I have grown up with many dogs my entire life. Therefore, I have a lot of experience with different breeds and sizes (e.g., Newfoundland, Great Dane, Miniature Schnauzer, Vizsla, Whippet, Italian Spinone, etc.). I have been a pet sitter for many dogs, including mixed breeds, Labradors, doodles, hounds, etc. I currently have two high-energy dogs - a Catahoula and Australian cattle dog mix, - so I am used to active puppies. I love watching dogs, and I use positive reinforcement when training. If you want, I can also do mini-training sessions for basic commands (working on sit, down, stay, etc.)! I have experience with ABA therapy, and I utilize many of the same techniques with dogs. I truly love every dog like they are my own, and I am excited to meet yours! I have a fenced-in yard that makes it very safe for the dogs. I also have 2 dogs who love playing with other dogs, so they will definitely be able to release a lot of energy! I am currently doing Rover full time, so I have a ton of time to play with the puppies! We really plan our schedule around our dogs, and we try to bring them as many places with us as we can if okay with you. They are never left alone for more than 4 hours, and that is only when I have to run errands (e.g., grocery shopping or doctor’s appointment). If you are booking a boarding visit, I would prefer your dog is crate trained/able to be put in a play pen. It is important for me to separate dogs during mealtimes/when they get too hyper. Thank you!! NOTE: If I am ever marked as unavailable for a desired day, reach out, and I might have some flexibility in my schedule. (: I always read the dog's body language to make sure they are comfortable. If I notice a dog getting stressed or overwhelmed, I will give them a break, so they can calm down and feel more comfortable. I never leave the dogs outside alone. I am also certified in dog first aid/CPR, so you can feel a peace of mind if anything were to happen.
