With over 20 years of dog care experience and the privilege of having a house with a newly built large pet-safe fenced in backyard, I can guarantee that your pet will be safe and well taken care of. Even though the dogs have access to the backyard, I would never leave a pet unattended back there. I only watch one dog per time so they can have my full attention. I have been dog boarding, walking, bathing, and sitting for years and love what I do. I am passionate about providing excellent care to all animals. I have experience with everything from large, hyperactive dog breeds to old, geriatric pets that need constant medication. If the owner wishes, I can take their dogs on long hikes or runs, however, safety is my top priority. My tall fenced in backyard is fortified even with an underground metal wire for preventing escape artist breeds. If the pet would rather sleep all day as opposed to exercise, I have several couches and pet beds. Unless requested by the owner, I would never kennel a pet. However, I do have a large kennel available if their pet is the shy den type. My beloved dog of 15 years passed away, and I now have a new dog, Leo, a 2-year-old Labradoodle who is very good around all dogs and would be a friendly, easygoing companion for your pet during their stay. I understand that even a short dog walk requires being prepared, including bringing a dog coat/rain jacket, water, a water bowl, doggy bags, and treats/medications as necessary. I also walk several clients’ dogs on a regular basis, so I am a trusted dog walker in the community, giving you peace of mind when entering your home while you’re away!
