Can’t wait to love on all the dogs!

Pet care experience

I got my first dog when I was 7 years old. He was a miniature dachshund named Harley who went on to live for 16 years. I currently have the sweetest chihuahua mix who is 12 years old and named Milo. I adopted him 9 years ago from the Noah Project. He is well-behaved and shows absolutely no aggression towards other dogs. He is very calm and sleeps A LOT! I have watched numerous dogs and cats for friends and family over the years. I have lots of experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. I have also fostered for local shelters. I would love to be a safe place for your dog(s). I so look forward to meeting you and them!

April is amazing! She sent plenty of updates and pictures, I was not worried one bit about my dog staying with her. I love that she had us do a meet and greet before the stay to make sure her pup and my dog were good together. Her dog is such a sweetie and our dogs became fast friends. I can't recommend April enough!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a partially fenced back yard. It is fenced in on 2 sides and I also have a large back yard for plenty of exercise. I live in a quiet residential neighborhood with very little traffic that is slow moving and would be great to walk around. I have an extremely well-behaved senior chihuahua mix that I adopted 9 years ago from The Noah Project to keep your pet company. He is a very quiet and calm dog who does well with other dogs. I have a clean home and is a non-smoking environment. When outside, your dog will be supervised at all times for safety , which is what I do for my own dog.

Information April S. would like to know about your pet

I would prefer to do a meet and greet with our dogs at my home prior to your dog’s stay in my home. Also, please let me know what medications your dog is on along with any special dietary instructions. In case of illness, I would also like to know an emergency contact and veterinarian information. Also, I would love to know your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and bathroom schedule.

A typical day

I have a great back yard that is large enough to play fetch in. My quiet residential neighborhood has slow moving traffic and is very safe for daily walks. I often take my dog to the dog beach as well or on the bike trails for walks and to run around.

I am a teacher, so during the summer I am home the majority of the day and night. During the school year, I have a flexible enough schedule to allow me to do a drop in during the day, which is what I already do for my dog. I do have experience with dogs with disabilities. I have experience with senior dogs, dogs with hind leg paralysis, and dogs with special diets. I have some experience with dogs that have diabetes. I’m able to do all these things with my current schedule and take excellent care with pets to make them happy and relaxed.
