I worked for 4 years as an animal tech at a boarding/daycare kennel. This inspired me to get my own dog. She's a 30 lb Aussie and a total social butterfly. My availability changes each week depending on my work schedule, but I know a month ahead of time if I can be available for walks, day visits, and house sitting. I do boarding sparingly, but I am willing to board for current clients when necessary. I prefer to have experience working with your pets in their home environment before bringing them to mine, partly because new situations stress dogs out and partly because I like to know your pets temperament, likes, dislikes, and signals before introducing them to my own dog. I would love to have the chance to meet your family beforehand to discuss your expectations and meet your pets!
