Hello there! I’m an OSU and Capital University Law School alumnus and work from home as a practicing attorney! I'm from NE Ohio, but have called Columbus home for the last 14 years. I live in 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on the border of Victorian Village and Harrison West. I have a small backyard that is fully fenced (6 foot wood privacy fence) so your pup can run and play as much as he/she/they would like. A little about my care: • I love capturing pups at their best and promise to send you as many pics as you want! • Dogs new to each other are supervised at all times when together. If I am not available to supervise (example: errands, showering, mowing) then I separate while I’m busy. (Different bedrooms, kennels, sides of baby gate). • I have plenty of toys but if one dog exhibits toy aggression, all toys are put away unless dog is alone with the toy. • Over night dogs sleep wherever “normal” is for them: kennel, free roam, my bed, etc. • You ONLY need to bring food, treats, and a kennel (if applicable)! I have bowls, toys, blankets, etc. • I don’t require meet and greets because I have ability to always separate dogs if needed. On the dog’s first day I do “slow meets” via the backyard or a baby gate in my house (new dogs meets may take hours depending on the dog!). I've watched everything from tiny yorkies, to high energy working dogs, to a mellow 10 year old German Shepard. I am skilled in providing many types of medication. I love taking pictures and videos and will send plenty of updates! 🐕 My dog: My sweet 16 year old female Shih-tzu, Taffy, recently crossed the rainbow bridge. She was a sleepy, cuddly, crusty old lady with a bark. She received multiple kinds of morning medication and just wanted to be held! She occasionally played once she was used to a new dog otherwise minded her own business on the couch. If your pup is a senior babe who needs a little extra care and cuddles, you’ve come to the right place! They have a special place in my heart. I also have a 4 year old male mini golden doodle. His name is "Ruth" or "Tootie" or “RootieTootieBigBooty” haha. I'm convinced his motto is play hard, love harder-constantly into his toys, doing zoomies around the table, cuddling with Taffy, and stealing kisses. He's a lover and has never met a dog that hasn't become an instant buddies! He is an IG star (@RuthieStreet). Feel free to follow along as visiting pups regularly make cameos in his story for the day. When not dog sitting or working on running my law firm, I volunteer fostering rescue dogs with Freedom Tails Ohio, babysit humans, serve as President of a local nonprofit, am boxing, or am on a boat! Ruth is a proud boat dog when we visit Grandma and Grandpa :) He has even gone tubing with me! Ruth and I would love for your pups to come hang with us!
