I strive to give each of our houseguests lots of personal care. For this reason I rarely board more than 2 dogs at a time - getting to know them individually and doing what I can to assure they’re safe and happy! The friendly resident mutt, Mojo, enjoys playdates. Our house has a doggie door leading to a big grassy backyard with plenty of shade and water to drink, and a little pool for splashing in summer. The entire back, front & side yards are enclosed and gated. The pups have free access to our cozy home with lots of natural light, squeaky toys, beds and balls of different sizes.... And fun challenges and puzzles too. Socialization, play and exercise are essential for stimulating your dog's mind and maintaining emotional balance. Also, I let dogs be dogs and just feel their grace. I maintain a level of safeguards that you require as a dog owner - from non-toxic plants, eco-and doggo-friendly cleaning products, to seatbelts in the car. We also have a 'Furbo' camera in the living room for extra surveillance! And does your dog like hiking? Tug-of-War? Chasing tennis balls? Or does he/she jump on the bed all day? Just sleep in a crate curled up in a ball? I’m here for whatever suits your dog. I know how special your pet is and how specific their needs can be. You’ll love the photos I take! - ‘judysbedandbarkfast’on IG I’m an attentive mom. My 13yr old daughter loves helping (with supervision of course, and only after I evaluate your dog). We love your dogs like family! And, if you have a cat you would like someone to check-on, care for, play with, & cuddle... Love cats too! ***** Yrs of exp: 45+ (Almost my whole life) ***** Experienced with puppies, kitties, seniors, administering medicine... long-term boarding... bathing... training... snuggling... ***** Goal is to earn your dog's respect as his/her trusted friend and leader ***** Knowledgeable, trustworthy, caring, easy-going, active, outdoorsy. . Update: I now own a small business in La Canada: - Button Nose Pet Shop - a full service grooming facility and source for healthy food, treats, toys and more. I strive to be available for your dog as much as possible, therefore I have assistance at work and I won’t take a booking unless I’m not scheduled at the shop or your dog isn’t one that can join me as shop-dog! I'm looking so forward to meeting you!
