I've cared for dogs virtually my entire life. I have worked with young dogs, old dogs, small dogs, big dogs; as well as with disabled and elderly dogs with specialized medical needs. My pups and I have experienced a lot of life, met, lived with, and cared for so many dog friends. I understand dogs not as pets but family, friends, and unique beings with their own unique set of characteristics, desires, and anxieties. The ways I engage with dogs vary depending on each dogs demeanor, communicated or sensed needs. About my dog Kyuss: Kyuss is my 11 year old ESA Blue Heeler/ Australian Shepard mix whom I raised and trained on my own. Kyuss is a little disabled and often wears a paw brace to get around. His energy levels vary but he is still very spry, loves to adventure, adores little dogs, and is friendly and loving all around. The black poodle pictured in my photos is Pepper, Pepper and I spent virtually his entire life together and I had him through his young pup days, into his elder dog days until the day he passed. I understand the anxieties of leaving your furry babies behind from time to time (especially with someone new) Thus, I am open to frequent communication and updates, including photos and videos, with you while I am in the care of your pets as well as meeting prior to making any agreements. I am offering dog walking and check-in services. Overnight stays are dependent on circumstance: I can overnight sit at your house if you and your animals are okay with my dog being included in their space. I can offer overnight stays at my home for smaller dogs. Let's talk about it! I hope to meet you and your pups soon!
