Pet care experience

Experienced dog sitter

I had a dog walking business in middle school and high school. I spent several years in Boise volunteering with Boise Bully Breed and fostered a rescue greyhound before that. I have my own dog, a Great Dane/Border Collie Mix and did formal group training with him through the humane society, so I'm very recently refreshed on training skills (leash skills, impulse control) and have experience handling large dogs on leash. Work office hrs Mon-Fri but my partner is currently home full time so someone is home most hours.

Cara is great with all kinds of dogs--big, little, and in between, as well as hyper and lazy, shy and outgoing. She is patient and caring and is definitely fluent in dog lingo. She's been looking after dogs and cats since she was nine years old.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very small fenced backyard. My dog is 4 years old and sociable with most dogs. He will play as much as your dog is willing but is also ok to chill. I can bring dogs on walks on the greenbelt or out to foothills if desired or to the park or dog park. We have an off leash area near the river that we frequently go to. Dogs are allowed on furniture.

Pets

A typical day

I like to bring dogs out on runs in the foothills or walks on the greenbelt (right near the house). I have many toys, including a flirt pole, which my dog loves, food puzzles and snuffle mats.

Let me know if your dog has any behavioral concerns, medication needs or allergies. Let me know what commands they know, what their favorite ways to play are and how much exercise they need.
