Pet care experience

. I am a mature and responsible dog mom who will take very good care of your pup and home. My little dog and I can keep your doggy happy and well in your home or mine. I work predominantly from home off of my laptop and love lots of cuddles with our pups and your dog is welcome to sleep on the people bed with us too if they like. I have a long hallway, perfect for fetch and a small backyard for outdoor play. I will take wonderful care of your dog. I love to text photos to you of your pup enjoying themselves during their stay. I’m a non smoker and have cared for puppies through large older dogs. I have a loving two year old Morkiepoo who will also keep your pup company during their staycation. Why I love dog sitting I had a 15 yr old yorkie-poo who was a very sweet rescue, and prior to this pup I rescued another yorkie who had once been a breeding dog. Fur babies provide amazing love and companionship. I was raised with dachshunds in my childhood and I love being around dogs. My experience administering medication: I have administered oral and topical medications to other dogs and can do this for you if your dog has minor medical needs I can feed your cat and change litter if your pup has a kitty sibling.

I always dread leaving my two elderly dogs when I go on a trip, but Jewel took good care of them. She regularly communicated with me and sent lots of pictures, including her snuggling with the dogs. Would absolutely book with Jewel again!

Jewel was wonderful with my dog, Marshmallow, when I had to travel out of town for a few days. I was a little uncertain how Marshmallow would get along with Jewel’s puppy, Maya, since she hasn’t had a lot of socialization to date, but they hit it off wonderfully, whether running and playing or just snuggling. It speaks to Jewel’s real love of animals and ended up being an extra bonus for Marshmallow to get some play time with another dog. I think Marshmallow wants another playdate soon!
