Pet care experience
Your pets will be treated like royalty. I personally love when you - the owners - leave more information than needed that way I don't have to pester you while you are on vacation ("Spot needs to go on a 2 mile walk every other day" rather than "Walk Spot"). Although I do love almost every dog I have ever come in contact with, I do prefer meeting the dog/s at least once beforehand to ensure our personalities match (I see your pets as your children - you don't want to leave your babies with someone you don't think matches their personality). With that being said, I have never had a family nor myself turn down a job after the meet and greets (I think the pups know I love them upfront!), I do think it's a good formality though. If you'd prefer no meet and greets beforehand, that's okay too. Another reason I prefer meet and greets and so we can go through the pup's schedule - I am able to know where their food is, leash, toys, etc without having to go through all of your personal belongings while you are away. I enjoy taking dogs out throughout the summer or just relaxing with them, it's up to their overall fitness ability! I am not a certified trainer, but I do love giving treats for good pups, if allowed!!

Skills
Information Jennie B. would like to know about your pet
It's like a Dr. Suess book; small, large, round, thin, fluffy, silky - I love them all! I especially love dogs that like their ears to be pet! I love petting puppy ears!! I want to say I am pretty well rounded dog sitter - I have watched different "types" of dogs, if you may: I have watched a few pets (three) in one household at a time - if that's a concern. I have watched new born puppies! I have also watched older dogs (15 years +) I have watched a couple special needs dogs as well I have watched "aggressive breeds" (At least 3 pitbulls, if not more - not all at once, but throughout my time)
A typical day
Depending on where the home is determines where the dog's walk will be taken place. I am willing to drive your pup to dog parks, walk them up and down the street, play fetch in the backyard, etc. The fitness level of your dog is what determines how active we are - if you'd prefer your pup staying in so they don't risk over exerting themselves, we'll just roll a ball around and play or snuggle up and watch tv while learning a few new tricks. I cannot stress enough that their activities are solely based on what we deem okay - if you don't want you're dog doing it, they won't do it plain and simple. If you'd prefer them being incredibly active, please let me know, so I can adapt a fun plan for us. Usually all of this is discussed during the meet and greet.
