Must Love Dogs

My son and I love dogs and I enjoy caring for our furry friends while trying to make ends meet. We hope to find some clients to build long term relationships with. We have been taking care of dogs for the last few years and have been grateful for repeat visits. We would love the opportunity to care for your pet when needed. We enjoy discovering their unique personalities and offering new experiences to them on occasion. We have watched both puppies and older adult dogs. We have raised a puppy to adult, and cared for new born puppies. We live in the River Heights/Logan area but could possibly do other locations as well. Please reach out to us if you think we would be a good fit for your family! I work Monday through Friday but only about 2 minutes away. I prefer to be at home with the dogs but after they visit a few times I may be able to have them visit during the week or get permission to work from home on occasion.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 09, 2024

Barbara was absolutely amazing!! My little guy has never stayed with anyone and he felt so invited and felt so comfortable right away. Barbara has such a sweet soul and sent me pictures and videos all day! It really put me at ease, and I felt so comfortable with her. (Also a plus - she has a beautiful Doberman that is adorable!)

Doggy Day Care • May 18, 2024

Barbara saved the day for us by accepting a last minute request to watch both of our dogs for the evening. She sent us pictures and videos of our dogs playing and happily running around her back yard. We all had the best experience and will definitely reach out to Barbara next time we need our girls to be in a safe and fun environment while we are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard, doggy door, and access in the home. I can crate my dog or your dog as needed. I am flexible and work to make sure the environment is safe and watch the dogs as they explore to identify possible issues as dogs aren't always predictable, just like many of their humans.

Pets

A typical day

A typical work day is more challenging to offer care on, but on weekends I'm normally close to home and working in the house and yard. I like to take adventures and have a few dog parks nearby which normally have very few other dogs so we can explore. I like small hikes and water experiences when the dog is interested.

Are they good with children, other animals and following instruction? How do they most like to be loved and treated? Ok in the car? How/where do they prefer to sleep? How is their recall? Are they escape artists? Do they like to hide? Any bad habits and what triggers them? Are their any special needs and bathroom behaviors. Can they use a doggy door? Do they enjoy short or long walks? Fast or slow? Do they play fetch? What is most important to you for their visit?
