1/4 acre shaded yard with 6' fence!

Pet care experience

Its 2022...time fllyng by...my love of caring for dogs still fills my heart!♡♡♡ However, the many dogs over the years enjoying running and playing in my back yard has taken a toll on the grass! Thus I am going to have to go with smaller dogs only, (small and medium) so I can seed the yard and have nice grass for my furbabies to enjoy this spring and summer. Update.....October 2017.....I have been a pet sitter for over 7 years now! I started on Facebook and now I am on Rover. I have repeat doggie clients, and then, when those doggies go over the rainbow bridge, and the owners have healed, they always bring their new furry family member to me. This makes me feel like I am part of their family, through thick and thin...This is a job I absolutely love, especially now that my dear Bennie, a Cocker Spaniel mix, has passed, approximately 5 months ago. He lived a wonderful life of 17 years I miss him very much, but the dogs that come to fill that hole in my heart are a true blessing! One day, I will be ready to adopt another needy and loving dog..... I provide 24/7 dog care at my home which is in the Longwood/Altamonte Springs area. I have a very large shaded back yard with a 6' wood fence surrounding the double lot property as well as a separate fenced side yard that allows access in and out of house through a doggy door. Your dog will be able to come in and out of house when it needs or wants to. I integrate your pet into my family which includes two dogs, so it will get a lot of attention and playtime. I can also give your dog a bath at the end of its stay so "Rover" will go home nice and clean. I also can provide lunchtime/daycare care for both cats and dogs at your home including including exercising or walks. Past experience includes 5 years as a foster dog parent for rescues until they were placed in loving homes. I also volunteer at the Seminole County SPCA walking the dogs and caring for the kitties. Please have your dogs up to date on shots and flea treatments. References available. About this sitter: 24 hour pet care at my home in Longwood area. Large shaded back yard with 6' wood fencing. No cages; your dog is part of my family with two small dogs. Mission To provide a natural setting that is relaxing and enjoyable for dogs.

Why I love dog sitting I have always been a animal lover- dogs, cats, horses! I have always had a dog growing up. Several years ago I volunteered as a foster dog parent for 3 years. Two years ago, I started my own pet sitting business out of my home. I also volunteer at the local SPCA in my free time.Ho Meet my pets I have a mixed breed shepherd, Charlie who is a bout 2 to 3 years old. He is very gentle, and loves to play with any dog who will play with him. I adopted Charlie from one of my clients who jhad a job that kept him away from Charlie for sometimes 50 to 60 hours a week, including weekends and holidays. He knew that Charlie'[s situation was making hime anxious, and lonely. Eventually, as Charlies spent more time at my home, the owner asked me if I would be willing to adopt Charlie, and I said absolutely! Charlie needed stimulation from other dogs and humans, and a nice big yard to run around in. So I have had Charlie now for over a year. He is an absolute joy! :) About my yard I have a 2 lot property, approx. 1/4 acre. The entire back and side yard is surrounded with 6 foot wood fencing. The side yard also has wood fencing as well as chain link. A doggie door opens into the laundry room of the side yard so dogs can come and go as they please. I can gate off the two areas if necessary. I also have a 10' open cedar porch and am surrounded by large shady oak trees in a quiet neighborhood.

Lisa was fun to meet with. She has a lovely yard and home. There were other dogs that were also really friendly and wanted to play. It’s a good idea to label your bag of supplies and to write down all instructions and information for each pet so Lisa can refer to it. My dogs were happy there. Lisa went out of her way and gave my poodle a bangs mini haircut trim and a bath. He’s a senior, 18. His eyesight is failing. Lisa did everything she could to try to help him. She has a good heart. Call on your cell phone from her driveway to not trigger a bunch of barking in her place when arriving there. She will walk to your car. My experience was great, dogs all happy. Pictures sent to me with updates were really appreciated.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I have a lovely, shady neighborhood that is very dog friendly and woodsy. I usually take them around 2 large blocks which is equivalent to about a mile. I can take them once or twice, but they usually are happy to do their business in the back or side yard, which I clean every day. Your dog's sleeping arrangement He is allowed to sleep on certain leather chairs and sofas, and even the bed. I will place him in a carrier or cage if you prefer. He can also sleep on his own bed if you bring one. All dogs sleep inside at night! Time I'll spend with your dog Pretty much the entire day except when running errands.
