I have over 30 years experience with small breed dogs. I so miss having my own dog for the time being, that I decided to babysit not because I need the money but because of my love for dogs. It's been a wonderful rewarding experience! Since I only take ONE dog per stay, they get all my attention, lot's of play time and love. I have a lovely home near the beach with a fenced in yard. Think of it as a "spa getaway" for your fur baby. I prefer them to be potty trained, but no worries I will work with them. We can have play time in the yard and I would be home with them during their stay. I can take them on walks around my neighborhood if you like. I live in a safe community near the beach. I adore animals and will take great care of your baby while you are gone! I can't wait to meet your special family member and see if we are a fit! I work remote from home Mon - Fri and have alot of flexibility. Plus I have most weekends available. I am fully 100% focused on the dogs I watch. I have toys, a dog bed," my bed" and lots of green grass to run around and play. I have a large backyard that is fully fenced in, lots of room to play and explore. For sleeping, I can crate your dog if you prefer, but I usually have them sleep with me and they have a wonderful front view window to look outside at the neighborhood while on my bed.
