Hello, My name is Alice and I am an animal lover! Thank you for considering me to care for your fur baby. I work from home so I can be available for regular care throughout the day and tend to be flexible for pick up/drop off times between 9am and 7 pm. In have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I get to know each dog personally, so I can provide appropriate exercise and care, offering accommodations when needed. What your dog will experience: Two feedings per day with their own food. I have worked with all levels of food interest from inhaled before the bowl hits the ground, to needs to be hand fed. I will be sure they are comfortable and able to eat. Outside time running in the fenced in yard with other dog friends (I board up to 6 dogs at a time). Usually this is chasing the ball or just a stroll around the yard depending on their energy level. I have mobility issues, so leash walks are not something I can do. I can only care for dogs who can get tired in my yard and don't need a lot of additional exercise. Though I do not have any breed or size restrictions, I can not care for young energetic jumpers that could knock me over. Treats both provided and from my supply, so please let me know if they have any allergies. I am able to send updates (kids love to see their pets while on vacation, adults too!) and will always bring any issues to your attention. This is your pet, so I respect that you will be the one to make decisions about their care if an issue should arise. To be sure everyone gets along I require a play date before booking. This is just a 20ish minute free session to be sure your dog is comfortable with me, my space and to give us a chance to meet. I ask that you provide their food, and a leash. A bed or blanket and treats are optional. Please no toys as personal toys can cause fights. I have a large basket of toys for them to choose from! I have completed the Duke University course Dog Emotion and Cognition. Thank you so much for considering me!
