NOTE: I have since moved to a two story apartment with a large private rooftop that extends from my living room that includes outdoor bathroom access. Most current photos on my profile are from my previous home and I’m starting things back up here in my home in pioneer square. Dogs have been my life since I was a kid. I started off working in dog daycares and boarding facilities where I learned pack management and all aspects of dog behavior and safety. Later I started working in the dog grooming industry which I still do today from time to time and enjoy very much. For the past 6 years (but not currently) I’ve been a foster parent for rescue dogs on death row. Dozens of dogs were adopted out of my previous home so needless to say I’ve done a lot of training with all type of dogs and different types of behaviors. Currently and over past 6 years have been working in a Veterinary clinic where I participate in the medical needs of cats and dogs as well as working in physical therapy with disabled dogs. Insuring dogs happiness and safety is my number one priority. I typically have 2-4 dogs in my home at a time so your pup will always have a fury friend to engage with. For safety reasons dogs are fed separately and when I do have to leave my home, all dogs are crated separately with plenty of soft bedding and access to fresh water. I do work 4 days a week at a vet clinic 2 miles from my home during the day. I urge that you are aware of this as often people are looking for someone who is home around the clock. My own dogs live with the same schedule as your dogs would and it has worked well for us for many years. However on a typical day I have dogs running in and out from the from the patio, wrestling and playing chase while others choose to nap on the couches or dog beds. I always promote dogs to play and get their energy out but also play my part in making sure no dog is pushing buttons. I welcome younger well behaved dogs but also love my seniors and can manage all sorts of energy levels and personalities. The main deal breaker for me as a sitter is I can not take on dogs who are overly vocal or struggle with abnormal levels of separation anxiety as I need to be mindful of my neighbors.
