Caregiving for your furbaby

I've had pets for a long time, most of my life, I'm close to sixty now. I have a lot of time to devote to your pets. I feel like my dog and cats are my children and I place that much importance to the pets I take care of.

I have found the perfect sitter and walker. He is kind and gentle and is in constant contact with texts and pics. The first night when my dog cried because he missed me, Dennis came out and slept on the sofa with him. Dennis takes the dogs on multiple walks a day and sends you how long and far they were walked. Now that I am back home, I can tell my dog misses him and the other dogs. 10 out of 5 stars for Dennis!

Safety, trust & environment

My house is very safe with a fenced in backyard. The fur babies will be constantly with me or a family member to monitor everything. There is also a veterinary clinic very close, within walking distance, but I don't think that would ever factor. More importantly, I feel I take the responsibility of caring for peoples pets very seriously. I spent a career in engineering and quality systems and I feel I am pretty safety conscious about everything.

Pets

A typical day

I don't work full time (I do some part time work) and control my schedule so I chose to hang out with my dog which is a medium sized beagle mixed (female). I have a dog door which she comes and goes as she pleases. The doggy door leads to a fenced backyard where she can play or do her thing. We have three nice parks close to the house so there are good choices to go when we walk in the morning. Inside the house I have a choice of dog beds, I don't have any rules about the sofa or bed, she can hop on either and take naps. At night there are sleeping options, I do have an empty spare room if a kennel needs to be setup (for quiet space). I am normally home, if I am out my sister is home so the dogs are not by themselves. My dog has a little separation anxiety so I always make sure someone in my family is around. But again, I'm usually the homebody.
