Pet care experience

My husband and I have had dogs since we were little. We both began taking care of our family dogs at very young ages (5-7 years old). For me: I’ve always had multiple dogs/animals. I’ve owned and trained a variety of dogs ranging from Chihuahua mixes to Great Danes and German Shepherds, and all sizes in between. I’ve also had a variety of dogs from puppies to older rescue dogs. I’ve had one cat as well that grew up with a doggy brother. For my husband: He has a very large knowledge base of dog training and caring. His parents used to breed Brittany Spaniels and he assisted with every little since 7 years old, training them, feeding them, caring for them and exercising/playing with them. He would even do this before and after school as a child. They also had Brittany’s and Lab’s that he would show in Dog Shows and would run them in Field Trials. He is very good with animals of all kinds, and animals usually attach themselves to my husband the moment he walks in the room. We have two girls that love dogs and cats and all sorts of animals. They have been around big and small dogs and cats as well. My husband and I recently lost both our Miniature Schnauzer and our Maine Coon last year and would be very happy to help care for your pets when you need, treat them like family as you’d want, and show them a wonderful home away from home.

Safety, trust & environment

My husband is currently a stay at home dad. And our girls go to a sitter 2 weekdays each week and then to grandma’s house 2 weekdays each week with 1 overnight stay. So we have plenty of availability to ensure your pet is well fed and exercised, and that ample time is spent with them. Each daughter sleeps in their own room as well, so our room and other areas of the house would be available for your pets at night as well, however they would normally sleep at your home. With my dog, we would feed him at 7am and 7pm as that’s what worked best for his diet as an older dog. He would also need frequent potty breaks, so rest assured that your pet will be taken out whenever they may need. We currently live in a townhome that has a large side yard where we could let them run around and play. We also have a variety of walking/running paths around the small ponds in our area, and a large grass area (right down the street from my house) where they have dogs playing and running around with other dogs or just their owners (depending on time of day and what season it is). We also have an ADT security system.

Availability

We are currently already on a routine, early wake ups and early bed times for our girls, and frequently enjoy spending time outdoors and going on walks, whether hot or cold out. I currently work from home and have a separate home office. My husband has a very flexible schedule and would be able to care for the animals as needed during the day.
