Pet care experience

Your dog can't wait to meet me!

I have had a dog for most of my life. I have loved dogs from birth until they went to doggy heaven ...and still have a lot of doggy love to give. I was a foster parent for the Hamilton county humane society for several years before covid, and all of my Foster dogs ended up being adopted. I dog sit for friends when they need it, and my schedule allows me to be very flexible. (I can get references if you need them...but I'd really rather you just meet me and let me meet your dog...and skip the red tape.)

Laurie was wonderful! She sent pics and updates that reassured us that Walter was fine and happy. We are very pleased with how well she took care of our Walter! I would like to add a $10 tip for her.

Safety, trust & environment

I am available for overnights also, and have a fenced-in backyard where they can frolic at their their Doggie camp. I am open to night crating if that is more comfortable for you and your dog, but I also am open to snuggles with them if that's what they are used to at night.

A typical day

I will get to know what your pet prefers. If they want to play catch with the ball, we can play catch. If they want to play tug of war, we'll play tug of war. If they want to snuggle on the couch, we'll snuggle on the couch. If you have a cat and they don't want to have to be social, we may never see each other! Lol ! We will figure our activities out together.
