Must Love Dogs-Pampering your Pooch

If your dog is your baby, then we are speaking the same language. I recently lost my baby of 16 years, so I am reopening my home for pet sitting and doggy daycare. I work from home full time, and have experience caring for senior dogs. Your babies will have plenty of dog beds, toys, blankets and couch seats to enjoy at my house. My apartment is more of a corner townhouse with a large green grassy area directly out front, and a creek walking trail just behind it. I have indoor smart cameras to monitor them if I need to step out or run errands. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be a little nerve wracking. I made a list of rules for my owns parents to watch my dog when I first got him, so rest assured they are in competent and caring hands. I will send plenty of pup selfies too so you won't miss them as much. Please let me know if you have any questions before booking.

Words are failing me right now - I picked Toby up last night (this was the 2nd time Kristen had watched him) and not only did she throw him a little puppy birthday (as I was gone on his bday) and make him an incredible card but she inquired about a lump on his shoulder. Lump?? WHAT LUMP?? I had not even noticed but sure enough my little guy had a lump on his shoulder. Took him to the vet this am, it was a benign cyst they drained - no big deal but do you know how much peace of mind and gratitude I feel to have left my little man in the care of someone who loved on him so much she found a little lump I didn't even know about??? I don't have words. I do know that I will continue to use Kristen (for another week starting tomorrow) and I'm beyond thankful to have found her. She is amazing and I cannot say enough good things.

Kristen took AMAZING care of my little fur-baby!!! I got tons of updates and pictures throughout his stay and he came home happy, exhausted and just like I never left!! I love it when there is no change in behavior when I pick my dog up - means his stress was down, he was content and he was happy!!! Kristen treated my little guy as if he were her own and it shows!! I will definitely be using her again in the future and I encourage you to as well!! Four paws up for this one!!!

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are allowed on all the furniture and cuddling is encouraged. I try to take any pet guests outside several times a day as they adjust to a new environment and so they can explore new places. I also have a crash tested dog car seat for up to 35 pounds if they like to go for car rides or visit the park.

A typical day

My work day is fairly flexible so I won't be tied up in endless meetings. We'll have plenty of breaks to play, cuddle, throw toys, look out the windows, and go for walks.

Please share your pet's usual schedule, likes and dislikes, or issues to watch out for so we can have a safe and fun time together.
