My family has had dogs for my entire life. We started out with two chow chows, and after a brief puppy hiatus, we switched over to having Australian shepherds. Currently, my family has seven Aussies, with another two that have since passed (side note: one of these dogs was especially ill; I have years of experience giving oral medication as well as insulin injections). It is very common for us siblings to take turns watching each other’s dogs in addition to our parents’ all at once. You haven’t seen wild until you play fetch with the Aussie Posse! My strength as a sitter and/or dog caretaker is that I will ensure not only make sure that your dogs is healthy and safe, but I’ll guarantee their happiness during their time with me. I currently live with my two Aussies, Gram & lLouie. Gram is just over 2.5 yo, and he LOVES other dogs - rough play included! Lovable Louie wants all the attention all the time. My normal routine with the dogs is to walk them about every hour and be sure to get them exercised with some rigorous play time. DISCLAIMER: Dogs that have any history of aggression, household destruction, severe anxiety, or using the bathroom inside of the home will be promptly denied any service, present or future. This is to ensure the safety & respect of myself, my animals, my Rover friends, as well our home. I work full time ~10 mins from my home. My work schedule is as follows: S-M: 7a-7p, T-Th: 7a-1p. On my long days of work, I come home for lunch and to tend to the dogs. We live in a single small family home in Oakmont. We have a fully fenced in back yard, deck, and patio space for the dogs to play freely. I also am a huge fan of taking my pack to the local dog parks so they can meet some new friends. Also, Oakmont may be one of the dog-friendliest places I have lived! Lots of safe walking space and passerby's to sniff.
