About Me I'm Casey, and my significant other Steve, and I love taking care of pets! I have always had family dogs (where my adoration of dachshunds stems from) and I have details about my own pets below. I have experience with dogs of all ages, and many demeanors. I enjoy walking, playing, and cuddling with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I don't mind cleaning up the occasional mess when necessary. I'm intuitive and pride myself on being able to easily read a dog's mood. Additionally, I previously worked with service dogs and so have experience with maintaining training and encouraging positive behaviors. What I Offer I'm very flexible, and willing to consider any suggestion you make. I provide boarding in my home, and Steve and I arrange our work schedules to make sure someone is home with the pups more often than not. If you have any questions, or wish to discuss a concern, please feel free to contact me! Happy puppies are my priority. About My Dogs Rascal is the demon child that I am raising with my partner. We picked her up at 8 weeks, and know both of her parents. She gets to visit them regularly.She is high energy and loves to play, so we go out on hikes and adventures often. She's still learning her manners, but has been doing great with her training! Scamp has the same goldendoodle dad, and a different mom as Rascal. She's very gentle and precious and loves to cuddle hard-core. Champ is our long term foster that we are taking care of for a friend. While her housing situation is unstable, we are caring for him indefinitely. He's got a fair bit of energy, but quickly chills into a couch potato. Doodle was the love of my life. I had her as my personal dog for about 4 years, and she passed at roughly 10 years old. She was originally at a shelter for more than a year, then rescued by a family who kept her until discovering their young son's severe allergy. I had her the rest of her life, and would still send her previous family pictures regularly. She acted like a 3 year old, and was intelligent and emotionally protective of her "pack", i.e. me and my partner. Duke, my family dog, is approximately 15 years old, and is a rescue that we have had for 11 years. Duke came to us as a very skittish, fearful animal, having had a not so pleasant puppyhood. I have worked with him extensively to relieve most of his fears and anxieties. He is now a much happier, confident dog. His sister, Penny, passed but as she got older she needed some extra help. I learned to read her cues to make sure she was always comfortable.
