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 several years, watching 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 as a realtor, so my schedule varies, but usually someone is home throughout most of the day. Our schedule is more varied on weekends with my children’s activity schedules! 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 4 year old dog. He has been raised with dogs in and out his entire life. 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.
