Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I own a home on a quarter acre lot with a dog that has served multiple dogs very well over the last almost 15 years. The backyard is dog proofed and provides tons of space for physical activity. I am very conscious of foxtail prevention and ensuring a safe setting. It is incredibly important to me to make sure there is no potential risk of exposure to toxic plants or chemicals. Proper cleanliness and sanitization is a very high priority of mine.

Information destiny m. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any health conditions please disclose this to me. I can administer medications as needed. Please also let me know about the general temperament of your dog. age, breed, and any formal training experience. If there are certain activities that you know are comforting them I would love to know about those as well. I'd love to hear about how you got connected with your dog, any behavioral goals that you have so I can reinforce the right behaviors, and anything else you think is important or special about your dog! :)
A typical day
I will always reinforce good behavior and can work on any goals you may have. I have a variety of enrichment activities and toys for mental stimulation. I love to take advantage of the big backyard and promote burning off energy with fetch, water play, and just general engagement. Please let me know your dogs activity level needs. Provide the breed and I can give suggestions with this. I love doing puzzles with dogs and teaching some fun basic tricks and basic obedience commands. The neighborhood is great for walks I am very well versed and experienced in the Puppy Culture curriculum. I have many neurologically stimulating activities based on age. I do a lot of exposure activities to work on desensitization to things like fireworks before 4th of July, nail clippers and blow dryer for grooming.

Reviews
Destiny never watched our dog, we were ghosted. She didn’t answer the door when we knocked or answered my call. I would provide zero stars if I could.
Destiny was so amazing with our senior German Shepherd and very communicative with me as she house sat. A little disappointing that we came home to a mess in the kitchen, but other than that she seemed to work well with our dog and give her companionship while we were away.
This was the first time I’ve left my dog with anyone. He can be pretty aggressive with other people, so I was super nervous about having someone else watch him. Destiny did such a great job with him. Will definitely book again the next time I need a sitter!
Destiny was lovely! We needed a last-minute daycare (and I mean truly last-minute -- within hours of reaching out) and she was incredibly flexible and eager to fill the need. She reached out with updates at just the right frequency, sent amazing photos, and made sure to follow all of our guidance on Chancho's needs. She is very experienced when it comes to dogs with various needs, including our severe separation anxiety boy, and despite some truly traumatic experiences on Rover, I trusted her immediately. It was obvious Chancho was going to get the same level of care that we provide at home, and I couldn't have asked for more!!!
