Having loved and cared for dogs all my life, I believe they are very much a part of the family. I have years of experience in training my dogs as therapy dogs, and other activities such as tracking and basic obedience and tricks. I will do everything I can to make your dog feel comfortable and happy while you are away, keeping him/her on a regular routine to minimize stress and anxiety. There will be plenty of playtime or cuddle time, whatever your baby craves most! About this sitter: Trustworthy Christian woman will come to your home to care for your dog. Having loved and been owned by dogs my whole life, I understand the stress that traveling can cause to some families. If your dog doesn't travel well or is stressed out by being boarded, let him/her stay in the home and I will come there. We will keep the usual routine and have lots of play/cuddle time while you enjoy your vacation! Why I love dog sitting I have loved and been owned by dogs all my life. I do not have children, so my dogs have always been my family. Yes, they sleep in the bed with me. No, they don't wear clothes. I've had had a variety of breeds: Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Shetland Sheepdogs, and several mixes of those breeds and then some! Meet my pets 1 Golden Retriever (Ziggy) About my yard I live in a single family home neighborhood with a small yard, but a large field nearby. There is no fence so bathroom breaks will be on a leash. Playtime will generally be off leash unless the dog is prone to running away, and then playtime will be at a nearby park that has fenced-in areas. My experience administering medication Yes, I am first-aid and CPR trained for dogs and cats and am very comfortable giving medications.
