I've grown up with dogs in my house, progressed to dog-sitting for family and friends, and finally, when I moved into my own space, I started fostering dogs which I have continued to do for the past 2 years. Since fostering with One Tail at a Time (OTAT), I communicate with them via email and phone calls, coordinate drop-offs, and plan days around morning, afternoon, and evening walks plus med administration if needed. Play time is great with walking distance to the beach. Also, I do have 2 cats, they are super social and they love dogs, so they'll be ready for a friendly pooch during a boarding request. If dog is crate trained in a boarding request, I ask that the owner brings the necessary crate. Otherwise, as long as they aren't known for destructive behavior, the dogs can freely hang out in the apartment while I'm gone. I work part-time down the street from my home, days off include Mondays and Saturdays, but I'm available mornings and after 6pm. Also, my partner is a HUGE dog person and she'll be around to assist during each dog's stay. I look forward meeting all the new furry friends!
