Information Deneen R. would like to know about your pet

I would want to know about your dog's habits and or special needs. Do they sleep in the bedroom, will the dog be crated in your provided crate, they need to get along with cats? We can keep them separated when we’re both gone, with our cat on the 3rd floor. All dogs must be house trained.

A typical day

Daily walk in addition to time outside playing fetch. I work from home and have a bed under my desk for your doggie to hang out with and get pets and scritches. In good weather, Powderhorn Park is 3 blocks away. We also have an orthopedic bed that fits large dogs for them to sleep on comfortably.

Your dog's home away from home

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs, and for about 10 years, have provided in home dog sitting for a couple of friends who frequently travel, including senior care where I have provided oral medications, subcutaneous fluids, IM injections, post surgical care, and diapering for incontinence. In between dogs after recently losing our 15 yr old German Shepherd mix due to a neurological condition. I work from home, so can take good care of your fur baby.

Deneen took wonderful care of my dog for 5 days. He was pampered with many walks and snuggles. We received regular updates and communication before and throughout the visit. Deneen successfully administered medicine for an ear infection, which is easier said than done asy dog is incredibly particular and sensitive about his ears. We are very grateful for the care received!
