First off, I would like to say that I am a pet parent just like you... so believe me when I say, I understand what it is like leaving your pet/child for a few days. Sometimes even weeks. I have my very own pup who is almost 2 years and old. His name is Rufio. I raised him from practically a new born. When I found him, the animal shelter told me he was left astrayed, abandoned from his litter at birth. He trusted no one and was scared beyond imagination. I wanted to change that and from there started our journey of love with Rufio. Rufus, now is the friendliest, most loving, heartfelt Pit Bull we have ever known. I believe the clean, peaceful, loving and attentive environment we've created in our home is the prime contributor to the intelligent and loving soul that is our dog, Rufio. We us to live in a house w/ a large spacious front & backyard for Ruffio & guest pups to play in but that has recently changed. They’re are of course numerous parks close to my locations. My home is also a "Smoke Free" household. Extra essentials(treats, toys, walking essentials & puppy beds) will be on hand. As well as grooming services with parents permission & knowledge. I personally do not believe in crating our dogs, but have no problem doing someo with another owners dog if requested. I always have all the pups sleeping in the same room with me. No matter how big the dog, I will always condone “Puppy Slumber Parties”! I take daily walks to one of the many local parks or just around the neighborhood. I’m a professional dog walker as well, with 300+ 5 star reviews on Wag & Yekobincluded... So you can be assured your dog will get out at least 3 times a day. Here, your pup is guaranteed to have a blast with games of chase, fetch, tug-a-war, "wrestle in the grass". As well as other fun activities too look forward to. You will never have to worry about your dog having fun or getting enough excercise when they stay with me! I would describe myself as patient, compassionate, loving, intuitive and attentive doggy sitter/guardian. I take pride in making sure each & everyone of our guest reunites with their furry family member in better shape and in a overall happier mood than when they first left their home. I've been babysitting and taking care of our dogs and others for years now, since I was a young teenager. Throughout this I have experienced dogs of all sizes & breads. Including some with extreme conditions like deafness, blindness, diabetes & older companions who always need more attention and care. I will do my absolute best to make sure your dog has everything he or she needs when they stay at our home. Welcome all! We hope you book with us on your next trip. :D Skills: Athletic, great cook, outdoorsy type, professional dog walker, dog lover for all of my life
