All dogs deserve royal treatment!

Pet care experience

My family has always had dogs since before I was born. I owned a rescued cocker spaniel named Zuzu for over thirteen years who lived with me in Connecticut, Virginia, and finally Minnesota where he passed a few years ago. I'm currently unable to own any pets in my small apartment, but after watching the pets of family and friends, I decided I love it and want to do it more and more. I love dogs and I'm kind, caring, patient, and fun. I'll make sure they're as happy as can be, I'm active and will walk them multiple times per day, and I have experience with senior dogs who need extra care and medications. Basically, I'm an animal lover who will treat your dog like a guest at a 4 star hotel.

We hired Don to care for our older dogs with some continence issues. We were up front with both the issues and care required for them and Don seemed up to the task! For the first few days he was very communicative and even took our dog to the vet when he seemed sick! At some point during his stay it seems things took a turn and he grew either too overwhelmed or disinterested to continue cleaning up after them. He never communicated that he was either leaving or not able/willing to care for them. I arrived home to dog beds in puddles of urine, my children’s library books that were in a fabric bin on the floor will all need to be paid for as they were in a puddle of urine, a piles of urine soaked blankets and may have to replace our wood floors. My dogs are high maintenance and I was honest and up front with Don about their needs. I would have appreciated the same candor when Don was no longer able or willing to care for them as I may have been able to return home or find someone up to the task in time maintain my dogs’ comfort and save my house.
