Hi my name is Desiree and I absolutely love dogs! I work from home and I know your dogs will be in good hands with me. I have owned dogs for over 30 years and I'm quite familiar with how to properly care for dogs. I will provide a loving and safe home for your fur babies while you're away! My parents have had dogs as well as my brother and sisters. Our whole family are dog lovers. I have a large, newly landscaped backyard with plenty of fresh grass for your dog to run and play in. I also live in a gated community and am able to take your dogs for a walk in a clean, safe and dog friendly environment. I love playing with dogs and giving them lots of exercise. It's great for their physical and mental health. I am home full-time and will make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I currently have no other pets or children of my own. My priority is making sure your dog is happy, comfortable and safe. Your dog will not be put in a crate, unless you specifically request it during sleep time. I believe in Rover.com because I've used this service myself in the past and have had great results. I've never liked the idea of leaving on vacation and having my dog waiting for me in a cold, lonely cage or kennel. You can rest assured that your dog will have a clean, comfy doggie bed to relax in and plenty of attention to keep them happy! I've also had previous experience administering oral medication to dogs as well as house sitting a blind, deaf and elderly dogs. I've watched friends and relatives dogs over the years because they know just how much I love dogs and they trust me completely. When your pet stays with us, the very first thing we do is take them outside to go potty when they wake up. Then, we will feed your dog according to your written instructions. After they've finished eating, they will go outside again for exercise and activity. If it is too hot outside, they will be brought indoors so that they're cool and comfortable. I will only feed your dog the food or treats that you provide. I do this because there may be something that your pet may be allergic to. So I feel it's best to feed them what you know is healthy for them. Most of the time your dog will stay indoors, unless he/she would rather relax outside in our yard. All dogs will sleep indoors. I will take very good care of your baby!
