Hello Dog Lovers ❤️🐕 Caring for your furry companion is a RESPONSIBILITY and a PRIVILEGE I do not take lightly. I have been working with animals for over 20 years. I grew up taking care of all animals including rabbits, dogs, cats and even horses. I am happy to care for your pet as I would my own. I enjoy volunteering at the pet shelters and helping ensure animals receive the best care possible. Whether it’s nonstop frisbee, going on a long walk or sunbathing together by the pool they will have a Wooftastic time! Please feel free to ask any questions or request a meeting at your convenience. I am flexible in scheduling and available to care for your pet or pets whenever it is needed. I know just too well how hard it can be to find someone trustworthy and knowledgeable to care for our beloved companions. While I am able to care for many pets at a time, I choose to limit service to a smaller number to ensure each pet receives plenty of time and care. I also only accept one family of pets at a time to ensure loving home for their staycation. Your dog(s) must have received all their vaccinations. Animals open a door to my heart like nothing else does. I love to care for them which means providing exercise, meal time, cuddle time and play time always under a watchful eye with safety in mind. 🐕 Fluramie, my wife, and I are very grateful for the joy they bring us. I am a stay-at-home animal fur friend which means your dog will always have company. All my activities are at home so your furry companion will always be with me and/or with Fluramie. We call it a day early at Don’s den so if you are contacting me after 9pm I will reply to you the following morning. I am a caring and professional retired military member that enjoys working and caring for all types of animals. I started pet-sitting dogs many years ago and after retiring started being a full time pet-sitter over 10 years ago. I am always working on a project of some kind to beautify my living environment. My home is alcohol, drug and cigarette free. Fluramie and I live in a house where our guest dogs enjoy a den feeling that brings them a sense of comfort and security. We have a large back yard enclosed with a 7 foot block wall. It is shaded with large trees and a pool for them to jump in with us if they wish to. I NEVER leave dogs unattended outside. They are always with me. Whereever I go, my little pack goes :) And I love every minute of it! ❤️ Your pooch will not be fed any food that is not ok with you. I offer only Spring or distilled water. Exercise is a priority! I love going on walks so unless instructed otherwise, we go for a stroll early morning and early evening. I am well aware of possible wildlife or loose dogs encounters. I am extremely vigilant about our surroundings on walks so I can be prepared to take appropriate action. I received my certification with the Red Cross organization for dog CPR in 2010. I have experience with the administration of insulin shots and medications. I volunteer at the Rescue Center helping with meal preparation for about 50 dogs, kennel sanitizing, teeth brushing and walking those gorgeous dogs awaiting to be adopted. I am very much looking forward to meeting you and your companions. 🐕❤️🐾 I am 100% devoted to the care of my guest dogs. They are all precious to me. I must say, seniors hold a special place in my heart. Our routine is potty first thing in the morning, every 3 hours throughout the day and just before bedtime. I love to go for walks early morning and early evening so we can all get our daily exercise. When we go for longer walks, I bring water. We play fetch throughout the day and take nappy breaks. For senior dogs I always provide a quiet space for their longer naps. I serve breakfast, dinner and a midday snack. Each dog is provided privacy at meal time. In the evening we all cuddle together until bedtime. 🥰 I do not leave dogs outdoors by themselves nor do I crate them unless requested by owner for the night. Exercise is always a good way to help dog relieve stress, there is nothing like a walk to help a new boarder feel more comfortable. I have a lot of respect for dogs, I never impose myself to them, when they are ready and feel confident they come to me. Usually when they see me give love they come to me for a nice belly scratch and all is well. 😀❤️🐕 Hoping to meet you and your canine companion soon! 🐾🦮❤️
