Little Doggie Resort/Works fr home

Pet care experience

I do ask for a Meet & Greet. Please plan ahead if it is your first time to board here. I also ask that the dogs who come here are fully potty trained to go outside. I have a house with a fenced in yard and a doggie door - so the dogs are able to really enjoy the outside too. And I enjoy having visits from all the small dogs. I am also happy to stay in close contact with frequent Emails & photos so you can see and hear about your little one while you're away. I have had dogs all my life and can't imagine… life without them! I have been doing dog boarding for 14+ years now and love it! Please note: I work from home and so am here ALMOST 24/7. I do, of course, need to run personal errands and do go out to lunch with friends from time to time. Why I love dog sitting My family had dogs when I was growing up since I can remember. I have always loved dogs! They have the purest hearts on this earth! About my yard Both my front and back yards are fenced separately. The back yard is available by a doggy door. The front yard is when we all go out together. My experience administering medication I have administered oral medication and eye drops and am willing to do that. I generally do not charge extra for this if it is one or two simple things. However, I do reserve the right to charge extra in the case of a more intense medication regiment. I have never given a shot to anyone or any dog.

This is our first time using Barbara as a sitter, she took care of our girl for a week and it went excellent. Barbara send me updates every day making us feel at ease. She goes in depth during the interview and I loved it because she really wants to know about your pet before approving the stay. I will definitely use Barbara's services next time.

No breed preference, but I only watch small dogs. The dogs must be no more than 15lbs fully grown. I would want to know any information the owner can give me to help make the time in my home better for all.

A typical day

Your dog's sleeping arrangement I like to leave that up to the owners. I want to continue the care that the dog is accustomed to. If the dog sleeps in the bed at home, he is welcome to sleep with us as well. I also have clients who have their dogs crate trained and so I will have those dogs sleep in their crates. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home and so am here almost 24/7. I love to be in the yard with the dogs and/or cuddling in the house.
