I love to take care of dogs!

Pet care experience

DOG ADVENTURE SITTING Dog Adventure Sitting is about providing a fun, stimulating environment for your dogs while you're away. We're located in Santa Clara, CA, near to the Central Park, just a few minutes from my house and other parks in this quiet place , with everything the city has to offer at our door step.nAlso my complex has its dog park My husband and Bobby (our pet) enjoy many adventures, and we would be happy to incorporate your dog into our lives. Home pet care is my full time job, your dog will not be left alone for an extended period of time. You have a lot of things to consider when looking for a dog sitter. At Dog Adventure, the comfort of my guests and you, my client, is my top concern. I have built my business around making sure you and your pets have the best experience possible. I only take three dogs at a time to ensure every animal in my care is getting plenty of love and attention, and I will only take dogs from multiple households if I can determine their compatibility ahead of time. I have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs. Like any pet parent, I love pictures of my dogs, and I want to take pictures of yours, too. I send frequent updates while you are away so you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that your pet is in good hands. ##WHY I LOVE DOG SITTING:### Honestly, I got my first dog when I was living in Peru ( South America). Now I'm sold. Dogs are great. I fell in love the moment I met Maggie, she was a Grandmother’s gift when I decided to move to other place into Lima. Peru. I wasn't expecting to take a dog home that day, but when she showed me, I knew she was mine. I had nearly 10 wonderful years together before I lost her to an aggressive cancer. When she was gone, I knew I had to have another dog in the house, so when I decided live with my husband in Little Rock, AR, US. We adopted Bobby from the Humane Society of Pulaski County in Little Rock, AR and we have taken care of him since he was a puppy with only 2 weeks of birth!! so we have a lot of experience and patient with dogs. I love working with dogs, especially rescues. You get back exactly what you put in. If you give them your love, trust and support, you will have a companion who will happily do anything for you. I understand that dogs are always learning and I'll use any available opportunity as a teaching moment. I firmly believe that the best training you can give your dog comes from having a solid, caring relationship with them and communicating with them as the intelligent family members they are. To this end, I do not use any aversive techniques with my own dogs or my guests. The dogs in my care are given a safe environment, respectful and humane treatment, clear boundaries, and are rewarded for making good choices.

Eliza did a great job taking care of our princess Gracie. She sent us lots of pictures while we were on vacation and it eased our mind to know Gracie was having a great time. Eliza even took the time to advise us that we might want to have our veterinarian check Gracie as she was drinking a lot of water. Thanks Eliza!

Toby had a great time with Eliza, as always, and we got multiple pictures per day to help us not miss him so much. We will definitely have Toby stay with her again the next time we leave town. Thanks Eliza!

Information Eliza R. would like to know about your pet

My overriding concern is giving all the animals in my care a fun, stress-free environment.For this reason I limit my available spaces to tree . I need to know about any special needs your dog has,from dietary restrictions to behavioral concerns.I am very accommodating and will do my best to make the transition from your house to mine as seamless as possible and would like your help in understanding how best to do that for your dog. *PLEASE include in your CARE INSTRUCTIONS AND/OR INQUIRY: _ Toy or treat restrictions. _ Food or environmental allergies. _ Any history of destructive behavior. _ Any history of reactivity ( such as barking/lunging on leash, guarding food or toys, or uncontrollable excitement) toward other animals or humans. _ Any history of separation anxiety (things that provoke fears and/or anxiety Cat/dog/child friendly?) _Are they crated or free to roam when I'm running to the grocery store? THANKS! I will do the best , I just like to be prepared.

A typical day

++++Given my commitment to your dog's well-being, I plan to spend all day caring for your pet. Because in-home pet care is my full time job, your dog will not be left alone for an extended period of time.+++++ My dog is pretty much my best friend. I love spending time with him, and whenever possible I make him a part of my activities. He is amazing. I usually like to take my dog to hug park close to my house and the others are: War Memorial Park, Little Rock Reservoir Park and Allison Park and are roughly a quarter mile from my home. I usually walk dogs there. My pet loves this daily routine and I feel it's a great way to drain some energy, practice leash walking, and integrate new doggie friends into the pack. Other activities are: We do whatever strikes us in the moment, whether that's take a long walk, head to a friend's house for play time. We can certainly accommodate a stricter schedule (especially for potty breaks and feedings), but dogs who go with the flow are the most likely to fit in well here. I am close to both Big Dam Bridge and Murray Park, with a variety of dog-friendly locations to visit and things to smell. I can provide a long training lead for their safety and your peace of mind. The terrain around here is mostly flat, and there are a plethora of quiet side streets as well as the more stimulating options, so we can make social butterflies as well as shyer types comfortable and happy. I can take your dog on short or long walks, or (for those comfortable with it). I also enjoy hiking, so if your dog is more outdoorsy, that may be an option. For the water lovers we can head out to Arkansas River near at Murray Park. Let us know what your dog will enjoy and we can plan adventures accordingly. #YOUR DOG'S SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS# Overnight crating is also available at the owner's request or if they are comfortable I clear out the living room in the middle of my place that has more than enough space for even the largest of dogs. It is adjacent to kitchen if they are thirsty overnight. Sometimes dogs who are used to sleeping in the bed or having their owners in sight find this stressful; if you aren't sure how your dog will react, I recommend trying it for a night or two before their stay. I can provide extra blankets/beds, though I encourage you to provide your own bedding from home to keep your dog comfortable. If your dog is used to sleeping without a kennel and is trustworthy overnight, they are welcome to sleep wherever they prefer. (Except the human bed. That is reserved for humans only.)
