I absolutely love dogs! I am my friends and family's go-to for dog-sitting and have everything you might need including bowls, treats, toys, bones, kennels, etc - just bring their food. I have taken care of everything from puppies to senior citizens. I grew up with an amazing mutt, and now that I have my own home I have a very sweet, old-hearted Coonhound mix. He gets along with any sized or aged dog, and generally minds his own business (Mr. Independent). I have trained Jasper myself, so I am always willing to abide by whatever rules or training you suggest. I have dealt with food aggressive dogs before, so I don't struggle once I understand the dog's needs and discomfort. Willing to go above and beyond! Dogs that visit or stay generally go home happy and exhausted from lots of playtime! However if they prefer to relax and just go for a few walks a day I accommodate that as well. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run or sun bathe. I have lots of dog toys if staying at my home. I also have extra bowls and crates, one of which is a 6 foot outdoor kennel that Jasper no longer uses. It's in my basement, not outside. I also allow dogs to roam the house when I am out if that is what they are used to, separating dogs from different households just to be safe. I feed dogs from separate homes in separate rooms, and monitor dogs from the same home to make sure no one is stealing from the wrong bowl. Feel free to ask any questions you might have and I'll do my best to answer! No question is silly or stupid when you're new to the experience. Dogs are my life and currently my full time job, so I'm all theirs! I generally have some lunchtime walks that I do through the week and maybe am and/or pm drop ins, varying by day. Weekends are less busy in that respect. I have a 5 ft aluminum fenced in yard. If your dog is tiny and could possibly fit through the slats I keep them on a leash. I don't leave dogs from different households alone together, even when outside. I have multiple crates of various sizes to fit your dogs needs if they are crated. Don't worry, if you trust them to wander around your home uncrated then they are free to do so here as well!
