I love caring for dogs and I'm really very good at it! I do Rover because I love to, not because I have to. This isn't just a way to generate income. I get so much out of hosting dogs. Because being boarded can be stressful for your baby, I know smooth transition and integration into my home is critical. I carefully watch what makes your dog comfortable and trusting of their new temporary home. I don't rush them; they guide me depending on their individual needs. When you leave your baby with me you know you won't have to worry that s/he will be put to the side, ignored or worse, simply kenneled until you pick them up. I brush, cuddle, play and specialize in Pup Naps (please don't tell my wife that Naps HAVE to be in the Human Bed, ok?) While not a dog trainer, I reinforce healthy dog habits and will work with your specific needs. I'm a personal trainer by trade and fit enough to engage active dogs. Run? Sure! Tug-of-War? Ok! Beach romps? Of course! Nap? What, are you kidding me? Heck yeah! I stringently follow your care instructions for your dog(s). I have a lot of experience: ♡Administering medications multiple times a day ♡Adhering to special diets. ♤Caring for profoundly blind and/or deaf dogs ♡Disabled dogs, including paralysis ♡Manual manipulation of bladder/bowels to encourage elimination (as instructed by owner) ♡Separation anxiety ♡Integrating dogs with other canine guests & my own doggos. ♡Love BONUS: I LOVE fetch and endlessly throwing the Ball!
