Pet care experience

Happy to help with your best frien!

My name is Bob, and I have been a dog owner for over 8 years, currently owning two energetic pups, Ellie and Watson! My wife works from home, so someone is almost always home, unless we all go ot in the evening! Our kids are 12 and over, and we all love spending time not only with our dogs(and cats!), but meeting new ones as well. Our rescue dogs, Ellie(18 month old female Australian Shepherd/Catahoula) and Watson(1 year old male Schnauzer/Terrier) enjoy spending time playing in the yard together when weather is nice, or horsing around together inside. They love socializing and playing at the dog park too, so having a 'play date' would be good fun for them! We have free access to water at all times, toys to play with, and healthy treats, if allowed by visiting pets' owners. Feedings for our dogs happen twice a day at 8 am and 5 pm; arrangements could be made regarding your pet's feeding needs, depending on time of day, and length of stay. Walks, playing, and lots of attention guaranteed! We can be flexible to meet your needs; please ask.

Lily had another great week with Bob. She got sick from a medication during one of his visits. He cleaned it up and let me know right away.

Bob was super communicative and very sensitive to my cats needs and their anxiety! I was so surprised to see that my Charly came out to greet him in one of the update photos as she doesn't usually interact with people she doesn't know. I highly recommend that any cat parent hire Bob as he is clearly a natural with them.

Lily had a great week with Bob. I could tell when I got home that she wasn’t stressed even after a long day mostly alone. Bob’s visits really helped relieve Lily’s stress, as well as my own!

I'd like to know of any safety concerns, such as snapping/biting, resource(food/water/toy) guarding, any preferences that the pet has, or things to steer away from. Basically, whatever you feel will benefit your dog most in their time here, and will make my ability to provide that optimal experience for them.
