Highlights
Pet care experience
Peace of mind for you and your pups
I have always loved dogs. As an adult I've had two Labradors that I raised on my own since they were 8 weeks old. They have since passed, and both lived until 11-13 yrs old. I loved spending as much of my time with them. I try to spend as much time outside, going for walks or drives and checking out the sights and smells, throwing a ball around, etc. One of my dogs had to have knee surgery (TPLO) on both knees, so I do have lots of experience with nursing a dog's health and their rehab.

Schedule
I work from home 5 days/wk with a job that's flexible enough to be able to take breaks from my desk and let the dogs out regularly, and go for lunch-time walks (weather permitting!) Your dog can have free roam of the house and yard with regular check-ins.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, fenced backyard. Plenty of room for your pup to stretch, sniff around, play some fetch and blow off some energy. Various walking routes nearby, as well.
A typical day
I believe in stimulating the dog's body and mind. There's plenty of walking routes in my area, along with parks and man-made lakes where your dog can check out the sights and smells. Or we can go for a drive to a nice walking trail, followed by a pup-cone (if that's permitted by the parents!) I also enjoy taking dogs to all the pet-friendly businesses in the city. You'd be surprised how many places allow pets! I have lots of dog toys, and there's nothing I enjoyed more than throwing a ball or frisbee for my dogs - so I hope yours will like to play too!
