A true dog lover. Owned 10 at once!

Pet care experience

I’m the person that goes out and makes friends with the dog. I’ve had dogs for most of my life. Caring for them is kind of second nature for me. My family also used to train dogs. I love playing with dogs and making sure they’re entertained and safe. I’m also skilled at watching more than one at a time. There was a point in time where I had 10 dogs at once, all various sizes and breeds (Poodles, pitbulls, German shepards, shih tzu, patterdales, jack russells) I’m honestly open to whatever you request. If you want me to feed your dog snacks and watch tv with them that’s fine. If you want us to go for a walk and play fetch that’s fine too. Whatever works for you!

5 stars! It’s a relief to know our dog is in great hands when we are gone. Highly recommend!

Over the years I have witnessed Goldyn be an amazing dog owner. She has owned multiple dogs ranging from all ages and sizes and has managed to not only make sure every dog is well taken care of, but has given them endless amounts of love! I wouldn’t trust anyone more with my own dog.

Goldyn has been around dogs since she was 10 years-old. She has a background in obedience training as she attended classes with her poodle-mix Majesty. She also participated in agility training as well. She and Majesty were a wonderful team in class. Goldyn and her family have had up to 10 dogs of their own in their home at one time. She is very tuned into what pets needs are and is sympathetic to those needs. She is empathetic to the concerns of pet owners because of the love and concern she possesses for her own pets. She has cared for pets inside her home for family members and friends who needed to be away from home. She helped introduce them to the dog team already in her home, and monitored the interactions to make sure everyone was okay. Goldyn has cared for sick dogs and helped with administering medications and such. Goldyn has washed dirty faces, trimmed toenails, given baths, and brushed and combed sticky bugs from furry chins and feet. She is a real animal person... I promise you will love her!

Information Goldyn W. would like to know about your pet

Are they afraid of loud noises or thunder storms? Do they like rain or mud? Are there any health concerns? Are they aggressive in general or when it comes to food? I do not have any breed preferences.

A typical day

Location of walks will be decided on a case by case. If the owner has any suggestions then that can easily be done, but if not, it will depend on the neighborhood . Also our fun activities will depend on the dog! I have a dog at home that truely doesn’t like to be bothered with high energy fun, and the others love to rough house. So what we do will depend on the pet and whatever the owner suggests!
