Welcome :)

Pet care experience

Welcome to my profile!! I welcome all breeds and all sizes. I have a lot of experience in dog sitting as I have been around many dogs throughout my life from small ones to large ones- older ones to young ones, energetic ones and those who prefer to nap instead. I do live in a home with a large fenced yard, I also do work from home so I have lots of time to provide to the needs of any welcoming guest! I currently have one dog of my own, his name is Ollie, he is a shiba-inu mix. I rescued Ollie from a shelter since he was about a year old, he is very good and welcoming with all dogs. I like to stay active and keep my dog active as well, so I run in the morning with my dog and we go on long walks in the evening. I have no professional experience training dogs, but I did teach my own dog how to sit, lay, shake, play dead, spin, and other tricks. I understand that being away from your dog and leaving them in another home can be somewhat stressful for the both of you, but Ollie and myself make sure to ALWAYS make any dog feel right at home.

Brenda is so friendly and helpful. She took take of Milo so well sending me regular pictures and updates. Milo had an allergy and had to be on anti allergy medication. I am so happy that we found Brenda. Thanks Brenda.

I like to keep things as you would in your own home so I don’t throw them off any schedule they may already have. For example if you don’t allow something then I wouldn’t either but if you do then that’s totally okay here too.

I’d love to know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. I like to keep things as you would in your own home so I don’t throw them off any schedule they may already have.

A typical day

I like to keep my dog active therefore we play fetch, frisbee, and go on walks throughout the day as weather permits. Recently I started teaching my pup how to do activity courses to keep him active as well.

I work from home so I am flexible with scheduling, I’ve learned pups just want to be where the humans are so I find that they just like to lay next to me while I’m on my computer :)
