Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a fences in yard, but I do have a tie out that I utilize for Midas to use the facilities, so to speak. For exercise, we typically go find a trail to wander along. I can easily crate your dog if needed, I have a large crate available. If small crate is needed, it would need to be provided by you. When it comes to house sitting, depending on my schedule, I may ask that my dog be able to join me. I work remotely during the day, so I can be there during the day if needed, but I also need to make sure my dog is with me or taken care of in that instance.

Information Joanna C. would like to know about your pet

If they have needs as far as training. If your dog has separation anxiety that would limit what I am able to do while they are at my house, as well as how severe and their reactions to being alone (example: can they be left alone for small periods of time, or not at all). If they're reactive, and what their triggers are.

A typical day

I work from home, so during the work day, we'll be lounging in my home office. When the work day is over, however, the fun begins. Evenings are regularly spent at home, but I live about 5 minutes from an environmental center with lots of trails, so I love to take my dog out there on a regular basis for walks, hikes, and runs. As well as a few other key spots I know in Westminster that I like to go. If your dog needs socialization, I can easily take him to a public space that allows dogs and sit out to read or something while they get experience. Westminster is our oyster, so to speak, and if there is something your pooch needs or you want for them, let me know and we'll work to make it happen.

Golden mom, loves to give scritches

Pet care experience

I have experience working with (watching, light training, exercising) separation anxiety and reactivity in dogs. Dog Training style: positive reinforcement with correction when needed. (experience training horses in my background in addition to my own dog) Experience with elderly dog care in their own home (day and overnight), medication, mobility issues. Volunteer work at my local humane society also gave me experience walking lots of dogs of various sizes, temperaments, breeds, training levels.

Thank you! He definitely isn't a fan of the heat. He is so sweet, we lucked out so much with an amazing pup! It looks like he had a great time 😄
