I have been dogsitting for family and friends for over ten years. I love spending time with dogs. I like cats too but I am allergic so I am not allowed to hang out with them. I find that a pet's unconditional love should be valued and loved in return. Let me fill in that gap while you are away or need someone to walk your loved furbaby. I have two American Eskimo spitz at home. We have fenced in yard for the furkids to play and run within the yard. They are used to other dogs spending time with them, I think it keeps them socialized. I rescued them about 12 years ago and I never looked back, so thankful to have them with me. I love being able to care for other dogs so that they are not cooped up in a cage all day. I am open to sharing my seat on the couch just not open to sharing my coffee or cookies. Oh I love to send random texts of your pets so you can see them daily. Make sure that you know that they are happy or sad, but they are well taken care of. I work from home during the week and available weekends. If known in advance, I can make arrangements to be there when you need to drop off/pick-up your furbaby. I will accept Night-time drop-offs and pickups for those that work the late shift. I have a large backyard so the kids can play. We have tennis balls and frisbees. The fence is six feet tall so big dogs cannot jump the fence. Inside, I have carpeted dog crates, dog beds, and blankets for dogs to snuggle in. I also I have some floor fans for those that like to lay in front of the fan. I do allow pets to be on the furniture.
