I have been a dog lover and advocate since I was a child. I have shared most of my life with a fur baby of my own. Most recently, between my own fur baby, a Shiba Inu who passed away last year at the age of 14, and being a foster home for 30+ dogs, I have experience with various breeds and temperaments from Chihuahuas to Golden Retrievers and Puppies to Seniors. My role as a Foster Mom was a very rewarding experience. I partnered with a Chihuahua dog rescue and would often have multiple foster dogs in my home at one time. While in my care, I was responsible for their overall health and well-being and preparing them for their eventual forever home. Some of the fosters had previous owners so, I would focus on refreshing them on the basics like leash manners, potty training, and basic commands. However, many of the fosters had been mistreated or lived their entire lives on the street. These fosters needed extra care and patience so I would focus on building trust and reassurance until they knew they were in a safe place. As a result, I have experience supporting dogs with mental and physical impairments such as blindness, mobility issues, anxiety, and trauma. In addition, I am comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs in post-surgical recovery. By providing lots of love and guidance, I have successfully prepared 30+ fosters for their forever home! I work from home so your dog will have lots of love and attention throughout the day. I have a fenced-in backyard with lots of room for small to medium dogs to run around and play. Rest assured; I will always accompany your dog outside. If your dog likes to go for walks, I live in a residential community with lots of green spaces for us to explore. While in my care, I am confident that I can provide a safe, happy, and fun experience for your dog, whether they are with me for the day or a longer period of time.
