Easy going, fur-baby loving gal

Pet care experience

I treat every animal as if he/she is my own. I will always love and protect them while in my care. I love all types of dogs and have had at least one all my life. I just lost my Boxer Baby to Boxer Cardiomyopathy in April of 2016, but gained a new Boxer this past August (2017). I am looking to help others and their animals get the exercise they need to live long and healthy lives. I have experience with various dogs of all backgrounds. Cocker Spaniels, English Bulldogs, Terriers, Boxers, Cockapoos, Mixed breeds, American Bulldogs, Staffordshire Terriers, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, old and young. I have gone through 3 levels of obedience training with my first boxer. I know commands and speak with authority. My passed boxer was fed home cooked meals for the last four years of his life and I have no problem cooking for your fur baby. I understand some dogs get fed twice a day while others are fed once. I am able to do both. I can come over first thing in the morning and let your fur baby out for a morning potty break with play and/or come over in the afternoon/evening to have some quality time. I am self-employed, running my own graphic design company. This allows me to make a flexible schedule and work from anywhere. So if you required me to sit with your fur baby for an extended amount of time, I can do that as well while working off my laptop. If you require walks, we can either walk your neighborhood or I can take your fur baby to the nearest dog park, as long as they are tagged and documented with the city as well as up to date with vaccinations. I am also good with cats and will be able to take care of their needs, if needed.

Information Joy D. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I would like to meet the fur baby first and make sure they like me. I don't really have any other requirements, just that they feel comfortable around me before being left alone with them.

A typical day

I love to run or walk during my walks. I can go long distances or just around the block. I enjoy taking well mannered fur babies to the dog parks. Fetch is a good activity as well as training exercises like sit, stay, lay down, etc.
