Hello fellow dog lovers, I work from home, love animals, and have a full front and backyard. I have a well-trained, 8-month-old pure-bred German Shepherd Dog that I imported from Germany and a 5-year-old Pomeranian that is just the most adorable Pom you’ve ever seen! Both of my dogs are very gentle and well socialized. Both have never had any kind of contagious disease and are up-to-date on all vaccinations. (I also have a cat that is very social and plays well with dogs). Moreover, despite my many pets, I keep an extremely clean home. Because of the time on my hands and my lifetime of experience with dogs, I can well provide accommodation for dogs with special needs. I can also have smaller and larger dogs separated in different areas of the property, in case you have a smaller (or younger) dog that gets intimidated by bigger dogs. I love to help dogs get socialized, so if you do have a puppy, I know I could provide a great environment for him or her to get used to various dogs’ personalities and even learn to play with my friendly cat. I live in a peaceful and upper-scale area of Sherman Oaks – my neighbors are wonderful and mostly have dogs as well. My backyard is big enough for dogs to play extensively, while my front yard is also quite large and can be accessed from the back. I also have tons (maybe too many) dog toys and live near a beautiful, large park that I take my dogs to play regularly. I’ve used Rover before and realize how difficult it is to entrust your best friend to a stranger. My goal is to have your pet healthy and happy while promoting his or her training and socialization with other animals. I can communicate with you as much as you’d like while your dog stays with me, including sending regular pictures, videos, and updates. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! P.S. I have had dogs for most of my life and have volunteered at animal shelters in LA for the last 5-years. You’re trusting your best friend to a true animal lover!
