I work from home and can easily care for your dog as if it were my own. I give them lots of attention, playtime, walks, etc. and generally treat them like the special companions they are. I love to "talk dog". No behavior or detail is too small to chat with you about. The more I know, the better I can care for your dog. I also know what it's like to try to find a good place to leave your dog--especially on short notice--that is not a doggie hotel. I am conveniently located off Woodside Road (84) in Redwood City half way between 280 and 101. It's a peaceful, residential neighborhood and I have a good size yard both front and back. The entire property is fenced. About this sitter: I am a work at home person so, having dogs around lends itself well to my situation. Until recently, I have never been without a canine companion in my life. I'm not quite ready to have a new buddy but, I'm getting there. I took the long way home so to speak. After being gone for 40 years, I returned to my childhood home. That in and of itself is amazing to me but, I'm back now and enjoying every minute of it. I know all my neighbors and have found a real sense of community here. This area has so much to offer. I had forgotten how great it is. Lucky dogs! Why I love dog sitting It all started many years ago with a black poodle named "Hippie". I know, I know. We tried other names but nothing stuck except. . . Hippie. Despite the name he was a very smart dog who could jump hip high. Then there was Yogi, Cass, Daisy, Fluffy, etc. I raised a couple of them from puppies and trained (or rather re-trained) my adult rescue dogs. Meet my pets I have no other pets at this time. About my yard My entire property is fenced. The front has a big, bouncy lawn (especially if your dog is little they tend to hop through it) and the back yard is just land with a couple of fruit trees and a dog run. My experience administering medication At one time or another I have administered pills for all my dogs.
