Availability

For drop-in visits or dog-walking: I am a teacher, so early mornings, afternoons/evenings, and weekends are my primary availability. During the weekdays, I can do drop-ins early before school, after school, walks after school, and of course, before bedtime (after my baby goes to bed around 7pm). On the weekends, I am much more available. We do go to church on Sunday mornings, but I can still go to early morning and afternoon/evening services. For holidays, I am a bit more available as we don’t have school.

Safety, trust & environment

While we are sleeping or away at work, puppies are put into either a kennel or a playpen to keep both our home and the puppies safe. While we are home and able to keep an eye on them, they have access to the house for playing, snuggling, or eating their meals. Water is always available, and we go outside frequently to exercise or relieve ourselves. We do have a line outside as an option for dogs to get attached to if they are a winter breed (i.e., husky) that desires to sit in the snow.

Home

Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog, 1 cat
Children 0-5 years old
Dogs allowed on bed

Information AylaJean S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if anything and everything! Anxieties? Specific instructions to help with introductions? Does your pet have a frequent hiding spot in the home? Do they need a special diet? Any medications? Etc. If your pet has a special toy, blanket, or bed, then PLEASE bring that to our home with them! I

We do have a line outside as an option for dogs to get attached to if they are a winter breed (i.e., husky) that desires to sit in the snow. We do live in the country, so we have 3.5 acres of yard, and some space to go on walks. Depending on the weather, we may take the entire family to a park to go on a trail walk.

Young Mom LOVES all animals!

Pet care experience

I have grown up my whole life with many different cats and dogs. So I have experience with all sizes of dogs and all moods of cats. My husband's family raises German shepherds, and I grew up with rescue cats and dogs of all breeds! We currently have a Golden Retriever dog and a House cat.

She did an amazing job watching our cat! She communicated well, was professional, and sent lots of pictures! She went above and beyond by cleaning up the bathroom/litter area when our cat got upset and made a mess. We were really nervous about leaving him alone for an extended period of time for the first time, but she did a great job and we were able to enjoy our vacation because of it!

I have had her board my dog twice. My dog loves it there and her communication is great. As long as she is available, she is my #1 choice for taking care of my dog.
