Note: my dog is with me on housesitting stays:) Dogs are my passion and give my life purpose. I have almost always had a dog in my life and I totally understand how hard it is to leave them when you go away. I will give you peace of mind that your dogs are safe and secure, comfortable, and feel loved by me when in my care. I have formed life-long bonds with many of my dog-clients over the years. I love dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities and consider it an honor to care for them. MY DOG ILAH ACCOMPANIES ME ON HOUSE SITTING STAYS. She is the Aussie in the photos - 7 years, sweet disposition, well-mannered, gets along great with dogs and loves humans. She has a way of making even the most shy doggies feel comfortable. Puppies learn from her and old dogs appreciate her gentle companionship. Older dogs have a special place in my heart. I understand their needs for comfort and appreciate the gentleness they offer. No walk is too slow to not be worthwhile and there will always be plenty of time to smell the roses. They will get the attention they need to make every outing a happy experience. I will take impeccable care of your home and give your dogs all the attention they need to feel comfortable and secure. Their safety is my top priority - I will watch them at all times when they are in your yard even if it’s fenced, and they will be safely on their leashes every time we go for a walk. We don’t generally go to dog parks but we do take long on-leash walks every day if your dog is able. Whatever your dogs want is what we will do.
