Hello! I would love to take care of your pet when needed! Currently your Dog must be crate trained and come with a crate or kennel. We crate at nights and mealtimes for the safety of all dogs and the possibility of things going wrong when we aren't watching or awake. I have a large 75lb GSD puppy named Taka. I also have a 42lb Siberian Husky that plays very well with dogs of all sizes, she's medium sized so great for small dogs, medium and large. I do not accept extra large dogs. I absolutely love all animals (furry or not) and my schedule allows me to be very flexible. I have had pets since a very young age and have had dogs, cats, rats, frogs, rabbits, fish, loaches, toads, crabs, hermit crabs, I currently have a small snake (his name is cookies and stays in a locked terrarium) and I have taken care of horses before as well. My husband is a teacher and home nearly all the time during the summer and holiday breaks so there's usually someone hanging out at the house engaging with all the animals. He's had dogs since he was little and is very playful with them. Whatever animal you may need caring for can be worked out, just let me know how I can help! Exceptions can always be made so just ask! I live on a quarter acre with a brand new fenced yard and 4 bedroom home with plenty of room for your pets! I just killed and removed a Saratoga palm so that the backyard is dog friendly. Your animals will get all the love and care they deserve with me to keep them company! Any Dog that stays with me for longer than 3 days (or if they get into major mud) will receive a complementary bath/grooming with hypoallergenic shampoo and conditioner and blow dried if needed. Please bring your own shampoo or conditioner if you would prefer I use yours or let me know if you would prefer they don't get bathed. The bath will take place near the end of the stay (2-36 hours before pick up) so they are fresh and it's one less thing for you to do when you get home. If the stay is very long or there is mud they may get bathed more than once depending on a variety of conditions and taking into consideration your pet's coat.
