Upcoming vacation dates : June 27 - July 4 My husband and I bought a house in October, so I am finally able to do a long time desire of mine and be a dog sitter! I’ve been caring for family dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities over the years. My first dog of my own is my current little senior Chihuahua. She is a rescue doggie, who I adopted when she was already 3 years old in 2012; She is now 16 years old! Through caring for her into her senior years, I’ve learned a lot about patience, routines, and understanding individual dog needs. Now that I’m married, we also have a shared 1 year old Shiba, and we’ve raised other dogs in the past as well. Because of that, I’m familiar with training basics, potty training, and crate training. I also have experience safely managing unneutered dogs and keeping them separated when needed. Overall, I’m comfortable with both young, energetic pups and older dogs who need a gentler touch, and I treat every dog like part of the family.
