Availability

Your pet would do perfect with me! I am a full-time online students and mama. This leaves me with open available and perfect for the pets who struggle with separation anxiety. Our days consist of some classes then walks when the weather is nice, zoomies in our large shaded backyard, car rides, and of course some much-needed nap time!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a house where dogs ARE allowed on the couch and bed, a big fenced yard, and a warm cement patio for basking in the sun. Plus various shaded areas, on hot days I do limit out time side to prevent over heating. I have various rooms in my house to section off if the fur-baby needs some "me time". I am trained in the unlikely event of a dog fight to safely separate the dogs.

Information Gloria J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any behavior such as; food aggression, possessiveness (toys, treats, areas), separation anxiety and any other triggers that might make your baby uncomfortable or scared (i.e. loud noises, large objects, etc.) Also, since I do have a larger yard it would be a perfect place for fleas and ticks to hide! we have had our yard treated twice with pet safe chemicals but we are very adamant about remaining flea and tick free please treat pets before sitting or daycare! *I do charge a cleaning fee $20+ if there is an accident that results in damaged furniture or property (such as, diarrhea/pee on rugs, couches , or beds). The price will be based on the severity, luckily I have all hard woods besides three rugs so if there is a minor accident no fee will be charged, it happens!

A typical day

I like to take my pups on adventures! I have a large field across the street from my house and a small dirt path down the street. If your baby is not very adventurous I have a nice patio for them bask on! I enjoy interactive games such as fetch and hide and go seek to keep their brains stimulated! I am also a huge advocate of down time, quiet nap time just hanging out in our sunny playroom!

Pet care experience

My family and I are trained as a foster parent through Pawmetto lifeline but I am currently taking a small break or else I will end up with 20 dogs! I have been around animals my whole life and feel that a home is not complete without them. I am very comfortable with adjusting my life to their routines and active training. I DO REQUIRE PROOF OF FLEA, TICK, & HEARTWORM MEDICATION *Note: I will accept exclusive boarding (just your dog) if booked far enough in advance for an additional rate.

Gloria has been amazing with my 3 fur babies! They absolutely love her and get super excited when she arrives. You can really tell that she loves caring for dogs and she goes above and beyond to provide the best care for the pups! We are very fortunate to have found Gloria!

Gloria was great with my dogs! They warmed up to her immediately. I’m very thankful for her taking the time to play with them and make sure all their needs are met. Will definitely plan to rebook in the future!
