My family raised 14 seeing-eye dogs, several of which were raised while I was growing up, and I’ve personally raised 2 puppies as an adult! I have a 4 year old golden retriever named Mango and have helped several friends raise service dogs for CCI. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love dogs of all sizes! I’ve also done a decent amount of pet sitting back home in New Jersey and have now also done a bunch of pet sitting in Philly as well. Additionally, I am comfortable with dogs with medical needs as well and have a medical foster dog. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs! I’m happy to meet beforehand. I have a small fenced in backyard and also take my dog on multiple walks daily. I can either take your dog on their own walks, or bring Mango along if they walk well together! I’m happy to take dogs to the dog park by request as well. Otherwise, she loves to play with other dogs but will also leave older dogs alone. She’s pretty good at reading other dogs. I’m able to be home however much is needed for your dog. I know every dog has different needs, so I’m happy to meet pretty much any request. If your dog needs to be crated at night I do ask that you ideally bring the crate since I only have my dog’s, but I’m also fine with dogs that prefer sleeping in a dog bed or even my bed at night! I’m also happy to let pets on my furniture/bed, but completely understand if your dog is trained not to go on furniture for any reason (my puppy was originally only allowed when invited, but that went out the window pretty quickly). For house sitting, I am available to stop by throughout the day and at night and would be open to staying at your home as well. Bonus points if my dog can come, but no problem if not for short stays! Please message me if you’re interested, and we can see if it would be a good fit!
