Paradise for dogs garden w grass

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Delphine, I'm French, I'm sorry my English isn't perfect. I live in Scottsdale North ( near Gainey Ranch ) in a house with my three little dogs Dina , Dallas and Dolce. The house is non-smoking and there are no children. The house has a living room with a large sofa for the dogs to sit on when we watch a movie, I have a large garden with real grass, the garden is very spacious and has enough room to run and play ball. My dogs are my children and I treat them like kings and queens and I would treat yours the same way. I grew up with dogs and prefer the company of dogs to that of humans. To avoid adopting all the dogs at the shelter, I thought a dog sitter would be a good alternative. I work from home, in a quiet environment. I sell gems and I'm a painter, so I'm home all day or so. I regularly put relaxing Zen music on YouTube, the dogs love it and fall asleep to it. When I need to work on my computer, I go to my bed so the dogs can sit around me. For the more anxious ones (like my little Dallas and my daughter Dina ), it gives them a presence and helps them relax.

Delphine is the best. We have known each other since childhood and animals have always been her priority. She loves all animals and has a great connection with dogs. The dogsitter option is perfect for her otherwise she would have adopted all the dogs around the world. When she was still living in France I always left her my French Bulldog my little Brutus and Fifille adored her in the end when we went out, everyone thought it was these dogs because they always went next to her. You can entrust your furry children to Delphine, she is a real Mama bear with all the animals on earth.

Delphine loves her dogs as if they were children and treats her pets better than some people treat their actual kids. They receive nothing but love and attention. I would trust her with my pets anytime knowing that they would be in great hands!

A day with us "the 4 Ds" ( Dina , Dolce , Dallas , Delphine ) When we wake up in the morning, we go out into the garden and have breakfast. After breakfast, we stay in the garden for a while. The garden has real grass, it's very big, you can play ball, the dogs have plenty of space to run around, there's an enclosure, impossible even for the smallest to escape. Then we watch Disney+ iu Youtube relaxing music for Dogs. The most tired children (dogs) can have a nap and the others can play in the living room. We organize a short walk of about 20-30 minutes early in the morning in summer (it's cooler) or during the day in winter (temperatures are better)... Every day is a party! The children (dogs) have access to every room in the house and can lie down on the sofa, and we have little stairs to get to the beds and sofa (for the little ones) ...... I open the garden gate regularly. If a dog is more anxious, I'll be there to comfort him. I cuddle them all day long and each one gets the same attention - they're all my favorites. At the end of the day, we play for an hour with balls, stuffed toys, rope, etc., and then get ready for bed. The kids (dogs) can continue playing in the living room and the more tired ones can go to bed to start sleeping. I sleep in bed with my dogs. Some dogs can join us or sleep in their own bed, in the living room, on the sofa or wherever they feel most comfortable. We watch a movie and cuddle until everyone falls asleep. In winter, when it's cold, I make sure everyone is warm with a blanket. I place water jugs in every corner of the house so that everyone has access to water and can stay hydrated. What's more, we have a "pee" corner with absorbent mats if a child needs to pee at night when everyone else is asleep... Everything is done to ensure that our little ones are treated like kings and queens. At home, they'll be in doggie heaven..... For Christmas, we organize a Christmas party for the dogs, with small gifts, treats and games, as you can see in the photos. Santa Claus thinks of all children .....

Information Delphine C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know: Does your dog have any medical needs? Does your dog play well with other dogs? Is your dog housebroken? Does your dog have a tendency to run away? Can your dog have violent reactions to other dogs or humans (biting, jumping on people, ....)? Does your dog like to sleep in bed with us? What is its character (fearful, crazy, playful, excited, calm, friendly)?

A typical day

Our dogs are our children and we treat them like Kings and Queens. We will treat yours in the same way. We regularly put on YouTube and choose relaxing music for dogs, so that everyone can relax. A day with us is: In the morning when we wake up, we go out to the garden and then have breakfast... We always add pieces of fresh sausage, or a little meat, carrots.... When breakfast is over we stay a little in the garden. Then we watch a movie on Disney+. The most tired children can take a nap and others can play in the living room (We have toy boxes filled with treasures for fun). Early in the morning in summer (it's cooler) or During the day in winter (the temperatures are better) we organize a walk of 30-45 min .... Every day it's a party... The summer we give ice cream to our loves, we make them ourselves with pumpkin puree or peanut butter or we buy them (Of course sugar-free dog ice cream). Children have access to all the rooms of the house and can go to the beds, the sofa we have small stairs to have access to the beds and sofa (for the little ones) ...... We open the garden door regularly and are attentive if a child needs to go out more regularly. If a child is more anxiety we will be more at these dues to comfort him/her.. We cuddle them all day and everyone has the right to the same attention, all are our favorites. The last little taste will be around 5pm. We do at the end of the day an hour of playing time with ball, plush, rope etc., then we will prepare for the bedtime. Children can continue to play in the living room and the most tired can go to bed to start sleeping. We sleep in bed with our dogs and have room for others. We watch a movie with and the calinons while they fall asleep, even when they sleep because we like it... In winter when it's cold we make sure that everyone is comfortable in the warm with a blanket and then we make sure that our children are not too hot. We have cans of water with Gallons in every corner of the house to be sure that everyone has access to water and can de-drated.

About my dogs Dina Dallas & Dolce: ---------------------------- All three were adopted from a shelter and abused (sadly), but now they are totally confident and trusting of humans again and living very happy lives : Dallas : ------ I adopted him with this name, I haven't changed it since I adopted him in Dallas TX ...I think he's cute, my little Chihuahua barks at everyone, his nickname is "Mr. Shame" because when I walk he barks at everyone ,squirms everywhere and I can see the eyes of passers-by staring at me, shocked or sympathetic, hahhahaha, so I'm sorry for the welcome home ,but I'm sure all Chihuahua parents understand me lol ..... After a while of adjusting, he calmed down and became the angel and love I adopted from the Dallas shelter again. Dolce : ------ Her original name was Dotes, but I changed it because she was a dog who had to be mistreated regularly, so I didn't want to scare her when I called her. For months, I couldn't get near her without her getting scared, crying and trying to bite me... She slept under the bed or hid all the time. After a lot of love and patience, she finally understood that I would never hurt her. That's when her personality came out. I named her Dolce (sweet in Italian) because she's so gentle and kind. At the dog park, she's independent, she does what she wants, she goes up to everyone for a cuddle and to say hello. She's a hunter at heart and loves chasing rabbits in the garden. She teaches everyone to bark at the same time lol ..... She's playful and independent. Caline and gentle. She's adorable .... Dina: ----- I was Foster to Dina ... She was hit by a car, she was a street dog, she was also abused, the first hours I could not get close to her but then it went ... The shelter where I volunteer wanted to take away her leg, because of the accident. She can still get around and run with .... So I decided to do something for her, after seeing specialists who told me that the emputation was not necessary, I wanted to offer her a splint to avoid being butchered. The shelter refused and told me that I was not allowed to see other specimens with their dogs. I know that in shelters they use dogs for veterinary apprentices and that Dina's emputation was more a test to cut off a leg than anything necessary. Dina was not planned in my life, either financially . But when you really love animals, you can't turn your head and accept that. I wanted her to finally have a good life, to be left with her leg and not have to go through another trauma. Today she's my daughter, with 3 legs and a half, and I love her more than anything. When Delphine watches your pet: --------------------------- In Delphine's Home: ---------------- -Dogs Allowed On Bed -Potty Breaks Every 0-2 Hours -Dogs Allowed On Furniture What Delphine would like to know about your pet: ---------------------------------------- -I would like to know if your dog has medical needs -If your dog plays well with other dogs -If your dog is housebroken
