Will spoil your dog like my own

Pet care experience

I have loved dogs and taken care of them since i was a child. I grew up with 3 dogs and a hamster and I currently have 2 fur babies with my wonderful husband and daughter; Reese Cup (sheltie/lab mix) is 10 and Rosie (yellow lab mix) is 5. The dogs are super sweet and love playing in our large fenced in back yard. We used to have a cat named Mugsy, but he went to the rainbow bridge last year after a battle with diabetes. My husband used to be a high school science teacher; now he does IT and loves animals almost as much as I do. The animals are our furry children and love our infant daughter, so they get lots of attention and so would your dog(s). I will check on your dogs several times a day if you want to keep them at your house or walk them midday if you work long hours. Will drive up to 10 miles from Garner. I completed a pet CPR/first aid workshop so I can help your dog if the need arises. Please click on my boarding page to read reviews from previous clients. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was 5 yrs old when I got my first dog. She was a little schnauzer poodle mix with little pink bows in her hair. She was so sweet and adventurous. I adore the unconditional love they give and how happy they are to see you. I genuinely love animals and want the absolute best for them. About my yard There's a big backyard full of grass that's a third of an acre. It's fenced in and our dogs love playing together or just chillaxin in it. There's a circular pathway around our flowers that the dogs race around & a double deck. My experience administering medication Yes; I've had to give my own dogs medicine before. They get heartworm & flea/tick prevention monthly.

You won't find anyone more caring or loving to take care of your pets. She always makes us feel that our pets are the best ones. She is great at sending us lots of pictures and gives our pets lots of attention while we are away. We completely trust her to keep them at her house or to come to ours while we are gone.

Information Dawn S. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference. Would like to know if there's any allergies or medical concerns. Also if they are good with other dogs/cats & people. Any special requests.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks There are 2 parks less than 5 minutes away; I take my dogs there all the time & they are very dog friendly. Both have trails & one is more shaded than the other. Lots of nature and squirrels! Dogs are also walked around the neighborhood if they don't enjoy car rides. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Either in the living room or upstairs bedroom. We also have a full basement; your choice. Our dogs stay in the room with us & the cat has his own room. Time I'll spend with your dog As much time as possible. I give a lot of my free time to my own pets, so i would give them equal time. I'm a quality time type person, so I think that's the most important thing you can give. It makes the animals happier and more relaxed. I will visit once or up to 3 times a day to check on your fur baby/babies ($20 per visit up to 2 dogs; $10 for each additional dog). I also am an avid walker, so if your dog needs some exercise during the day, I can assist! Reese cup has a tantrum if she doesn't get her walkie walkie in each day. Please contact me and we will discuss what your expectations are; I will do my best to accommodate you, so your dog/s will be comfortable and enjoy their time while you are away.
