Pet care experience

I love dogs and THEY love me!

I have a medium sized fenced in back yard that is great for the dogs to run and play. I do not mind taking a run with your dog or even going to the dog park. I am in excellent health and physical shape, so no dog scares me. I have owned adult dogs from as little as 10 pounds to as many as 110 pounds. As a child, I raised nearly 400 puppies with my dad over a 10-year period. In addition to raising dogs, I have rescued several large to small pups. I can love a pure bread and a mixed dog better than anyone can without being bias. They are all God’s creation and I want to host them and make them feel at home while they are away from your home. Through my experiences with dogs, I learned how to train and take care of them very well. I love hosting dogs, but have begun walking and doing more drop in visits so please message me for all your dog needs! I am a high school teacher. My hours are set with work, but I have great pet friendly trusted friends who often will jump in to help me with accommodations to meet my client and pets needs. I have not had a dog injured or escape from my care. I am very big on safety. I want the dogs to play together with others, but they need that proper introduction and time to ensure all goes smoothly. I also never leave them in the backyard if I leave the house.

Jonathan was great for our two older dogs. We just moved into town and needed someone to watch them while we closed on our home, and Jonathan was very accommodating.

A typical day

Typically if the weather is nice I let the dogs enjoy the backyard as much as they want to. Dogs that need an additional walk or run can have one, but most get their energy out if I have other dogs boarding. We enjoy cuddles in my house from the floor, to the couch, and even my bed.

I can accommodate basically any special needs requests. Just ask and I have probably done it, or can do it. I’m always willing to learn.
