Here to help
Hi! I am a poodle mom. I grew up with dogs and a constant menagerie of other lizards, hamsters, fish, etc. When I was a teach I had a rabbit and a Guinee pig in my classroom. I have watched mostly dogs an an occasional cat to help out friends and family while they were traveling. I have experience with medication, as my dog takes meds daily. My fur baby was a puppy mill rescue and checked every box for the concerns that would be expected, we spent a lot of time desensitizing to a leash, doorways, and living indoors and learning to be a dog in general. I am a Social Worker and licensed human therapist in my full time job. Many of those skills have cross applied in supporting a traumatized pup. He is now very well adjusted and sad that there aren't more dogs in the house so he would love to have a new friend come to stay for a few days.

Schedule
I am pretty active, we go for a morning and evening walk, or play in the backyard depending on the weather/level of sunlight. I work full time, so on an average day I am away from the house Monday - Thursday for 8.5 hours. However, I have the option of working from home, and as long as I know in advance I can plan to work from home and be more available if that is what is best for your fur baby. I would love to work stopping by to see your fur baby into my day when you need. I know what it's like to have plans and know that I won't be home enough for mine during a day. Rover has helped me out a lot when I had a busy day and needed someone to come buy and spend a little time with my pup and I would love to help out others in that situation, especially in the U. City area.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Pups are the kids at my house. There are lots of toys and soft beds in every room of the house. They must get along with my 12lb poodle. I have a large fenced in back yard that my little Houdini hasn't escaped yet. There is lots of space to run and chase a ball. We also play with a lot of enrichment toys such as puzzles. I am pretty flexible and would work to adjust to a schedule that your dog is used to. We will take lots of pictures. I know how stressful it is to be away. The peace of mind from knowing that your fur baby is safe, happy, and having their own vacation will allow you to relax on your own vacation. While I kind of lack of great pictures with pets in my profile, my camera is filled with pictures I take of them. In your home I would be happy to follow your routine so that there is the least amount of change to their daily routine.

A typical day
On a typical day we go for a walk or play with a ball in the morning. We have breakfast and then I go to work. When I work from home I have an office with a couch where my fur baby hangs out and watches me work (if he's not under the desk). After work we go for an evening walk, or when its' summer go for a later walk after it cools down. We play with puzzles and sniffy matts on a regular basis, but also especially use them when it's inclement weather and not safe to be outside for very long.
