Professional Belly Scratcher

Pet care experience

My skillset and goal is to provide an environment where your pups can feel safe and happy to do what dogs do best. Im proud to be available to offer those services to pet owners who dont have the time or space to do just that. Ive seen how franchise pet hotels are understaffed and consist of cement walls that mimic a pound type atmosphere. I cant imagine how a fog must feel in a cement room by themselves. However with me you can expect your dog to be treated as one of my own. Your dog will never be left alone. I have 2 large yards (2500sqft.) for your dogs to roam free. I also have a variety of cages, crates, and fenced play pens for owners looking to keep a crate training regiment. Additionally I live within 7 minutes of 6 different dog parks and over a dozen different parks and trails for scenic walks.

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet owner I find it very easy to spoil any pet with a healthy environment as well as tons of love and belly rubs. However I understand that not all pet owners share the same relationship I do with my own pet. The care i plan provide for any dog I board is respect first, and affection second. I understand that when a pup is new to an individual and environment they need to be assured they are safe and respected. I plan to make that my top priority.

Information Chris L. would like to know about your pet

Oslo has no special needs. He is a playful, derpy black lab mix whos favorite activity is to patrol the front yard. oslo likes sun puddles and gets along with other dogs. his social skills are lacking in that he becomes bored very quickly. Oslo can usually spring for 5 minutes of dog wrestling and chasing but i think he gets bored quickly. Oslo is great on leash and obeys basic commands with the use of a stern voice and treat motivation. Hes never really to concerned with other dogs on walks and more concerned with the smells of the trail. I do not walk oslo in the neighborhood as i prefer to stick to large parks and trials.

A typical day

7am-8am : wake up potty time and breakfast 8am-10am: yard playtime/patrol 10am -11:30am: before noon walk(1st walk) 11:30am-12:30pm: for dogs who eat 3 meals per day this is usually lunch time 12:30pm-4pm : yard playtime/patrol 4pm-5pm: dinner time 5pm-6:30pm: evening walk (second walk) 6:30pm- 9pm: wind down time. This is usually the time where i restrict the dogs to the back yard/ back patio to start calming down and getting ready for bedtime. for dogs who still have energy they still have access to an open area just not as much room. 9pm-10pm: night time potty. this is usually when i have the dogs sleeping situation set up and allow them to go potty before the nights rest. then i bring them inside and let them relax untill they fall asleep. This schedule is mostly a guideline and can be flexible.
