Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

Hi- I am a lover of all breeds big and small! We have a five pound papillion that is the love of our lives! He has never met a living being that he doesn't like! I am interested in sitting for any like minded dogs to keep my papillion company. I can assure you your loved one will be loved and taken care of as if my own! This will be his home away from home! We have a child free, cat free, and smoke free home on 9 acres. It will be like a doggie vacation! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. I grew up around multiple varieties of pets to include large and small breed dogs, rabbits, and parakeets. I feel any pet should be treated as I expect to be treated! Actually better than I expect, I can fend for my self, they cannot. Meet my pets My pet is a 14 year old pavilion. he is very well behaved and loves everyone. About my yard I have a large yard that is 9 acres total. The land area is well maintained! Your loved ones will be taken out on leash for potty and exercise. My experience administering medication Our Papillion had a major medical scare during mid 2014 and had to be administered several different medications for about a months time! I would just want to make sure I had exact instructions on when and how to administer the medication from the parent! I have also kept other dogs who have had to be administered different prescriptions whether a temporary medication or permanent. Myles take a pill every other day for his condition.

Thanks for taking such good care of Doc, our geriatric Shih Tzu, and accommodating all his foibles. And Myles is a sweetie pie. I appreciated the photos and updates you sent during his stay. I felt very confident leaving our guy with you.

We were very happy with Rosie's stay with James. His home is extremely clean and he took very good care of her.

Information James W. would like to know about your pet

I prefer dogs that will get along with my 5lb Papillion if they are boarded in my home! My main points of interests would be does he/she have any special needs, is he/she potty trained, and are they respectable of the parent/keeper property. I do send lots o f pics but I prefer to send them directly to my clients cell number than through Rover! This allows my clients to more easily save these pics to their personal preferences.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Due to needing to stay near the home, your loved one will be taken around the neighborhood for his/her exercise. We live down a long dirt drive where your loved ones can be walked on leash. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your loved one will sleep as he/she would sleep in his own home! Our Papillion sleeps in the bed at night! He is crate trained when no one is home, but has 100% freedom when parents are home! This is something that we will discuss on meet/greet. Time I'll spend with your dog I currently am home most of the time during the day and always at night. I left my career of over 20 years in mid December to pursue interests that I enjoy and that give a sense of fulfillment!
