We are dog lovers ourselves with two dogs of our own: Our Pomeranian, Maxfield, and Teacup Pomeranian, Rory. Although we can sit animals in their own homes, if that's where they are most comfortable, we generally sit dogs at our home providing that they can get along with our pups. If they are not social, that's OK too, we can let them play in our large fully fenced backyard that has covered and shady areas as well as lots of trees and paths to play on. If separation becomes necessary, Judy's residence downstairs is separate and can host delicate friends in peace with her. We are happy to have a free meet and greet in any case to let you know your canine kids are in good hands. Multiple potty breaks a day, whether it's here or at your home, to make sure your buddy doesn't lack for company. About this sitter: I am retired and have owned dogs for over thirty years. I have my niece Pam and her husband Jim living with me, as well as her brother, Stephen, and his little dachshund mix, Milo. Pam and I love to walk dogs in our neighborhood. Even though we live two blocks from an elementary school, our neighborhood still boasts of having more dogs than kids. We have had a dog walking/sitting business for the last six years and have glowing testimonials from our friends and clients. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs all my life, and finally got my own first dog 47 years ago. We've had a ball enjoying all the dogs that stay with us through Rover. All shapes and sizes and personalities of pups, each one unique. Meet my pets Maxfield, the Pomeranian, Rory, the Teacup Pomeranian, and Milo, the Dachshund Mix About my yard Our back yard is fully fenced and has defied all escape artists attempts to date. The yard is large and situated on a hillside, with terraced paths through large Apple, Oak, Red Cedar and Dogwood trees. Older or Health-Challenged Dogs may find it a bit steep...15 stairs to the Back Yard. My experience administering medication Yes, several of our guests have needed to take various meds. Our only exception was a diabetic dog (Pam is needle phobic)
