I have a wealth of professional animal care experience, having worked in a dog grooming parlor and also a training facility for two years each. On top of this, I have also been frequently pet sitting for the past two years. I have cared for up to 8 dogs at a time and am able to handle larger, stronger dogs also. I previously used several different sitting services (care and sittercity) as well as having many clients through word of mouth in my own town. I have house/pet sat for weeks at a time, as well as boarded dogs in my home. I am new to 'Rover'. I do however, have many excellent reviews and references which are available upon request. I have uploaded photos of some of the many dogs Ive cared for in the past, some are frequent repeat clients. I have recently had one puppy stay for almost 3 months. If your dog stays with me, I will be home for roughly 80% of the day. I mostly work from home and so am almost always available to give the dogs attention, walks and supervise them in the backyard. We have quite a large unfenced yard, but a gated deck which is quite large for them to relax outside on. The dogs seem to love lounging outside on the cot beds out here! Our own dog, Teeka, loves when other dogs come to stay and is great with everyone. Your dogs are free to sleep in any room or in a crate if you prefer - we try to keep the dog used to their normal schedule/habits as much as possible to make their time away from you as smooth as possible. I regularly take the dogs that stay with me to the dog park, or for hikes, also. Whatever you, the owner, is comfortable with, Im happy to do. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We always encourage a meet and greet before hand, but we do regularly take last minute bookings also. :) Jesse (& Teeka)
