Pet care experience

Your Fur-Baby's New Best Friend!

I have ALWAYS had various pets and farm animals. I have cared for hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, pigs, chickens, goats and horses. I guess you could say, I am a definite animal lover. I have trained a handful of dogs in obedience training and successfully trained multiple puppies to be crate trained and potty trained while assisting my (now grown) daughter with her 4-H dog projects. I do have a cat, but she has been around dogs quite a bit and is well socialized. I live in an apartment, so small and medium sized dogs are best if you need boarding or doggy day care. I find that large working dogs do not like being in small spaces very long, even if they are provided several walks a day. I am available for dog walking, drop in visits to care for your fur-kids while you are out of town, or boarding at my place. Whatever your needs are, I have got you covered!

Schedule

I work full-time from home so I can work around your dogs schedule when it comes to boarding at my house. However, if you need me to do drop and visit, I can usually only do them early morning before eight, or after 5 PM. If you happen to be in my neighborhood, I could probably make a quick trip around noon.

Safety, trust & environment

If our dogs and/or cats get along fine I don't mind having them out of their crate in the house as well as in the yard. My older mother lives at home with me since I am her caregiver, so if you have a high energy large dog he/she would be limited to my office or my bedroom for in-the-house playtime if they want to be out of their crate. I am flexible with care instructions as I know each pet is an individual with their own needs. When we text about care, we can discuss what you would like.

Pets

A typical day

If you have a dog, I would be happy to provide playtime indoors or outdoors. If you have a cat, I would be sure to love on them as much as they need. I would even walk your cat if that is something your cat is used to. :-)

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or fears. If possible, I would like your pet to be up-to-date on vaccinations, but if they are not, I am still willing to take them, but they just may not be able to be complete integrated with my pets at home.
