DOGS BEST FRIEND

I love dogs and working with dogs. I am an experienced dog sitter/ trainer. My mother has fostered dogs since I was born 30+ years ago. I have cared for just about every dog there is. I took canine science class in High school and learned how to properly care/groom/train/canine CPR. I'm also human CPR certified just in case you get heart broken leaving your pet. I have experience in caring for dogs with medical conditions (giving treatment etc.) Nothing makes me happier than making a new fury friend. I understand that most peoples animals are not pets but family. Extended About me: I'm a Cancer. I was born in Florida and moved to Texas in 2000 to go to an electrical trade school. I was a commercial electrician, these days im battling for disability. I like to tinker with inventions, teach myself new skills (im a bit of a collector of them. #ADHD.) Why I love dog sitting I've loved animals my whole life. Growing up I've had many best friends come and go. My mother was a dog sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

About my yard dogs will stay inside with us. there's is no backyard that they will get left in therefore zero possibility of an unnoticed escape. I use to have a fenced back yard with a ton of space but Due to my disability and a house stealing con artist, I lost that house and was forced to move to Missouri. I would like to get an awesome set up again someday but in the meantime all potty breaks are on a leash as much as they need. I'm right next door to the dog park with a hiking trail. Hanely park if you'd like to google it.

Byron is an absolute gem. He took phenomenal care of our newfie and goldendoodle. He was also extremely helpful with a number of unexpected “surprises” (not all dog related) that occurred while we were gone. Overall, Byron’s care, effort and communication was above and beyond our expectations. You’d be crazy not to book him.

Rocky, our Aussie, had a great time with Byron! My husband met Byron at a park first just to get to know him. Of course, Rocky immediately showed one of his "quirks" which is barking at dogs on the other side of a fence. My husband said Byron quickly knew how to diffuse the situation and taught him how to deal with it in the future. Hooray! We got daily pictures and Byron is amazingly responsive. I highly recommend him.

I love all dogs but if I had to choose favorites they would be: Shar-pei and French/English Bulldog I prefer dogs that are fixed, obedient and get along with other dogs just in case I have more than one client at a time. However, I have plenty of room to separate them and enough experience to handle them.
