I am FIRST a dog lover. Second I like to call myself a dog specialist. Not only do I provide dog sitting services, but I have also been a dog trainer for 10 solid years, and provide grooming as well. Training and grooming are only optional if you request for them and we can discuss further! Your dog can enjoy lounging, playing and being carefree in a safe environment. I also make natural, safe and delicious dog treats for your pups stay! My homemade dog treats can also be ordered for your dog to take home with them per your order request. My schedule is completely free/flexible for your dog. Taking care of dogs is a passion of mine, so they will get tons of attention! I have a three level house with space for plenty of playtime. And a fenced in backyard. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover ever since I could walk and talk (cheesy, I know)! I started training neighborhood dogs at the age of 10, and even took in strays and tried to find homes for them. My first dog was a white german shepherd mixed with Tundra wolf named Bear. Bear was my best friend and the first dog to change my life by sparking the connection, understanding, and LOVE I have for dogs today. Throughout the years I continued dog training as a casual job and volunteered at countless shelters. I fostered dogs, trained, groomed, and found them loving homes. I have services and YEARS of experience caring for dogs, and know every breed and what they tend to instinctually like. I have been told, and believe I have a natural connection with them. I usually know what they're thinking, what they need, what they want, and how to communicate back in a sort of "dog language" if you have it. I think that's why dogs have always gravitated towards me, because I understand them. Meet my pets None of my own. I usually am dog sitting or giving services so there are pets in my home frequently. About my yard I have a decently spacious backyard, fully fenced in that will give plenty of exercise and fresh air. And a nice long walkway for strolling/running around the neighborhood. I take full advantage, I'm always out there with the dogs especially when the weather is nice! I like to take field trips to the dog park as well (only permitted by you the owner of course)! My experience administering medication Yes. I can administer shots, and anything taken by mouth or placed on the animal.
