About: I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding. I can also provide day care services if needed. I do not have a crate but bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feeding as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet.
About: Dogs have always been in my life. I volunteered at Animal Lifeline for 8 years and had a dog daycare of my own for a while. Dogs are everything and I’d be honored to love on yours. I currently work full time but my day ends at 3 pm so I can be that late afternoon or evening potty break or walk. Weekends are definitely doable as well with pre-arranged time and notice. Should your dog(s) stay with me during the day, I have a fenced yard and no carpet in case of oopsies! My 2 dogs are older and laid back. If you request that I come to your house I am very reliable, responsible and respectful. I can guarantee a boat load of scritches and belly rubs as well as time for “business”.
