Availability

I’m lucky enough to work from home, which allows me the time to spend with my own animals and provide walks and play sessions during the day. Given that my work schedule is flexible, I can usually accommodate any specific meal times, medication and walk schedules. My partner Jeren also helps with caring for our pets and guest pets when he is at home.

We have a fenced in backyard and a friendly dog name Rory to play with your furry friend. I usually have 1 - 3 dogs staying with me at any time. Our place would be good for your dog if they are social and like other dogs and plenty of love from the two humans who live here. It’s an opportunity to become part of a little pack, which most dogs usually love!

Information Ellen K. would like to know about your pet

Age, housetraining level, activity level needed during a typical day, comfort level with other dogs, if there is any specialized care, food or medication needed. How does the dog react to cats

A typical day

Backyard play during the day. I take frequent breaks to be with the dogs in the backyard. We usually take a walk along our river path in the late afternoon/evening. Nap times are on our comfy wool beds.

Pet care experience

I’ve loved taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have had many pets over the years from mice, cats, dogs and even a llama and a sheep! I believe that effective training includes lots positive reinforcement and love and I don’t use negative reinforcement or punishment with my pets.
