We (my husband, son and myself) own a large home with a fenced back yard and a swimming pool. We also have a dog door if your dog is so inclined to use it. We are almost always home with the dogs. They are only alone for short times when running errands. We will send pictures and video clips of your pet via text message while you are away if you desire. We have a 3 year old male Golden Retriever and a 10 year old Lab/aussie mix. Both love when dog friends come to stay and play with them. About this sitter: Although we prefer to have your pets at our home, my son and I would be willing to stay with your pets in the comfort of their own home if the situation is right. We understand that some pets simply get too stressed out if they have to leave their normal environment. Both of us have experience in pet sitting and we know the peace of mind it brings knowing your pets are loved and well cared for when you're out of town. Please contact us to discuss the details. We have been pet sitting for several years with great reviews! Why I love dog sitting We have always been dog people. My husband and I both grew up with dogs in our homes. I can't imagine ever not having a dog (or two, or three). We feel they are a part of our family and love them as if they were our children. About my yard We have a block wall enclosed back yard. Our yard is a bit larger than the typical yard here in AZ. We have a pool and grassy area where the dogs can play. My experience administering medication I am a Registered Nurse with 14 years of experience. As long as I am given proper instructions, I am completely comfortable administering medications.
