Pet care experience

Dog lover with flexible schedule

I have been caring for dogs for myself, family and friends for more than 35 years. I am currently retired, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I have two dogs of my own - mini poodle and mini golden doodle - who are my babies. I will treat your pets just as I would my own, plenty of play, cuddles and belly rubs. I volunteer with a lost animal resource group, helping reunite pets and their families. I can also work with your dog on basic commands and administer oral and topical medications. I have a large fenced in yard for them to run in.

Francine was a lifesaver when I found myself without dog care plans a couple weeks before my trip. She was very accommodating for getting a meet and greet scheduled quickly and my dog also had a daycare day with her before his stay. Francine was thoughtful about his personality and provided excellent photos every day. We'll definitely be back!

Camden had a great time with Francine and has been napping all day due to all the fun he had running with the other dogs. When we dropped him off he never looked back, so excited when he arrived.

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to take your dog on a walk in the neighborhood, or I can let them out in the yard if it is fenced. I can feed and give medications if that is necessary. I am reliable and dependable and love being with animals. Whatever your pet needs, I will follow your instructions and provide the best possible care for them. If your dog is staying with me, they will be able to enjoy a fenced in .75 acre yard. They will need to meet my two dogs, so a meet and greet is needed to ensure they get along. FOR DAYCARE: **Pick Up & Drop Off Times** Drop off starts at 7am, pick up by 7pm (If you need special time accommodations please let me know and I will try to accommodate.

Pets

A typical day

I love to play with your dog! we will play with their favorite toy, if the yard is fenced, we will go outside for play time and fresh air, and there is always time for belly rubs. When at my home, your dog will enjoy supervised outdoor time, at least every two hours. Playing ball, exploring the yard, and working their minds! Inside, they will get plenty of belly rubs, treats as they are permitted. Dogs in my home are permitted on the furniture. They may be crated when necessary. FOR DAYCARE: **Pick Up & Drop Off Times** Drop off starts at 7am, pick up by 7pm (If you need special time accommodations please let me know and I will try to accommodate.

I would like to know what your dog enjoys, and their daily routine. Do they like to run and play or are they couch potatoes, just wanting some one on one time. Do they share or are they protective of their toys and food.
