I have had dogs and cats in my home basically my entire life. When I was 18 a family friend of mine began hiring me to stay at their home when they went on trips and care for their 2 dogs and 3 cats. From then on I was called by many more family members and friends to care for their pets when they would go away. I have experience with dogs (all sizes and breeds), cats, fish, pigs, lizards, turtles, tortoises, squirrels, birds and guinea pigs. I personally am a dog mom of 4 fur babies as well as some reptiles. I have experience with pregnant dogs, menstrating dogs and caring for newborn puppies. I am experienced in administering a variety of medications, preparing special diets, crate training and loving all animals. I currently work part time as a children's behavioral therapist. I am on the road during the day and do have breaks between clients for stopping in to check on pets and take bathroom breaks. I am available on weekends for pets who need more attention for boarding but can board pets any day if they are crate trained. I also have early morning and evening availability for walking and feedings. Important to note: I do travel around most days with my 9 month old side kick. She is learning to love animals the way I do! Since my schedule is flexible please feel free to message me with arranging anything! I can always arrange my schedule to try and accommodate the availability you need! Just ask :) I own my home and have 1 bedroom in the home for dog use. I do allow pets to lay on the couches and beds to get the ultimate amount of love and cuddles. I do have access to a local dog park about 5 minutes away in a car, a fenced in backyard with a pool for those who like to swim (pool also has a fence around it) and a neighborhood safe for walking and running. My yard is treated every 3 months for fleas/ticks and other bugs. I do have 4 of my own dogs as mentioned before. 2 neutered males and 2 fixed females. All of my pets love each other and go on play dates with friends animals. I understand that not all pets are matches for each other which is why I have enough space for separation if need be. I do not typically have interactions between my pets and others just for precautions.
