Pet care experience

Work From Home Dog Mom

My dog Becca and I, love to hang out with other dogs. I've been pet sitting for 6 years, and I have grown up with dogs. I'm a true dog lover, as they are my babies. I have a Chiweenie named Becca, who is friendly with other dogs, and she is very good about knowing if other dogs want to be played with or left alone. I currently live in a Tiny House community, so I can only take one small dog at my house, at a time. I have been doing a lot of house sitting, which have been great for families that have dogs that need the comfort of their own home. I'm a world class cuddler, and trust me, I will love your dog, as my own. I'm a homebody by nature, but when I do leave the house, I won't be gone longer than 3 hours.

Our lil Buddy & Rusty had a great time with Kathleen and lil Becca - poor Kathleen had a problem with our smoke detectors beeping - had to deal with Maint coming out twice that night - we are so glad to have Kathleen - someone who really knows and loves dogs - you can tell when you meet her

Kathleen was fantastic! She came over before hand to allow the dogs to warm up to her. They had a happy and healthy disposition when I came home. I’m very grateful for this experience.

I work from home full time, so I have plenty of time to handle any situation that comes up, and I have lots of time for snuggles and play time.

The biggest thing I want to know is how your dog interacts with other dogs. My dog is really friendly, but I do want to make sure your dog would be ok with mine. Will your dog be ok with long naps while I work, with plenty of potty and lunch breaks. Also, any special diets and/or medications are important to know. Besides those "serious" things, are there any special games or traditions you would like me to continue with your dog?
