dogs with special needs

Pet care experience

I have been watching and caring for dogs my whole life. I love snuggling older dogs, and am VERY experienced taking care of sick dogs (eye drops, suppositories, pills, liquid medications, special diets, etc.). I am available all day and night Thursday through Sunday for any kind of arrangement. I am available Monday through Wednesday but am out of the house for 5 hours in the afternoon. If staying at my house, your dog will have my 11-year old Chihuahua, Cliffy, to snuggle with. He mostly sleeps, and doesn’t play, but has many toys to play with! My husband, Todd, loves younger dogs and will want to play and walk them. He also loves larger dogs, since we’ve got a 7 pound dog at home. When I watch a pet, it’s certainly a whole family affair, and you’re dog is welcomed with open arms into our lives!

Information Joan S. would like to know about your pet

I request that we meet before hiring to make sure everyone’s comfortable with the arrangement. If staying at my house, our dogs must meet prior to the stay. If I’m staying at your house, I request you be open to my dog and husband coming too.

A typical day

I am a freelance writer from home, so the best fit is probably older dogs that don’t enjoy being at a kennel with a lot of other dogs and noises. It’ll be a quiet, snuggly time with me.
