I have spent my life around dogs. My experience began at a young age in 4-H. I am now a leader of a local 4-H dog club where I teach kids how to train their dogs. My husband (Joe) and I own a home very near several parks where we often walk our dogs. Our dogs (Rory, Falcon and Julep) are dog friendly. Our house is very dog proofed because we live with a terrier and two basenji who are very nosy. I have raised or worked with many different breeds of dogs so I can quickly adjust the care based on their individual needs/personalities. Both of us will work together to provide the best care possible for any pet staying with us. We will treat your pet like it was our own. We both work a full time jobs. Currently, I work some of the week at home and some in an office. We never leave our dogs longer than 8 hours when we are in the office. At home, the dogs run free while I work (usually they spend the time sleeping). I have two floors in my house so if a dog does not get along with any of my dogs, I can safely separate them. Not everyone gets along and safety is very important to us. I split my time between the floors in the event the dogs don’t get along. When I leave the house I will crate your dog. It is much easier for them if you have that practice already established. This is done for the safety of all dogs in my house. I do require a meet and greet before booking with a new client. Please do not request last minute bookings as I will not be able to meet your dog on advance and I will decline your request.
