We are open to take care of your pets!!! Unfortunately my son is not my business partner anymore. He was promoted within his primary job, has moved out of the house, and now lives in Tempe. Good for him!!! While this is unfortunate it does not mean I will not be taking care of your sweet pup/s; it does mean that I will not be able to have as many dogs as I did when Esteban was living with me. This also means that I will not be home from 6am-3pm Monday through Friday, as I will be teaching. I will still be home and available Saturdays and Sundays. I will, also, have a friend of mine that, also loves dogs, he comes every day during the week, from 7:00 am until I get home. His name is Scott and he has a lovely rescued pup named Zipper who will be over as well. For my clients' dogs's parents: Please, if this is any inconvenience to you at all, feel free to reach out. If you are just not comfortable with the change then I completely understand if you feel you want to look for a new sitter. If this change is good for you then wonderful, I look forward to seeing the dog/s soon! I have been taking care of friends' dogs for more than 12 years. They leave their dogs with us for long period or just short period of time. We have dogs on our own, we take good care of them. We are very passionate about dogs. The routines are: wake up and open the door for them so they can go to the backyard to do their business. Then, they are ready for the first meal for the day (2 times a day: morning and night) if it's weekend we are going to walk for 40 or more minutes to the dogs' park or other places around here. During the week I work from 7:00 to 3:00, my friend Scott is at home from 7:00 am until I got home, at that time I am at home already so the dogs are not alone any time. We usually walked them after 4:00 pm, before the second meal that is usually at 6:30 p.m. (Summer time the time we go to the park is early morning) Every two hours we go outside to play in the backyard. After each walk, they got treats (organic). We talk all the time to them. We play with them outside with toys. And at the end of the day around 10:00 pm. they go to the backyard and then we are going to bed. While we are out of home, the dogs can go outside and inside the house, I have a dog's door. Usually one person is with them. The backyard is totally safe for them to be there, high block fence, and the gate is always close with lock. During weekends I am always at home with them and we do a lot of activities outside. Always we go to the dog's park in the car or walk to the close park.
