Availability

I’m a teacher, so during summer and breaks I have lots of free time. I have two boys, both of whom love animals. They would love to have a pet visit our home. I can only house-sit when I don’t have my children with me, but can board an animal anytime. Important to note that during the school year my Friday availability is evening only.

Information Johannah M. would like to know about your pet

You are the expert about your dog. Please let me know if any special concerns with your dog. Does your dog take medicine? Does your dog tend to be friendly or more shy? Does your dog prefer a longer or shorter walk? Is there anything your dog is scared of that I should know about?

A typical day

Walks, playing with my kids (12 and 16), maybe brushing, maybe some fetch or tug of war, treats (with your permission). I try to let the dog set the plan as much as possible. An older dog may prefer a shorter walk. At the end of the day, my kids would love the dog to sleep in one of their rooms but mine is always available and it is the dog’s choice.

I have had several dogs but do not currently have any pets. I have had to give medicine to dogs and lots of experience with puppy “accidents”.
