Experienced and Loving Dog Sitting
Pet care experience
I'm a dog loving 35 year-old who has had dogs since a little girl. I offer dog sitting in our home and drop-in visits, and can pick-up and/or drop off your dog for a small additional fee. We have 2 friendly dogs of our own so we can only take one or two well-behaved, potty-trained guest dogs at a time. I am happy to dog sit puppies, older dogs and dogs with medications. I don't have any problems with sittings pups with behavioral issues in their own homes. Currently I actively train and/or compete with my Border Collies and a Lab/Akita mix in various dog venues from agility to sheep herding. I've also competed in obedience trials, trained search & rescue and tried a bunch of other fun dog activities in the past 20 years. I only use positive reinforcement training methods and believe all dogs should be treated with kind, loving and respectful manner. I have experience from various pets (cats, mice, gerbils, bunnies, horses, sheep, fish) to wildlife (I used to volunteer in animal care at Tucson Wildlife Center). I also volunteered at Pima Animal Care Center in dog walking and adoptions. I can give more references if needed. I'm excited to meet your dog(s) and give them the attention and love they need while you're away.
Reviews
Jatta watched our very active 4 year old Pit for the first time this week. She came to our home to visit him twice a day, and gave him lots of exercise, love and company in our absence. She also sent pictures each time she came over so we could see how he was doing! We will certainly be asking for her help again.
Jatta is an AMAZING dog sitter! She has frequently taken care of our 2 senior dogs and I have never had any concerns. We have a 13 pound Shih-Tzu and a 70 pound mixed breed that love spending time with her and suffer 0 separation anxiety while they are in her loving and capable care.
Jatta was great, the doggies loved her and so did I. I normally get anxiety when leaving my babies but I felt comfortable right away - she has a calm demeanor which really helped. She sent pictures daily and they seemed right at home, I could tell they enjoyed their stay and was afraid they would not want to come back home with me.
You'll never find a person more in tune with dogs. Not only does she care for her 3 dogs providing food, exercise and love but she also takes the time to train her border collies. They are very well mannered; one an expert in agility and one beginning to train as a herder dog with sheep.

I love all dogs, but I have a soft spot for herding breeds and their mixes like Border Collies (which I have 2), Aussies and the like :). They can be more challenging with their high energy levels and fixations but I've had them my whole life and love all their little quirks. I love doing long walks or runs and I have plenty of games for them to play indoors as well. They sleep so well after they've spent an hour searching for their treats from different hiding spots or spending time playing in the water in our kiddy pool or learning how to go around a cone on command.
A typical day
Dogs in our care would be free in the house and get plenty of time outdoors in the yard. I honor my clients specific needs and will tailor their pets stay the way best fits them. I offer playtime and several walks a day. Level of daily activities depend on your dogs needs. As a part of our family your dog will get lots of love, cuddles and attention. Our guest dogs can either sleep with us or sleep separately in a private area depending on their needs and owners preferences.
