Work from home animal loving family

Pet care experience

Growing up I raised and trained Guide Dogs for the Blind puppies, for over 10 years. Since then I’ve puppy sat and helped friends train their furry friends. My speciality is dogs but also a cat lover. We are an active family who enjoys walks and hikes and happy to bring your buddy along. I have dog bowls, treats, dog beds, and toys so no need to stress and one less thing to think about.

Bear had a great time and enjoyed his walks and play time while I was away

Erika has watched my dog, Konig, quite a few times while I traveled for work. To be honest, my dog is a bit difficult and his stubbornness does not work well with everyone. Her long running experience of working with dogs was really apparent the first time I brought Konig over. She was confident and knew how to work with him. I felt at ease knowing that Konig was in good hands!

Erika has fostered dogs before so has experience with taking care of them. She’s responsible and kind-hearted with animals in general. You can rest knowing your loved one is in good hands.

This is a well thought out decision that Erika is making. She helped me raise several guide dogs for Guide Dogs for the Blind. The only one that truly succeeded and made it as a full guide was the pup she raised on her own. She is an outstanding dog handler and trainer using positive reinforcement, routine and consistency. I know she will go into any adoption understanding that this is a commitment for the dogs entire life. Lucky will be the dog that gets chosen as her companion. The dog will be in a loving home, will get to go on family adventures (beach days, trail runs and camping trips).

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard, baby gates closing off the stairs (top and bottom) and kids rooms. I have tie downs in the car if your pup is up for an adventure. I have two small children, so your pup will need to have basic children social skills; although I’m more than happy to help coach/train depending on my availability.

Information Erikaceae T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special diets or requirements for your pup; also how they handle on a leash, if they prefer walks or runs, and their experience around children.

A typical day

Besides the typical walk around the neighborhood, we love to play outside, go for hikes, or practice our training! Sometimes we even get a special beach trip in! Bonus if you play fetch, as the kiddos never get tied of a good game.

Availability

I work full time from home with a flexible schedule. We live an active lifestyle and enjoy being outside. Between walks, hikes, adventures to the beach, we also love just chilling in our backyard and throwing a ball around. During the day your pup will enjoy a nice morning walk (or run) before settling into some office chill time or playing outside. Lots of play breaks throughout the day and we concluded with another walk before evening snuggles in front of the tv.
