Dog fanatic, fenced backyard

About me, I am a canine rescue director and have been for the past couple of decades. I thoroughly enjoy working with dogs and am a trainer. My personal dog is extremely well socialized and enjoys welcoming another dog. Dogs are never allowed to potty outside unattended and I work from home. They will be more than loved and a tad spoiled when they return to you! I provide pictures daily and video so that you can see how pleased they are with the setup. Any positive based training I do is included with the cost. I look forward to babysitting your dogs and I think you will be pleased with the results! Thank you for your interest, Karen! They are allowed on the furniture and can sit with me as I go through my workday. My schedule is flexible and unconstructed so I have time to be with your pups. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company. I can crate if your pup needs it. The house is alrge enough for roaming as well with lots of windows.

Karen and her husband were honestly the most kindest people I’ve ever met. My family normally takes our dog Lola everywhere we go but wasn’t allowed to bring her to Florida with us for our daughter soccer tournament so she stayed with Karen for 8 days. I didn’t worry about Lola at all because not only was she happy to be at Karen’s I knew she was completely safe.

She was great! She sent pictures of Chico when she could and I could tell Chico had the best time there.

I would like to know feeding schedule, sleep preference, allergies and any other special needs. If you could, a written schedule works well for me in terms of amount of food, etc.
