*Currently in process of acquiring LA licenses* 🐾 Trusted Dog Fanatic 🦴 Friendly & Flexible Care 🐾 I offer day care & boarding from my home, my experience comes as a previous dog owner to two GSDs & caring for a variety of breeds for friends in need, and now actively offering services to all here which was prompted by my love for dogs and how much I miss having my own which I look forward to when the time is right, and in the meantime dog sitting is perfect to fill the gap! I can be relied upon to meet your dog’s individual needs and accommodate special requests, the more communication and details you can offer the better for me to cater for. I am always keen to be flexible with arrangements but must consider all dogs without compromise when balancing individual requirements. If your dog is not suited to an environment where they will be socialising with other compatible dogs and instead entirely needs their own separate space, then I cannot create thr healthy, happy environment. The dynamic between the dogs must be safe and balanced, sometimes this can look like a real disparity of differences in the dogs present and that’ll be because it works with the dogs in question, who may well have different boundaries but they are respected accordingly and can still allow for those that need their own space providing they get on with other dogs that get on with them and if your dog has not been adequately socialised or is an aggressive dog then please make enquiries with a sitter/boarder that takes one dog at a time. Dogs can of course all be aggressive, but that does not define them but as an owner you should be able to identify indications of any issues of potential concerns around aggression or possessive behaviour eg resource guarding and it is imperative you are forthcoming with this info so that we can work together as appropriate. Sometimes, there will be certain dogs that won’t get on or uncertainties around socialising in certain dynamics, with this in mind then availability may not be determined without investigating accordingly so that is down to you as a responsible owner to know your dog and their limitations. If you don’t know if they get on with other dogs then I can’t help you as I rely on your input to share knowledge as to their level of socialisation, highlighting any areas of concern that are relevant or significant. Most of the lovely dogs that comes to me are regulars who I know well and can gauge what the dynamic would look like with a new dog once I’ve met you with them, assuming you have provided accurate and adequate information vital to know before accepting a booking. I am focused on building bonds with all dogs in my care whether during a short stay or reoccurring visits in my lovely & spacious home environment with the benefit of ideal surroundings for your dog & I to enjoy together. I’m naturally driven to get to know your dog & build a meaningful connection, both safely & responsibly as per your requirements and dog's needs. I have owned two very different GSDs in the past, I have solid experience with my own puppies through to their senior years, extensive dog training as an owner, very used to larger breeds & those that are particularly active both physically and those that need lots of mental stimulation too. I am confident with managing challenging/demanding dogs, particularly those that are high energy and reactive that need consistent and considerable effort on a daily basis. I am well apt to cater for unruly dogs that require strict boundaries and a careful watch - I I am looking forward to having my own dog again once the time is right to commit, in the meantime dog sitting is perfect for me to fill the gap!
