I am a college educated mother of 5, former nanny/childcare provider, formerly worked in Carmel Clay Schools and as a preschool teacher in Carmel. People have been entrusting their children to my care for years, so this speaks to my dependability and caring nature. I have been on Rover for over a year, but have watched several dogs both in my home and in the homes of others for many years. A lot of my clients have become repeat clients and friends. My husband and children also love dogs, so it’s a family affair! I have plenty of people to love on your animal when in my home. Having owned dogs my entire life, I have raised puppies, dealing with chewing and house training stages, and had senior animals who needed medical care and drug administration. I currently work away from the home part time, but have a few days when I am home all day throughout the week. Ask me about your needs on the weekend, as our schedule is more varied on weekends! I have a small home, but a large fenced in yard. I have one back room that is mostly reserved for the dogs (I.e. they have an old couch that is theirs to use). I also have a large 2 year old pup who loves other dogs of all sizes. He generally shows submissiveness and is looking for a playmate. My husband and children all help when dogs are in our home. If your dog likes cuddles and/or playtime, we would be a good fit! I let the dogs run in our yard when weather permits! I have several “regulars” and repeat clients who often keep my schedule busy, but encourage new clients to reach out for a meet and greet to determine if your dog and our family are a good fit for your needs. I try to communicate a lot to make sure you are comfortable having your fur baby here while you are away. I try not book or introduce dogs from other families to each other unless I have communicated an overlapping schedule ahead of time and only if I know the personalities of the animals will intermingle well. I do separate dogs during feeding times or times when the animal may need more space.
