*ALL* pet care in YOUR home.
Pet care experience
I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I lost my 14 yr. old lab to old age 2 years ago, and just recently got a new yellow lab puppy here in March. I really missed having a travel companion! I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity.

Safety, trust & environment
I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info should all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!
Home
Information Julie P. would like to know about your pet
Breed, Age, Allergies, Medications, Diet, Usual demeanor, any aggressive tendencies/history of biting or attacking humans or other animals, Normal baseline routine for the day/night, Name and phone number of 24 hr vet. Poison control telephone number. Name and number of 2 personal or family contacts in case of pet emergency.
A typical day
First thing is outside for potty break. Next is breakfast and fresh water. An "after breakfast" potty break is next. While outside it's a great time to get in some games - maybe tug, or a little fetch. This also is a great time for a walk. I like to take my Dog to the dog park in the morning down in TX where I Winter, as the afternoons near the MX border can be scorching hot! I had my dogs wear heat resistant booties as the potential to burn their little feet was very real! Here in the North, morning or afternoon is usually ok - sometimes both! My own dog gets a snack around lunch time. Another potty break. Sometimes a little nap in the early afternoon. Maybe some entertaining or relaxing Doggy TV. I also really like the relaxation music for dogs on YouTube. I've noticed it works very well to relax my puppy at times. Then outside again for potty break and a few games. A chewy toy or bone is given if it is ok with owner at whenever time they want. Water is checked often and filled as needed. I can provide light pet brushing outside if needed.

I love animals. I have a yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates!
