Availability
Pets boarded in my home will seldom be alone for more than a few hours, if at all. For pets I'm staying in their home with, up to 4 hours at a time is possible, but fewer than 2 is more likely for errands or dinner out. I don't anticipate being gone often or for long when sitting. My partner Kyle is rarely with me in sitting due to his schedule, but when boarding with us, dogs may have 4 hands for getting attention, pets, and walks. We live in North Austin. Social dogs I'm sitting are often invited to be my side kick at dinner parties, play dates, and other dog friendly establishments. In the summer months I prefer to go for walks indoors, so Home Depot becomes a regular stop to give dogs the exercise they need without the heat.

Safety, trust & environment
My care is very pet specific based on pet and parent's needs and wants. I enjoy going to dog friendly establishments but understand it's not appropriate for all dogs. Dogs are welcome to sleep in bed with or near me if they and their humans want. For dogs who have socialization issues, we may be able to arrange for them to meet a dog friendly dog if you'd like. I aim to make their time away from their humans as comfortable as possible.

Information Dell G. would like to know about your pet
I prefer longer stays when I board. How social your dogs are is important for me to know, since I will socialize the pets in my care to whatever extent I can. I'm not likely to be a good fit for pets who dislike socializing, but I'm a real treat for those who enjoy it, as I can keep them with me almost all the time.
A typical day
Very early morning walks are my favorite, weather depending. I am a caregiver to seniors. One in particular would very much like to be around dogs and welcomes them to come with me on my visits to her. For pups who like rides in the car and being fawned over, it's often a great time for it. I refinish, paint , and upholster furniture. Pups in my care are welcome to supervise me when there is no safety concern for them, and there usually isn't. The home is fenced with a large backyard. The neighborhood is great for walking, is well established with lots of trees for shade.

Pet care experience
Small dogs for long stays is my great preference. I believe dogs are the greatest companions on earth, and like to have dogs who I can take with me most places. My sitting experience began several years ago when I became a telecommuter, and travel became more possible. Being a pet parent would make that much harder, but Rover allows me to spend time with dogs while keeping a flexible schedule.
Reviews
Dell was fantastic! Clearly knew how to introduce herself to dogs, make them comfortable, and then have them live their best life while she cares for and plays with them. Highly recommend!
Dell was amazing! My dog is aging and had a lot of special needs and she made sure to adhere to his entire regiment. She was also very communicative his entire stay. I will make sure to book with Dell again in the future!
Dell was super attentive to my two aging pups and sent me detailed updates and photos on how they we doing. Will definitely book with her in the future!
Had another great experience with Dell! This was the second time we booked them to watch our pups. They take them on adventures and provide drop offs that make it really convenient. Already planning to book Dell again!
