All Day-Every Day Super Dog Parent

Pet care experience

I love dogs.... mine are the best. I have two dogs; Evy and Koko. Evy, beagle/poodle, was an untrained and hyper dog when I first got her. She was peeing and pooing everywhere, and chewed on everything. It took me six months to fully puppy pad, crate, and outdoor train her. Then she had puppies and I raised them from birth until they were adopted out around six months. I made sure they survived and trained them to be the best puppies ever! Puppies when they are born can't see and are like reptiles. They must be kept in a room above 80 degrees for two weeks until they develop proper body temperature. Puppies first milk (Colostrum) is important. I f they don't get that first serving of essential vitamins and minerals they will die. but to keep that from happening and to make sure they did survive, I put Colostrum formula in Evy's food. In order to keep them safe from infection, I put clean cardboard down in every section of the room and housed them in large cardboard boxes layed down with blackets for warmth.. I essentially created a giant base half the size of a bedroom. it was very small at first but as they grew, I made it bigger. I took away the boxes and just had a kennel around two months, They were crate trained, puppy pad trained, and outdoor trained. There were four beagle/poodle/dachshund pups. Boy-Boy, Mona Lisa, Eclipse, and Koko. Boy-Boy is headstrong and sweet. Mona Lisa is just like her mother, hardheaded but very intelligent. Eclipse is the gentleman; first to listen. And Koko is the center of attention; jealous but very loyal. Eclipse got adopted, my mom took Boy-Boy and Mona Lisa and I kept Koko. I love them all, even though they chewed up my carpet. I love dogs. I know about dogs personalities, how to respond to them, and recognize their moods. The key to taking care of a dog is patience. You just have to take your time with a dog and see what they do and how they act and what they like. I am available everyday in from 7 to 3. Everyday except Sundays.

Josh is the best dog sitter you can find. When his own dog gave birth to her puppies, he made sure the puppies were strong and ready for adoption. He monitored the people carefully and made sure the puppies got the best people. When he is caring for my dogs, I trust him with my Mona and Boy Boy any time.

Information Joshua M. would like to know about your pet

How active is your dog? a runner or sitter? Does it like to play games? How long can they take a walk? Allergies? Favorite human food? Can it be fed human food? How trained is your dog? Crate trained? Pad trained? Outdoor trained? I don't have breed preference, but I enjoy Beagle, Dachshund, Jack Russell, Basset Hound, and Mini Poodle breeds the most.

A typical day

I go on walks and play catch, play keep away. If the owner allows me, then I take the dog to the dog park. The best place for a dog to socialize is a dog park. My dogs are crazy for it. I tell them that they are going to the "puppy park". The moment that I park, they are on my lap and trying to get outside. And then when I open the doors, they rush and run towards the fence of the park. Its the best place to be if the dog isn't mean or getting picked on.
