Pet care experience

I've had Moxie, my pibutll-terrier, for 6 months now, and have had other dogs throughout my life. I've cared for dogs on and off over the years, and enjoy the energy they bring! You can expect your dog to have a safe place to stay while you're away, and Moxie loves to play! I have the yard space for them to run around and just be dogs. If Moxie does not get along with your dog, which is very rare, she is crate trained and I will not have them interact. I want make sure your fur baby has a good place you can rely on, and he/she is at ease and feels comfortable during the separation! I am able to work with dogs with little, to no, training, female dogs in heat or unspayed is fine, I'll always have diapers on hand if they're needed. Administering medication in the way that suits your dog is something I can handle, and have experience with. I provide the bowls, toys, and crate for the dog to make things easier for you on drop-off. I always have dry kibble (Rachel Ray Nutrish), but if your dog requires special food, or you prefer I use yours, that's fine, too! You can expect your dog to be safe, to play, and to be happy in my home! Also, who doesn't love good angles for photos? I like to send pictures that are aesthetically pleasing of your dog posed, but also in live action while they're playing, or just relaxing!

Gavino made sure to always update me on my pup. He really made me feel at ease knowing my dog was safe with him. I would 100% recommend him to anyone!

Gavino took wonderful care of our old girl! He made sure to send daily updates & photos. She enjoyed her time and made a new friend Moxie. Thanks again for watching our girl!

I have my dog, Moxie, who makes a great play mate! If your dog especially loves tug-o-war, or wrestling, Moxie is the perfect match! If your dog is less rough with play time, that will not be an issue, as Moxie is crate-trained. I can handle dogs that are not crate trained, and can take the time when boarding to slowly work your dog into crate training. I've worked through various safe methods of crate training dogs before (treats, slowly easing them in, sitting/laying with your pet, and repeat). Dogs are allowed on my couch, but please let me know in advance of any habits they have such as... chewing, clawing furniture, etc. Let me know any special needs, as well, so that I can be aware of what needs to be paid most attention to.

Information Gavino S. would like to know about your pet

I need to know: 1. Feeding schedule (does he/she require special food?) 2. Medications (oral or inject? schedule?) 3. Any fears, triggers, absolute no-go's (i.e. is your dog scare of other dogs? do they scratch furniture? etc) 4. Any other special little things I need to be aware of so that I do not accidentally trigger you fur baby! ** I cannot accommodate for your fur baby if I am not told something special about them in advance, so please let me know the needs of your dog.

A typical day

My dog Moxie loves the dog park! I know of all the dog parks in Lawton, and have no issue if you have a preference.* If you do not request a dog park, or I cannot make it to one, I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of room for the dogs to run around, potty, play, and simply just do their thing! Everything from fetch to belly rubs to tug-o-war I'll handle it. Grooming if you book it**, and if your dog loves to run I have a waist leash to take them on a run with me. *I do not take dogs I am sitting to the dog park if you do not request it. **If you add on grooming you can expect a good wash, blow dry (unless it scares your dog then I will towel dry), brush, and nails trimmed.
