Need in-home doggy daycare?

Pet care experience

As the daughter of an in-home dog groomer I had a lot of experience with many different dog breeds growing up. My mom also did some part-time boarding which, was a lot of fun for me. I grew up with many dogs of my own as well, both large and small. It wasn't until the last few years that I was unable to have one of my own because we simply didn't have the space. I miss being around dogs on a daily basis and would love to teach my daughter how to love them as much as I do. I am currently a stay at home mother to a daughter that requires special care and would need to be with me during the times I am with the doggies. I would be available most days without limitation with exception of the 2 days a week that she goes to physical therapy. On those days I may need an approximate 2 hour window to leave. I am also available on weekends, holidays and overnight if needed. I'd also like to mention that my daughter's care regimen is very flexible. I should be able to adjust it to the doggy's needs with out issue. I have been pet sitting since 2001. I have experience with a range of dog breeds as well as cats, rodents and some reptiles. I also have some experience with administering inject-able medications such as insulin. I have helped care for older animals that need special attention and young animals that require hand feeding. I am very adaptable and love to learn about new and better ways to care for animals. I would love to be able to keep your fur babies happy while you're away!

Katie always took great care of our pets and our home, but the most important thing was how happy our dog always was to see her. She gave him so much love and attention, and he never seemed to miss us at all as long as Katie was there! She is a true animal lover.

A typical day

I try to be adaptable with the animals that I care for to keep them as content as possible while the family is away. I give them as much love I can in the time I am with them. I can follow a strict routines if needed. I think it's most important to be flexible with the needs of the individual pet and client as no two situations are exactly alike and I want to be sure that I can care for them properly. Note - My daughter does require physical therapy twice a week so it is possible we may need to leave for around 2 hours on those days. We have her own care routine but it is not overly involved and it can be adapted to fit around most schedules.
