is older or ill, we can discuss special arrangements.

I will walk smaller or infirm dogs on streets/sidewalks in my neighborhood. I live in a 55 plus community so there are not a lot of dogs running around for your dog to have to contend with. Larger, healthy dogs will be walked at the neighborhood nature trail, which is two miles round trip or 30 to 45 minutes. If your dog is able to handle more, I would prefer four miles, or 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
