Work-from-home, easy going house

Pet care experience

I'm a dog mom to two Boston Terriers that are interchangeably playful and big couch potatoes. They are our only kids, and are absolutely spoiled. I work from home full-time so I'm available for playtime, potty breaks, and walks between meetings and I've never met a dog I don't like! I have experience with moody or shy pups and can accommodate slow introductions with my own dogs. All potty breaks are supervised in our small dog run or on the leash walks (whichever you prefer). We live on a very quiet block but also have access to nearby neighborhood trails. I've gone through training programs (Sit Means Sit, and clicker training) with each of my boys so I'm happy to reinforce any training/commands you use at home. Experienced with potty training, puppies and more!

Information Alaina D. would like to know about your pet

Unfortunately one of my dogs is very fearful of big dogs, but can do ok with the right personality. If you have a very large dog that is also passive/submissive we can absolutely make it work. I prefer to meet the dog and judge on a case-by-case basis. Just like people, they are all completely different :)

A typical day

We love to walk and hike! Our dogs can be lazy some days, especially when it's cold or rainy so we're happy to accommodate the energy level of any dog (my husband likes to run in the mornings if your dog needs a bigger outlet for their energy). If your dog does well at dog parks, I'm happy to take them for some extra socialization.
