Safety, trust & environment

My biggest priority here is safety so we do utilize slow introductions for the first 24-48 hours. This means pups are crate and rotated. After that if your dog(s) is good with other dogs it can hang out loose with our pack just like a member of the family. If your dog is uncomfortable around other dogs they can stay kenneled in my spare bedroom and I will rotate who is out loose in the house and in the yard. This does mean that your dog MUST be able to be kenneled. I also always feed in kennels to prevent resource guarding and everyone sleeps kenneled.

Information Emily B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about a dog's personality and special needs before they come into my home. I feel I am experienced enough to handle most dogs and any challenges they may present, but knowing about them before hand can help me better prepare for their care. At this time I do not watch scent hounds or huskies due to their proclivity for barking.

A typical day

Most of the outside time will be in my yard playing with toys and or my dogs. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: For safety all dogs are kenneled at night. This prevents any dog to dog issues or the possibility of your dog getting into something while I'm sleeping. Time I'll spend with your dog: I am currently working mostly from home so your dog will be with me 24 hours a day barring any errands I need to run to the grocery store etc. I usually wake up about 8:30 which is when the dogs go outside for the first time of the day, this is the shortest break usually lasting only 10-15 minutes. We then come in for breakfast. Around 10 we go back outside for about 30 minutes to an hour depending on the heat index. I usually try to encourage down time in the afternoon about 1-3pm when I offer puzzle toys or kongs and most dogs will settle down for a nap. The rest of the day is spent either playing, relaxing or both until dinner at about 6 and then bedtime at 10. If you have any questions about the day feel free to let me know!!

Pet care experience

I have been working with animals of all kinds for most of my life. I have experience in vet clinics, animal shelters, and pet stores. You can rest assured that when your dog is with me he will be treated like a member of my family! I have a fully fenced in yard and lots of toys for doggie playtime. I am a dog trainer and have lots of hands on experience teaching obedience and modifying behavioral issues. If you have any questions feel free to send me an email. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!! Meet my pets I currently have 3 dogs. Tuck is a 4 year old Jack Russel, Gia is a 3 year old Jack Russell and Ellie is the newest baby at the house and she’s 2 years old. About my yard Most of the pictures on here show my old yard in Florida which was a farm. I now live in the city and have a much smaller yard. It is fully fenced with a 6 foot privacy fence and it can only be opened from inside so it's very secure.

Emily was a good sitter for our full of energy 2 1/2 year old Labrador. My only complaint is that I had to reach out for updates on how he was doing.
