I'll be taking lots and lots of photos of the pups during my visits so their owners are informed on how they're doing. At the end of my jobs, I plan on giving the owners a well thought out thank you card and a toy or treat depending on what I feel their dog would most enjoy It's important to me to go at the dog's pace when first meeting. Some don't need much help to warm up to you but some are more timid, just like my dog Koa. I'm patient and always happy to provide treats if allowed by the pet owners. I prefer to have meet and greets at the owner's home so that I can have a small tour and understand everything better. I'm obsessed with Pitbulls and Staffordshire Terriers and think they are some of the absolute sweetest dogs! We aren't sure exactly what breeds Koa is a mix of but he definitely has some Pittie in him, which I love! I think all dogs deserve a chance and that we shouldn't judge them based on breed stereotypes. I do love all dogs but those are some of my favorite breeds that I would be ecstatic to watch. It's important for me to know if the dog has health conditions, takes medication, has any unusual behaviors, and how they interact with other dogs if I encounter one while walking the dog. I want to make sure we’re all safe and happy. I’m super organized and on top of my stuff (I’m a student after all), and very responsible, so all you have to do is tell me exactly what you need and I’ll make sure it gets done, all the while I’ll be basking in your pup’s love, cuddles, and kisses. I also believe in open communication––I know I’d want regular updates on my furball. Just tell me the best way to get in touch with you and I’ll be sure to send photos or videos! I’m happy to stay in touch.

If I were house-sitting your pup then I would be free almost all day on weekends to hang out with him or her (my boyfriend will take care of our dog but I may want to swing by to see them). I'd give your fur baby a short walk so she can use the bathroom in the morning and then I'll feed her breakfast. Once s/he's eaten, it depends on how she's feeling. If she has a lot of energy then we'll play with her toys and have fun and burn some excess energy but if she just wants some love and attention then I'll spend some time loving on her. Once she's mellowed out I'll hang out with her for the day making sure to give her short walks for bathroom breaks and anything she else she might need such as water. At night I'll feed her dinner at her normal time and hang out with her until I go to bed, but make sure she has everything she needs first. I love snuggling with pets and have no issues with them sleeping on the bed with me, but it is extremely important to me to respect your home and belongings and I would want to know the house rules first. And oh, I know it only sounds like I only want to take care of girl dogs, but I swear, I like boy dogs, too!
