Pet care experience

I love dogs and being outside!

My husband and I adopted a puppy shortly after we got married, and we have been raising the (no longer little) guy together. We love being around dogs. We both grew up with dogs in the home, so it only felt right that we adopt one ourselves. Our families both had puppies that grew into senior dogs, so we are both capable of dealing with all age groups. We are both teachers in the Milwaukee area, and looking for a way to make some extra cash. Teaching doesn't pay nearly as well as it should, but we love our jobs and the impact we make on students. I also love going for walks and runs in my free time. My husband and I have watched friends and families dogs during holidays or new arrivals of babies! I have lots of free time on weekends and holidays (teacher perks!!). I like to keep my dog in a routine, so he always knows what to expect out of his day. Lots of play, lots of snuggles, and a whole lot of love! For boarding I am available to watch your fluffy friend starting Fridays after 4pm and up to 8pm on Sundays. My dog, Finn, is super friendly! He is the life of the party and gets along with everyone! My husband and I have a fully fenced in backyard that offers plenty of privacy and exercise for dogs. I like to let the dogs have their own time to play with each other, and then rest for a while. I believe it is important for dogs to stick to a schedule, so they know what to expect out of their day. Of course, all dogs are different which is why I like to get to know every dog before they spend time here. Safety is super important to me which is why our home is equipped with cameras and no dog will be left unattended. I love being outside, so when the dogs are out there, I'm out there!

Safety, trust & environment

I like having meet and greets before the first booking to ensure that your dog(s) get along with my dog. My dog, Finn, gets along with practically every dog, but it's better to be safe than sorry. My house has plenty of water dishes to provide lots of water to dogs throughout a play session. In my backyard I typically have a small puppy pool (summer only) to provide dogs a place to drink from or cool off their feet. If I go to your home for a drop-in visit, I will slowly open the door and softly speak your dog's name to show them that I am a friend. I can provide lots of belly rubs and ear scratches to dogs as well!

I would love to know if they like being scratched in a certain spot, if some things scare them, how they are with sharing, and normal temperament of your fluffy friend!
