I've had many pets (dogs and cats) in my life and have showered love and attention on all of them. I live in a small ranch-style home in East Mesa with a large fenced in back yard where dogs love to sunbathe and frolic and chase the occasional errant chicken who hopped the wall from the next-door neighbor's. I work from home each day and I'm around most of the time to give my pup visitors a run in the yard or a walk around the neighborhood. I've used Rover myself in the past with other pets and so I know how important communication and building trust can be. I require a meet-and-greet before any new dog-sitting experience so we can get to know each other and establish a relationship. I know how important your furry friend is in your life and I honor that by treating them as well as I'd treat my own - like family. I'd be honored to be your dog's B&B! Dogs have comfortable places to relax while I'm working (dog beds, couch, bed, etc.), a rear fenced-in yard with grass, and pretty constant attention during the day. I am self-employed and work from home, so there is plenty of time to spend on the pups in my care. We take frequent breaks in the back yard, and if appropriate I will drive them to nearby Red Mountain Park for walks in the morning and evening. I have a rescue Pittie mix named Andie who is part of the dynamic of my home. Once she's met strange people or dogs and learned that they are okay, she's a total sweetheart. From what I know of her background and from what I've experienced, she is generally good with larger male dogs once they've been introduced. Other dogs it seems she can be with on a trial and error basis, but I wouldn't pair her with small dogs. She is high energy and like to chase and wrestle, so she may not be the best fit for all dogs. A meet-and-greet is essential to make sure she will get along with any client dog.
