Long time dog and cat foster parent

I’ve fostered over 300 cats and dogs since 2017 through Rescued Pets Movement and BARC in Houston, TX. I’ve worked in an upscale kennel/boarding facility in the past and can easily adhere to specific routines some pets may require. I currently live near the Medical Center in Houston, TX with my male fiancée. I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life- I love all animals but have much more experience with larger dogs vs. smaller breeds. I work 100% remotely and am home generally all the time on the weekdays unless I need to run out for an hour or two, during which my personal dogs are required to be crated by my landlord. Depending upon weekend plans, my personal dogs are crated for no more than 8 hours a day while we are out and are fine with this. I am happy to not make plans on a weekend I am watching your pets if they suffer from separation anxiety or similar condition. My two personal dogs are a 6 year old male black lab mix (Avery) and a 2 year old female Great Pyrenees rescue (Kona). They are both incredibly sweet and gentle with all animals and people they encounter. Kona is a bit shy with new people but is great around other dogs and LOVES cats. All of my animals, including my two female cats, are all spayed or neutered. We also have a “senior” kitty LadyBird who is around 7-8 years old and a 5 month old Russian Blue kitten named Romy. The cats are the well established bosses of the house but please do not book with me if you have a dog that is aggressive toward people, other dogs, or cats. I work 9-5, 100% remote from my home and can take as many breaks as needed for potty breaks and usually a trip or two per week to the local dog park after working hours. My animals are big couch potatoes and love to lounge around while I work and listen to music or watch tv. We always use slip lead leashes unless we are at the fenced in dog park. Because of my remote work, I am able to maintain a quiet, relaxed and peaceful home environment that would hopefully quell some animal anxiety being in a new place.

We have a great little dog park down the road from our place and my dogs love to play and wrestle with new friends or just be couch potatoes.
