Pet care experience

Downtown Dachshund Expert

Do you have a dachshund that you’re nervous to leave in someone else’s care because of how unique they are? I completely understand. I was the same way with mine. Dachshunds have their own little quirks, and their backs require some extra care. I know how important it is to have someone who understands how to properly pick them up and why you don’t want them constantly jumping off beds or couches. My home has stairs leading up to both, so they can get where they want to go without putting unnecessary stress on their backs. My husband and I also work from home full-time with flexible jobs, so your Velcro pup won’t be left alone. I’m able to give them lots of attention, hang out with them throughout the day, and take them outside as many times as they need. 5–6 times a day? No worries! I’ve watched multiple dachshunds for friends I’ve met through our local dachshund meetup, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know each of them and their little personalities. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dachshund with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I decided to offer my services on Rover because I know what it’s like to be new to town and not have someone you trust to watch your dog. If you’re looking for someone who already understands dachshunds and all their little quirks, I’d love to meet you and your pup!

A typical day

I wake up very early with my little dachshund under the covers. First things first: breakfast time! I feed my Beanie Merit dog food with Green Lipped Mussel supplement on top. She loves it! I will feel your dog whatever is written for me. I get up and do a quick yoga circuit to start my day. I then grab the dogs, harness them up, and go on a morning walk. Sometimes we’ll stop by a coffee shop for a treat ;) When I get back, I shower. More often than not the dogs lick my legs when I get out (why do all dachshunds do this?!). I then hop on my laptop to start my day. I’m usually on the couch, and there’s usually a dachshund on either side of me. I may or may not take multiple breaks to love on them when I am supposed to be working… For my dog, we have potty/walk breaks at 1:00 and 5:00- but we can change this up to align with what our guest dog is accustomed to. After work, we usually have a little playtime with the toys in the living room, whether it be fetch or tug-o-war. We go out for one final potty at 9:00 before bedtime at 10:00. We wake up the next morning and do it all over again!
