I love dogs and always worry when I have to go out of town. If my family can't watch my furry friends, I won't use a kennel. I want to feel comfortable leaving them with someone, and hope I can offer that to others. There’s just nothing better than getting to provide love and care to a pup that needs it the most! I am a registered nurse who values responsibility, integrity, and consistency in my work and personal life. I have had a lot of experience with people, and would like to expand my experiences with dogs, too! I’ve had experience with dogs that had special needs (puppy mill rescue dog), older dogs, younger dogs, puppies, you name it! I am not a foster parent at this time, but have applied to be one- just waiting on the call! I currently have three dogs--Raf, Douglas, and Henry--who are all very friendly, and two cats who usually stay hidden. Making sure that pups and owners alike are comfortable during a stay is my number one priority. For owners, I am very responsive to any and all communication and am happy to remain in touch by way of text and picture messages during the stay. For pups, I’m always happy to meet them at their level! I’ll care for them as if they were my own and always go the extra mile to make sure they’re comfortable. I will be home during the days I have indicated that I am available, and won't leave them for more than a few hours, which will be discussed with the owner if I have previous plans or obligations. I live in Webster Groves, and there are lots of people out and about with their furry friends at all times of the day. My home has enough toys, beds, and areas for play, but the backyard makes for a great time. The dogs have plenty of room to run around and explore, or lounge in the shade if they need to take a break.
