🎉🎉 04/24/25 - Starting my 9th year of this DREAM JOB! So blessed to have a life full of adorable floofs! But in April 2025, it did change as I have moved to Powell, TN from Orlando, FL and changed from boarding in my home to dropping in for clients. Taking pictures, videos & sending them to clients will not change. ** I had SEVERAL older clients. Many on medication 1, 2 or 3 X/day. Some blind and/or deaf. Some insulin dependent diabetic. They were all repeat clients and felt very comfortable in my home. I got to know them and their own special needs as well as their signals letting me know what they want. ** I have had many unsocialized guests. Ones that had NEVER been around other people or dogs. Their parents were worried how they would do. They ALL did quite well becoming social. Most repeated. One was able to get a SISTER and both became frequent boarding guests. I am a married, 58 year old woman who has had at least one dog all of my adult life. For several years I had FIVE! (3 Chow Chows, my first Chihuahua and a Pomeranian) I also have had several cats. Most of them adopted me rather than the other way around. I am very experienced with giving oral & injected medications at specific times per day as well as ear & eye drops. I also have experience with dogs who have seizures, are blind/sight impaired and/or deaf/hearing impaired. From 2011 to June 2016 I worked from home. Since then I had been a housewife. We have carry bags and strollers so Faline had never been without Mom and/or Dad. I enjoyed being a housewife for several months but wanted to find a "job" that I love. After my husband, I couldn't think of anything I love more than my Faline. So early 2017 I became a FT, small dog sitter. That May, we really did bond with a guest as if she were our own. So much so that we let her parents know, IF there should ever come a time when they needed to find her a new home, PLEASE think of us. They had actually been wrestling with that VERY thought. A month later they asked if we would still add Buttercup to our family and we readily accepted. Now Faline has a sister once more. <3 While I do NOT have any breed restrictions, as I prefer not to judge all dogs by the actions of others, My husband (We met in 1980) works from home, full time, Monday-Friday. So he doesn’t mind if I need to be out during the day. Lol. PLEASE complete your pet(s) profile with their care instructions, veterinary’s information and Emergency Contact information. Knowing your sitter has this info can put your mind at ease while you’re away. PLEASE TEXT/MESSAGE ONLY. (No phone calls please unless it’s an emergency) I have my cell phone with me all the time so I can be reached or can respond quickly. I am available to visit your fur babies just about anytime between 8am & 8pm as I am a happy housewife. If I ever have plans come up I would mark the calendar that I am unavailable, ahead of time.
