Hosting 1 XL dog FAMILY at A time

Pet care experience

Think New Foundland, Bernese Mountain dog, Standard Poodles, Leonbergers, Great Danes, Great Pyrenees, Presa Canario, Cane Corso, etc. XL Breed puppies are also welcome. Hi! I adore dogs and am a former Pet Therapy facilitator at Florida Hospital Children's in Orlando (now living in St Pete). My eventual goal is to have my own certified PT dog for employee stress reduction vs patient care. While we (my husband) don't currently have our own dog, we are in the search for "the one". We really fancy the XL large breeds, but I would like to be able to "sample" what it would be like to live with one, hence this profile. I grew up with all kinds of animals- cats, dogs (shitz zu), birds, and horses. In recent years I have been dog/house sitting for friend's dogs that range in size from Medium-Large. I only host 1 dog family at a time, with 3 siblings being my absolute max. Your dog(s) would be with me the majority of the day as I work from a home office. As an active individual, they are always welcome to run with me, however, I realize some XL breeds are not suited to run/walk for extended periods of time. Each day can include 2 walks (1 long) or your current routine around my neighborhood plus indoor/outdoor playtime/cuddle time at home, though no pups on the furniture :) *Because I only take 1 dog family at a time I do not offer discounts. **Dogs will need to come from a home where they are not allowed on furniture as we abstain from that in our house. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Why I love dog sitting At least since elementary school, if not before. Meet my pets No pets About my yard Medium-large sized yard with about a 3.5ft high chain length fence My experience administering medication Yes, all forms

Amy was great with Tessie. Tessie is very hyper active and simply loves people. Amy was took Tessie on multiple runs during the week and kept us updated with Pictures and messages. Tessie was treated as if she was Amy's dog all along. With the special treatment I knew Tessie was not being held in a kennel for hours on end with no human interaction or love. I would recommend Amy in a heart beat. Tessie had a great week and my wife and I were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was in good hands. thank you Amy

Amy took such good care of our two German shepherds! This was our first time leaving our girls with someone that wasn't family. I spent months searching for the right babysitter for our girls. She sent us updates and pictures. She even spoiled them with long walks. I never even worried for a second about our girls. Amy is a very good honest person and truly loves dogs! I will definately be going back to her and I highly recommend her.

Mylo had a great stay with Amy! She was flexible and stayed in daily contact with updates and pictures. I definitely recommend her.

Amy was fabulous. It is hard to find someone that is capable and has the desire to watch large breed dogs. Stan at 7 months is 65 lbs and a bundle of energy. Amy took Stan on long walks and would send pictures of him hanging out at the lake. It is great to find someone that treats your pet like part of the family when you are away.
