Snuggles and Play Time!

Pet care experience

Sometimes, humans have "ruff" days. And that's okay. I take care of your fur babies so that you can relax and have fun the human way! Hi! I'm A.J., and I love dogs! I own a lovable rescue pup named Lou. I've also lived in a multiple-dog household since I was born, and I've grown up taking care of dogs from the moment they enter the world on into old age. I have years of experience dog-sitting in both my home as well as the homes of others. Playtime is an absolute must for this household, and payment for potty breaks is accepted in the form of tail wags and sloppy kisses. Currently, I live in a ranch-style house with a fenced backyard. My neighborhood is very quiet and nestled away from busy streets, so there are lots of opportunities for walks. If you decide to book with me, you can be sure that your pooch will get plenty of time outside as well as playtime with my dog, Lou, who absolutely adores other dogs. Rope toys! Balls! Chew toys! Frisbees! We have it all. Plus plenty of opportunities for hugs, kisses, and treats! I do ask that your pooch be friendly toward other dogs. I accept up to two dogs at a time, and would prefer that your baby have a crate that they are comfortable with sleeping in if they stay overnight. Lou is also crate-trained. No aggressive breeds will be allowed, but all ages are welcome! If you qualify and are interested, schedule a meet-and-greet with me today! I have a very accommodating schedule. If boarding isn't going to work for you, I love taking dogs out for walks, so we can arrange something like that, too! NOTE: All dogs must be up-to-date on their immunizations!

As usual, AJ took great care of my Theo. He always comes home exhausted because he gets so much play time! He’s always happy to see AJ, which tells me she’s loving on him when I can’t.

AJ is great to work with and goes above and beyond with my dog. She sent pictures while I was away, and was very thorough asking about any food allergies and feeding preferences. Theo got plenty of play time with her and her other boarders and came back healthy and happy.

I have a fenced-in backyard and we live in a very quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood. Your fur baby will have food and, if needed, medicine, on a regular basis as well as plenty of outdoors time and playtime with my dog, Lou. Should I be hired to walk your dogs on your property, I use the full allotted time for walks and make sure they have lots of food, water, toys, and comfy stuff available to them before I leave your house.

Information A.J. E. would like to know about your pet

I can only accept up to two dogs at a time and would prefer that they have a crate that they are comfortable with sleeping in if it is an overnight stay. Lou is also crate-trained. No aggressive breeds will be allowed, but all ages are welcome! If your dog has any allergies (including food allergies), sensitivities, or medications, please let me know! I would also love to set up a meet-n-greet with your pooch before our scheduled visit so that we can get a feel of the dog's personality as well as how well they interact with Lou. I will NOT accept a dog that I feel does not mesh well with me or Lou - this is for my safety, but also for your comfort. Just like people, dogs sometimes have different personalities that do not work well with each other. I don't want your fur baby to have a stressful vacation, after all!

A typical day

I'll take your dog on walks daily through the surrounding neighborhood (traffic-light) as long as weather permits, as well as get them plenty of exercise and playtime in the backyard. I literally have a "toy box" full of dog toys for your baby to choose from, plus we enjoy healthy snacks of fruits and veggies and meat. (Let me know if your dog has a food allergy!) My girl, Lou, absolutely adores dogs, so your fur baby will have a playmate guaranteed to leave them happy and tired!
