I know first hand how hard it is to find someone to watch your fur baby, especially one with special needs!! I am very comfortable dealing with dogs who have special needs- eg., medicine, eating quirks etc... A little bit about our house... My husband and I are lucky to share our lives with Zada, who is a 6 year old Catahoula mix whom we rescued. So a meet and greet is a must to ensure no issues will arise. She is a very mellow dog so ideally other dogs who are just as laid back are the best fit. We normally go on two walks a day; one in the morning and one in the evening, averaging about 2.5 miles each. The rest of the day Zada lounges around the house napping where ever she sees fit. We do love to go to the dog park and there is one on post that we go to sometimes but our favorite park is the Steilacoom Dog Park. I know how important schedules are for dogs and will do my best to up hold any and all request, needs and schedules your dog may have. About this sitter: Dog owner and lover! If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them. ~Phil Pastoret Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. ~Roger Caras Why I love dog sitting All my life, we have always had dogs for as far back as I can remember. About my yard We do have a backyard, it is not fenced but we have a cable tie out that can be used. We only use it when Zada wants to sit out side in the sunshine, and I am sitting right there with her. She has a tendency to want to chase squirrels so after chasing her down after she sprinted after them on two different occasions we opted for that as a precaution measure. We will be putting up a privacy fence soon, but still would not let any dog be unsupervised for any reason. My experience administering medication Very much so!
