I thoroughy love playing with dogs! Whether it be a game of fetch, a game of catch-n-keep (a favorite of the brown dog pictured), a nice walk, or times of ear scratching & belly rubbing, I will do my best to make your dog love me and our time together! My experience at this time has mainly been with several toy poodles, a medium sized adult poodle, a different medium size poodle puppy, a pug, a cocker-spaniel pug (a personal favorite breed), a standard poodle 16wk puppy, and a few labs (in conjunction with volunteering at a shelter for a short time). I recently also obtained my very own sweet little puppy, Tessa! She is a mixed breed Poodle and is 3/4 poodle (seems to be both Toy and Miniature in her ancestry), 1/8 Golden Retriever, and 1/8 Maltese. She is just about 3.5mos old at the time of this profile update (6/27/21), and full of pep and vigor!! She is just about 8lbs right now, and projected to get up to 15lbs. As of this time, I will not be open for services until we feel our little gal is ready and trained enough for a friend alongside her on walks and or play-times in the yard. If you have a dog who is 15-25lbs, but he/she is people-loving with a sweet & obedient disposition, I could also care for your dog! (I am not a large person, so a hyper large dog would more likely walk me instead of me him/her!) I am also a lover of cats, and have one sweet sassy indoor cat at this time (Elaine—a Torti). She does not care for other cats, so I cannot board any cats for this reason (but can do cat house-calls). I spent time in-house cat-sitting for a shy but sweet Siamese on two occasions of his owners traveling for extended times, have in the past owned and loved a darling orange tabby (my first cat), and have cat-house-called for a couple of other cats. Elaine also does not care for dogs, but shared her space valiantly with the above-referenced poodle-puppy for a 10-day span, without incident (aside from some soft-paw thwap-swatting of said pup’s nose and top-of-head, in reply to the pup barking in her face..... —which, please note, Elaine does have claws, but they are kept trimmed, and since the puppy had no marks nor gave any yelps or other signs of pain, it seems Elaine never actually used her claws on the puppy). Elaine does tolerate smaller dogs better, but will also swat them if they approach her too closely or quickly without her permission (again, with no sign of claw usage, so just a soft-paw thwap). I did create secrete passageways and hide-outs for Elaine when we dog-sat the Standard Poodle puppy, so she now has plenty of cat-sized get-away and hide-out options to keep her feeling low-stressed and safe when a dog comes to visit!😊 I do live in an apartment (with my husband and cat), but it is in the basement of a house, which has a great yard (though it is unfenced). As far as dog-number specifications listed on my profile, though I prefer to care for only 1 dog at a time (whether overnight, day-care, or house-call), I am flexible and could care for up to two dogs from the same family at the same time, as long as they typically get along well with each other, and both are under 25lbs and friendly with my little dog. Timing for house-calls or walks: I am more flexible than 11am-3pm; I could come during earlier or later time frames, on a case-by-case basis. Just let me know what you are looking for, and I will let you know if I can accommodate!
