I've got great communication skills with animals, as well as their parents. Also a great respect and love for our furry friends. Everyone knows me as Auntie LB ( my husband is Uncle Joe). I have many clients who consider me as extended family. That's what makes being a pet host so special & dear to me. Also I have great respect and deep love for our furry friends. I've worked with children for over 25 years. Those important skills and the experience I've had apply to furry children as well. Patience and lots of affection is a bonus. My husband and I have raised 2 great children and now work at home and adore our own furry children who love having visitors/play dates. We've always had pets. Bogart, our Shih Tsu, lived for 18 and 1/2 years and Riley, our Poodle, lived 15 years. They were both raised with our kids. Champion, our Pug, is now 15 years old and going strong. Our furry house guests keep him busy and active. He keeps up very well with every guest/s and sleeps real well at night. Of course Harley, our Shih Tsu, is our baby who just turned 5 on Thanksgiving (2014). Both our fellas are well adjusted, friendly, cuddly and love to play, so we can guarantee a friendly & non-aggressive home we share with many many furry houseguests/ furry friends who become like cousins. Every visiting pup is screened ( meet n' greets are essential as it offers piece of mind to everyone). They are spoiled. So rest assured your furry child will be too. I guarantee that your furry child will be 100% safe (500 %) loved and provided for. I will keep contact with you throughout their stay and send (text) photos to you. We're an active family and enjoy many walks in our very dog friendly neighborhood. And playtime is constant. We have a security fenced backyard with a new dog run that we are very proud of. So your furry child will not only have freedom throughout our home, but also the freedom to be outdoors in a safe enclosed area. We are a very happy home full of love and affection. Our $40.00 rate is for overnight/24 hour cycle. Just an extra note: Please understand that house trained will make things easier on everyone. We want to maintain a positive environment. If you're furry child is a baby (a pup) there will be an addition charge of only $5.00 a day. Of course subject to change once baby reaches toddler into adulthood, as we'd love to grow with you. Disneyland is not the only Happiest place on earth. Muah! Auntie LB About this sitter: We're an active family and enjoy many walks in our very dog friendly neighborhood. And playtime is constant.
