Home full time! Fenced yard!

Pet care experience

*NOTE: REGRETTABLY-Due to recent development of allergic asthma-NO SHORT HAIR dogs (pits,frenchie,boxer,boston terrier,short haired pointers, etc) Complete & total canine obsessed! Have raised and rescued 4 dogs over the last 15 years. I believe dogs complete a home. We recently lost all 3 of our dogs, 2 Cavaliers and a Sheltie mix (one Cav we rescued at 10!) within 3 years and have so much love to give while we take some time before adding a new furbaby of our own. **EDIT--We welcomed another rescue Cavalier King Charles in Feb 2019 and he is a sweet, fiesty little guy! Full time availability, experience w/high need dogs, can administer medications, provide unlimited cuddling, walks, runs, hikes, carrides, adherence to a routine & a space in our bed at night (if "Rufus" wants it). While I have a Cavalier King Charles space always open in my heart, there is plenty of room for your baby! I believe every dog, especially seniors, deserve to know love as unconditional as the love they give us and would have a retirement village for senior dogs if I could!! Clients must be house trained, NO POTTY PADS, any method (natural or chemical) flea protected for the health of all doggies who visit.

6 out of 5 Woof Stars! Our dog loves it when she is with her. He will bounce from door to door in the car as soon as we turn into the block! She does a great job and our dog loves his vacation getaway!!

Information Laraine R. would like to know about your pet

I have extensive experience with Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, through ownership and dog sitting. I just "get" them. A very special Doberman once stole my heart. Haven't met a dog I didn't LOVE! I would like to know any special needs, key words/cues, typical routine, and presence of important behaviors like resource guarding or dog-aggressiveness for protection of your dog. Neither are a problem but important to know for walks and feeding environment. Because of numerous bad experiences, house destruction and anxiety I only take full grown LABS after a successful meet and greet AND trial day.

A typical day

We live in a quiet small town, no highway, lots of routes to walk and a park with a fenced area great for fetch and roaming. There are 2 local dog parks if that's your dog's thing! I am a runner and can accommodate any distance if you have a runner! But I also love a nap with your lazy baby! While it depends on the attachment needs of your furbaby, I am more than willing to have a copilot on carrides too!
