HIGHLIGHTS: - working from home - can only board dog-friendly dogs, I have Border Collie mix and I co-parent Frenchie mix. My absolute max is 5 dogs total (including my own) - pets in the bed and furniture are okay, I love to snuggle - I do not have a yard but live right across the gated off-leash dog area, and it's a must that your pupper can visit the park - Lower Bottoms Dogpark in Oakland - over 15 years of experience - 5 years via ROVER - new clients accepted but an person meet and greet is always required for new puppers I have been surrounded by pets and animals all my life, I grew up on a farm, the REAL farm: with cows, pigs, and chickens and we had so many cats and dogs. I have extensive experience taking care of different pure and mixed breeds of all ages and pets who need medication or/and have a medical condition. Dogs are allowed to roam freely in my bedroom and in the general living areas. My dream would be to have a small house in a secluded place surrounded by nature, with 20 or more rescue dogs and other animals :) If your dog has separation anxiety and it expresses by scratching doors/windows or destroying property, please provide a crate. If your dog is an excessive barker, please provide the bark collar. I will be taking care of your fur baby as they would be my own and keeping your pet loved and happy. Furbabies truly are my best companions and I absolutely love to be surrounded by them. I live on a second-floor unit in a residential area with about 15 steps. I do have roommates as well, who are totally okay with what I do. However, my roommates will never be expected to take care of the dogs. If I leave the house to run errands, 2-3 hrs at the time, I'll put them in my part of the house so they will be safe and sound.
