I’ve had dogs, birds, and cats my entire life. They have always been trained by myself, and my GoldenDoodle is a certified Canine Good Citizen and registered therapy dog. I have experience with administering medication, training, socializing, bathing, and also with seizures. It’s completely understandable for your baby to miss you while you are away; I will do everything I can to ensure they are comfortable, free of stress, and having fun! I’m sure that you will miss them too! I’m happy to send pictures, videos or even FaceTime, if you wish. I love dogs and cats both! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and assisted with re-homing rescues and fostered many breeds awaiting placement. Large breed and puppy friendly! — If you have special requests or needs, I will follow instruction to a T! It’s helpful to know the normal daily routine for you and your pets in order to keep their schedule as closely as possible! I’m currently working part-time and my hours are flexible. I’m willing to work around your schedule to meet your needs. The longest I would ever be away is four hours and my job is pet-friendly. Your baby may be able stay with me 24/7 if needed. I have a large backyard with 6’ fencing, extra doggy beds and an entire basement where they may safely relax and play. I live with one very friendly and loving GoldenDoodle, who is submissive and playful, and also a doggy-loving boyfriend who will supervise, play, walk and care for your baby as well as I do! The park is next door and the doggy park is less than ten miles away. Crating is optional; we allow Champ to follow us around the house and he is always a part of whatever we are doing. — We do not give food scraps or give in to begging and use positive reinforcement and re-direction to guide behavior.
