Hello! We would love to care for your pets. I have been around dogs my entire life, and have been dog sitting for 15 years. I have a 4 year old son who adores dogs and a baby. My 4 year old loves handing out treats and tossing toys. We love soaking up puppy snuggles whenever we can! I am a home schooling single mom by choice and will be home the majority of the time. My kids come with me for dog walking and drop-in visits. We have a fully fenced back yard and are an outdoors family. We love spending time outside and hope your dog will join us! For house sitting, in addition to cats and dogs I also have experience caring for chickens, reptiles, fish, Guinea pigs and hamsters. I have experience caring for cows and horses although not on my own. I’m always open to learning! I can only accept dogs who have positive experience with kids and cats. We would be a perfect fit for a family dog who will miss their own kids. Around here, there is plenty of running, jumping and giggling to make them feel right at home. I have years of experience with all sorts of dogs. Small, large, young, old, healthy and active, or sick and injury-prone; I've handled them all. I especially love getting to know each dog’s personality and needs. Your dog friend can expect to: run in the backyard, go to the park, take walks, and cuddle. You can expect regular updates and pictures through text or Rover. We have a fully fenced backyard. I have baby gates to create separate space for a dog, if need be. I also have a crate that can hold up to a medium sized dog. I'm comfortable with your dog being left out of the crate if that's what they're used to at home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and the bed— my son loves when a dog wants to sleep in the bed. We look forward to hanging out with your pets soon! :)
