Experienced and Caring Dog Owner

Pet care experience

I have always loved dogs and I know I always will. I live in a four dog home that also includes other pets, such as fish and reptiles, and I have always been responsible for each and every one of them. My home is large and the backyard is easily accessible for the animals with two dog doors for them to enter/exit through. I feed the dogs twice a day (morning and night), but if your dog requires a different schedule I will always be able to accommodate that as well. There are three different water bowls throughout the house that dogs can get to with ease, and they are always full - with ice water on hot days, too. I have no restrictions on the size of dog that I give care to. However, the bigger pups I would prefer to meet with before watching them in my home. My dogs are, and always have been, friendly to other dogs in my home.

My dogs are always anxious, so boarding them has been an issue. They took to Blake right away, and they are always calm and happy when we return. It's nice to know they are being walked and played with when we are away!

I take a slow approach when it comes to new dogs, which generally leads to a more trusting setting with them. Dogs usually take a liking to me pretty quickly.

Information Blake D. would like to know about your pet

It's really just important for me to know their tendencies on a leash, particularly around other dogs. I've dealt with leash-aggression before and, while it isn't easy, I've found ways to remedy the problem so that a dog can act more calmly on a walk.

A typical day

This area is perfect for dog walking pretty much anywhere I could choose to go, but I do have some awesome walking trails in mind that I take my own dogs to as well as wide-open spaces for playing!
