Pet care experience
I have trained and taken care of all sorts of animals since I was very young. I did 4H as a young girl and I showed rabbits, horses, and sheep. I have always had dogs and cats growing up and I know how to take care of them very well. I spoil my own pets and they get the best of my love and attention. That means giving them the proper care with diet, exercise, and bathing. For my senior project in high school I did dog grooming. I know proper nails care and grooming and bathing. I am willing to bathe and do nail care for any fur babies I would be caring for. I don't have the proper tools to do any grooming hair cuts. I did dog and cat fostering in southern Idaho for 5 years. I would take them in and give them care and training before finding them forever homes. I do have fur babies of my own. All are vaccinated and very well trained. They get along with other dogs of all sizes. We do have a fully fenced back yard and two puppy pools for the hot months. There's room to play and get in some short runs. I clean the poo piles every morning at 8 am. Our home is a two story house with a large bonus room upstairs. Like I said our pets are spoiled so you'll find bones and chew toys and pet hair on the furniture. Our dogs do lay on the couches and chairs and we all share our beds with them. I have 3 teenagers ages 17, 15, and 14 years old. They all know to love and respect all animals. We have a beautiful park not far from our home that we walk our dogs around. Our neighborhood is very nice and quiet and we all leash our dogs when going on walks. I am a artisan and I work strictly from my home. My fiance works from our home office most of the week as well. Our pets are with us 100% of the time. We fit them into every aspect of our lives. They even go shopping with us to home Depot and Restyle second hand store. We don't take them everywhere with us but when they stay home we aren't gone more than a few hours. I would NOT be leaving while I have others fur families here. I am very responsible and caring for all animals. Our pets all get by weekly nail care done by myself. They all get weekly baths unless they get into a mud wrestling match, then they get a much needed extra bath. They get their teeth brushed once a day even haha. They have free feeders for food and water. We have a bell on our back porch door that our dogs ring when they need to go potty. We let them out often and we play with them all the time. I will be offering bathing services, dog walking, and overnight boarding as well as doggy day care. We watch movies and TV with our dogs and we play and interact with them all day long. My dog has his own bed by my work table even and my fiances little dog has her own chair in his office with him. I would give your fur babies the same love and attention and care as our own.
Reviews
Danielle was super accommodating with a last-minute request and kept me up-to-date with how Charlotte was doing everyday ☺️
Thank you for taking care of Jeorgia!
We are so thankful for Dannielle and her family for taking such great care of our spoiled boxer! She is amazing!
Danielle treated Indy like her own. She kept us updated throughout and managed well through a couple of challenges. Her whole family is great and showed our girl a lot of love!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for the pets as if they are my own. They receive love, patience, and understanding. Safety is the most important of all. We don't answer our door until the dogs are safely contained away from the front door to prevent anyone escaping. We have gate systems in the back yard as well to keep the dogs away from the back yard gate entrance. I don't EVER leave the dogs unattended. I have groceries delivered to my home and if I need something that can't be delivered I send my fiance or a friend to get what we need. There is an emergency vet clinic less than a mile from our home in case of emergency. The dogs don't get left outside for more than 10 minutes during the hottest part of the day and during the winter months. Our dogs are very mellow and sweet and they welcome everyone. In the event that the dogs don't get along we have a baby gate system to separate the opposing dogs in separate areas of our home.

Information Dannielle R. would like to know about your pet
The kind of information I would be looking for about a person's dog ahead of time would be information such as if the dog is afraid of certain things. If they have any allergies to bugs, plants, or food. I would like to know if they have any special needs as in needing space from other dogs or needing quiet. I am able to accommodate most situations and I would like for both pet and owner to be completely comfortable. I would need to know things like if they heart treats to soft treats or if they're even allowed to have treats. Or if they are not allowed to access stuffed animals or if they're not allowed to have certain kinds of toys. I would need to know if the dog is a chewer or not as well. We are still willing to accommodate the dogs we just need to make sure that we have knowledge beforehand so that we can have plenty of chew bones or other chewing items on hand for the dog.
A typical day
On a typical day we play in the backyard. We throw balls, kongs, and rope toys for our dogs. Our dog Eko even plays tether ball. They all bounce on the trampoline too. When the weather is too bad we play inside with them and lounge and cuddle them. They are regular fed, cleaned, groomed, and loved. They aren't left alone for more than 4 hours and those trips are very rare for us. We enjoy being at home with our family.

Availability
Pet care is constant in our home. There's daily brushing and teeth brushing. Bathing is once a week and nail care is every other week. The water is cleaned and refilled 3 times a day and the dogs are let out as often as they choose. They ring a bell on the door to tell me when they want to go out. With boarders and doggy daycare I typically let them out every hour and a half to two hours.
