I love dogs! Call me to help!

Pet care experience

Hi! I love dogs, and I would love to walk or check in on yours for you! I have 2 dogs, a Dane-mastiff and a Dane-lab. I love them to pieces! My favorite days are the days I get to spend with my dogs. I love to take my dogs to the dog park and we all love to cuddle together. We have had the lab for 8 years and we have had the Dane-mastiff for almost 6 years. I am very protective of our dogs; I view them as part of the family and I will care for your dogs with great care and concern. I feed my dogs raw and turmeric golden paste twice a day, spinach once a day, and we take them to the vet regularly to make sure they are healthy and have up to date shots. I love dogs! About this sitter: I love dogs, and Id love to help take care if your dogs too. :) Why I love dog sitting: I grew up with dogs, and I have 2 big dogs now! I love them to pieces, and treat them like important members of the family! My experience administering medication: I am comforatable as long as the dog owner goes over the information with me. :)

My dog and I had such a wonderful experience with Ellen, Anthony, Toto, and Sassy! I was so thankful for a easy meet and greet where my dog got to meet Toto and Sassy and I got to meet Ellen and Anthony. I immediately felt comfortable about where my dog would be staying and who he would be staying with. Then, the night I was supposed to drop my dog off, my flight was canceled. This caused some delay for my drop off appointment and Ellen and Anthony were so accommodating and understanding. I really appreciated the daily updates on how my dog was doing while I was gone, and the photos that accompanied them. :) When I got back from my trip, it was around 10pm and Ellen and Anthony were happy to allow me to pick up my dog that late, because they knew I wanted to be reunited with my pup as soon as possible! When I picked him up he was so excited to see me, but so exhausted from a great vacation - I think his might have even been better than mine!

As always, Drake loves coming to visit Toto and Sassy! We moved back to Fort Collins, but travel to Colorado Springs just to have Ellen and Anthony watch him. They take such great care of him. Whenever we get close to their house, he starts to get excited. Thanks again for taking such great care of our pup!

The stay with Ellen was absolutely wonderful as always! Can't recommend her high enough. Drake loves staying there and playing with Toto and Sassy.
