Dog friendly home with fenced yard!

Pet care experience

I'd be happy to care for your four-legged babies while you are out of town. The more active and playful they are the better! I have a very large, fenced in back yard that also has a kiddie pool in the summer which I spend a lot of time in during the warm months (the yard not the pool). I believe a tired dog is a happy dog and dogs who are here get a lot of exercise. I believe dogs are family and my house and lifestyle reflect this. Guest dogs sleep in my bedroom unless you request otherwise. Discount given for multiple dogs. Injectable, topical and medication in pill form can all be part of the deal. Willing to discuss talking care of exotic animals also. About this sitter: I have 2 four-legged babies and would be happy to keep yours as well when you're out of town. They are 3.5 years old and have the energy of puppies. I also have a large, fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool in the summer. We like going to the dog park and tend to go to the Coldstream one. I work at UK full-time and have had a variety of exotic animals over the years so we can discuss their care as well. Why I love dog sitting I grew up in a home that was the hub for a rescue organization so growing up I always around dogs, with varied backgrounds and medical needs. Out of college I rescued an old pointer/ pit bull mix with minor health issues. He was my best friend. Now I have 2 mixed dogs (one is definitely a lab/ pit bull) who are high energy and very playful. They love all other dogs. Meet my pets I have 2 dogs who are high energy and extremely well socialized. They dont know what the word stranger means- they will cuddle and play with your dog like it is their-long lost litter mate. About my yard I have a very large back yard (my lot is about .25 acres) that is fully fenced and has no gaps. From about May- October I have a kiddie pool out. My experience administering medication Yes. Injectable, topical and pill medications are all fine.

Andrea sent me multiple pictures and videos throughout everyday and it always made me feel at ease during my vacation!

Great to know that our dog Duke is happy to "vacation" with Andrea while we are off vacationing in places we aren't able to take him. Also, I appreciate her flexibility when we've had travel delays and had to rearrange pickup times.

Andrea is a wonderful pet sitter. She sat for my two Boston terriers for two weeks which is quite a long time when one of them is a handful!! This was the first time she sat with them, and I would not hesitate to ask her to sit with them again. She said she would be willing, so I hope my energetic boy Boston wasn't too much for her!

Information Andrea M. would like to know about your pet

I would want to know their energy level and any health issues. I have no breed preference as long as they are not aggressive and can be safely leashed.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live in a neighborhood that is very dog friendly and had sidewalks everywhere. Your dog's sleeping arrangement It depends in their needs. It would be best for them if they had a kennel they were used to, but if that isnt the norm for them they could sleep in my bedroom or one of the guest bedrooms if they prefer. Its pretty typical for my 2 dogs to sleep on the guest bed and for guest dogs to prefer my bedroom. Time I'll spend with your dog Depends on their needs and day of the week. They will be with me for at least several hours each day. Some of it may be spend on the couch or out in the yard.
