With over 15 years of pet experience, and have fostered over 150+ foster dogs in my home for local rescues over the last decade. My foster experience has helped me develop a knack for making pets feel at home. Safety is my top priority. I do have three labs of my own, who are absolutely spoiled rotten and love to play. I work from home, so animals who are boarded at my home can be let out throughout the day. For house sitting, I am available with the exception of 730-430 Monday thru Friday. I have a privacy fenced in yard, with additional crates as needed. I prefer to crate dogs at night or when running errands since unfamiliar environments can be stressing. I only use the crate as a positive non-punishment strategy. I’ve found over the years, pets in a short-term situation take comfort in having a space of their own. When gone I ensure that there are several barriers between pets so that they are safe.
