I am a very gentle and caring individual with dedication to pets and the pet industry. I have spent the last 18 years grooming and I am a full-time pet sitter. This is not a casual hobby for me, this is my full time career and very much an integral part of my life. I’m a dedicated pet parent of two seniors. I have lots of experience with medications and senior pet moments. I don’t have children and they are the closest thing I have to kids. They are truly family, not just animals. Anyone’s pet who stays with me will also be treated as family, nothing less. I am flexible to the owners house rules and feeding schedules. Your pet will leave having known the love my animals have known their entire lives. <3 I have a small fenced yard for potty breaks, so no risk of escaping while they are here. Trips to the dog park happen 1-2 times a week for a good long run or walk, depending on the dogs age and energy requirements. Usually we will stay for 1-2 hours, weather permitting. Pets are allowed on couches and beds. Feeding schedules and diet considerations are kept the same as they would be at home. I do prefer crate trained dogs, if possible. However, most of the dogs who stay with me have not been crate trained. If they are not crate trained they are left alone in the main living area of the house (If I have to leave for any amount of time.) Pets from different families are kept separate from each other when not being watched. Safety and comfort is always the top consideration. If they have potty issues or are chronic leg lifters, I do have doggie diapers and belly bands, so you do not need to provide them. Please provide pee pads if they are pad trained or not fully house trained. Due to high demand, please be advised that it might take me a day or two to respond to a boarding request, though I try to respond sooner. **Please note I am currently only taking dogs with an adult weight of 25lbs or less.** (I will make an exception for overweight or very muscular dogs.)
