I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve help with fostering many, many other animals, I'm learning training, phtotgraphy and grooming as well. I love working with cats and dogs and any other type of pet. My pets in the home also enjoy playing with any visiting animals if the visitor is comfortable with it. I'm lucky that my house is easily divided too in case a guest needs some time to warm up to the new smells. Since I go to school part time and do Rover or dog training with the rest of my time I can stick to whatever schedule a pet parent wants, as each of my personal animals have had their own needs and I understand how important that is. I’m experienced with everything from potty training to elderly care with dogs, I am very comfortable administering medication (oral or injected) as needed. I am also comfortable with any level of training a dog, and can provide practice sessions while with me if needed. I do my best to send at least one video and two pictures a day as long as all animals feel like giving me time to grab a camera to capture their cuteness! There are two people and several cats and dogs living here, who are always ready to love on new fur friends. My friends who visit often to meet new guest and play with the dogs all are dog lovers too so there is never a shortage of hands to give pets. My pets are very well trained and only play with animals that want to play with them. We do two walks, a play time, and one training or house hold rule review every day for everyone along with trips outside in the fenced yard every 2-4 hours. i have a couple extra kennels, bowls, beds, and toys available if needed/requested. Usually, animals can move about freely, I do put up gates to make larger rooms play areas as needed and pets can sleep in either my bed or my roommates bed if needed. My house is very dog proofed and everything in chewing range is dog friendly. I don’t have any other than a few zoom calls, errands, occasional meet and greets, and emails most days so I can spend a lot of time cuddling any and all the animals who want love almost on demand. I do have a fence around my yard but I still take all dogs out in a leash until I get to know them and how well they respond to me. I usually stick to one at a time on walks as well until guests are used to a group walk. I kennel dogs during meal time unless asked not to for the safety of the animals and the ease of clean up after puppies. When I walk dogs I make sure I have full control of them and can keep them from getting into anything while on the walk. I make sure to watch what they walk on and know how to work their leash and harness before we head out on the walk. When I’m house sitting I go outside with the dogs for as long as they are out there and generally follow the dogs around as much as possible. I do stay overnight in the house usually unless the owner requests differently. I also will upkeep mail, garbage, package pick up, and any other regular house management needed in your absence. I make sure that you come home to a house the way you left it (minus some snacks usually) and happy, healthy animals.
