I've been around animals pretty much my whole life. Growing up we always had dogs of all sizes running around our house and yard. We also had cats, chickens, pigs, horses, goats, rabbits, and so many more that rotated out. The responsibility to keep all these babies fed was on me and my siblings. On a daily basis we kept their watering dish clean, food in their bellies, and tidied their living spaces to maintain an appropriate environment for them to live a happy life. I believe in giving my whole heart to all living beings as we all deserve to be happy in this beautiful world. For the past 12 years of my adult life my husband and I have had 2 fur babies of our own. Our late French bulldog spent his life taking allergy meds and eating a special limited ingredient diet. He lived a long happy 12 years until his journey ended in seizures that eventually took his life. Our late Boston Terrier was considered the healthy pup until she became a senior. Around 11 years old her organs began to fail so she spent her final months taking medications while making multiple trips to the veterinarian until it was time for her to say good bye. I am most familiar with administering medications in the pill, liquid, or topical form, but have confidence I can quickly learn how to properly dispense any meds necessary to keep your baby happy and healthy while in my care. Our pups thrived in the structured, yet fun loving environment we created for them. With consistent guidance they were both fully house trained and knew basic commands. They would even give out a quick high-five if asked to. I would love to help your little buddy become the best they can be by extending the comprehension of basic commands to them as well. Most importantly, you should know that I will watch over your loved one with the best care I can possibly give. Your baby will be treated as if they were my own and no less. I am currently unemployed and hoping to spend my days keeping your buddy happy while you conquer your busy schedule. My husband works out of town for 3 weeks and spends 3 weeks at home with me. There may be times he tags along to help with your fur baby, but for the most part I will be working alone. There may also be times my husband and I decide to hit the road and travel our beautiful country while he is home from work, but that is not often. My schedule will be updated accordingly if we decide to take any road trips. At this time I spend my days walking my neighbor's 2 energetic pups multiple times a day while she works. I also enjoy spending a couple days a week volunteering at a local rescue. My goal is to create a consistent schedule with trusting clientele that allows me to become their pet's buddy when they are not able to be there. My open schedule allows for the flexibility that suits your schedule. Please don't hesitate to contact me to see if I'm a good fit for looking after your little buddy, even if you think I'm too far away. I travel to surrounding cities often, frequently visiting Cottonwood, Sedona, and Prescott as well as many others. My husband and I currently live in a pet free RV. While our home may be small we live in a private owned park that has a fully fenced off leash dog area for your pup to get plenty of exercise. There are also nearby neighborhoods to safely walk your pup that have shade during certain times of the day. We also have a van to comfortably transport your buddy to fun hiking trails to give them a new environment to sniff and enjoy.
