Highlights
Pet care experience
I'm your pup's favorite (sitter)!!
I'm definitely the person hanging out with the dog at any event :) I've always had animals around in my life, whether it's a hamster or my grandmother's chickens or one of the family dogs. I hold a lot of importance in how a person treats animals and what that says about them! When I rescued my then 5 month pup, Benny, I really spent time researching and training him myself - potty, crate, commands, etc. It's wild that it's been 6 years already, but he's a big part of our family. We've traveled, moved, and he's my "first born" :) He has since been joined by his human brother, who's also well aware about animal behavior. My husband is part of my team too as he works mainly from home and helps me with our furry visitors (and everyone can get their daily steps in!), so you're getting 2 sets eyes for the price of 1. My philosophy is that all the creatures need freedom and love, but with firm boundaries. We go outside to play and sniff as much as possible or appropriate. There is also down time when needed. If I need to gently but firmly discipline them to discourage bad behavior, I know how to do that. There's a lot of love and attention that your babies will get in my home and I can't wait to meet them!

Schedule
My schedule flexible as I stay home with my young child or freelance. We like to have a pretty regular routine, but have plenty of time to accommodate other pups and sometimes do outings, parks and the like!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I cater to each dog. I have the friendliest dog of my own to hang with yours so I'm well versed in dog care. We love walks and hikes and hangs, either at home or backyard or beach! If a crate is required that's not a problem. I like to casually supervise them while letting them play and run around if close supervision isn't necessary.
Pets
A typical day
We’ve traveled a bunch, but I we usually follow a routine - morning walk & breakfast. An afternoon nap for the dogs while we do our own thing. Lots of pets inbetween. Afternoon walk and maybe some training. Hangout or play, with toys and treats available. Dinner and a walk. Last potty break before bed. Sometimes there are dog parks or the beach or a car ride. But Benny and all our guests always have a good time!
