Mother to human & pets

I've been around various dogs in my life and of all size. I've dogsat in my home and have gone to others house. I've also been around dogs of all ages. Pictures are of various dogs I've cared for. I take pride in getting to know each dog and have many updates for pet parents. I have a yard that even my smallest dog can't get out and love letting dogs get adequate time sunbathing, running and resting. I have a guest bedroom that I even let dogs fully take over when they stay so they feel like they are an Airbnb guest. The large dogs love the queen size bed I give them access to. I keep an extra crate for dogs who need their own space and extra beds available for dogs who need their own spot in the house. I do have a plentitude of dog toys for play/approved destruction as well. I will probably send your photos of your dogs with cowboy hats on, or try to get nice photos of them as well. We take care of the dogs as a family. Mi novio hablas espanol y hablo espanol. I do like to provide discounts to my repeated guests (lock in rates) and will make exceptions to my scheduling.

Kristen is my go-to sitter! This wasn't the first time she watched my dog, and as always, she was incredible. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust completely whenever I’m busy or away. My dog is already so comfortable with her, which speaks volumes. If you’re looking for a consistent and caring sitter, Kristen is the best!👍

Schedule

Very flexible work schedule and love to be home so dogs are never alone. I tend to my own dogs so a few more is nothing. My significant other also helps care for the dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat pets to their needs and understand what they might be used to. I get it is a new environment and try to be attentive. Most of the dogs seem to love that we have a very decent yard with no obstacles and love the roaming. I let them have supervised time in the backyard for the ones who enjoy the sun. Any photos of a grass backyard was my Idaho home before moving to Nevada. I have an extra crate, multiple dog beds, extra dog food, gates and pen area to help accommodate dog’s stays and for my younger pup guests.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy walking dogs and letting them roam in my backyard to be comfortable. I let them stick with whatever is normal to their lives. Some dogs like the company of laying on the couch next to us and sometimes I just let the dogs interact and play with toys.

I know every dog is different and try to accommodate the different personalities. I make it integral to stick to their routines. I do believe treating them as your own. Eating routines are appreciated and I also recommend bringing something they like to lay on.
