If the dog is food aggressive I feed them separately. I let some of my dogs sleep with me. Usually my regular clients that have been staying with me for years. Some like to stay downstairs. And some even like to stay in their crates. I let them stay on the furniture I have a very dog friendly home.

Information Lynn R. would like to know about your pet

I need to know that your dog is house broken and/or crate trained. Will not destroy furniture. Cannot be agressive towards other dogs. Cannot be food aggressive too.

A typical day

I will take your dog out for three walks and I can take them to the dog run as well. Usually there are no dogs there. So they are free to run around. But of course in the terrible heat the walks are quick and we stay inside. The fun activity they will have will be playing with my Yellow Lab, Atticus. He just loves all dogs and just loves to play.

Pet care experience

I have always been a dog lover. Both my parents had dogs growing up. So I get my love of dogs from them. They will be treated with love and respect. My furniture was specifically bought for my dogs to use it. I lived In Manhattan before moving to Charleston, so it was imperative for my dog to be able to use all of the house. The dogs staying with me, will be able to lounge around on my furniture and bed as well. Or if you have a special bed for them, that is fine. They love playing with my Yellow Lab, Atticus. He is so sweet and gets along with any dog. Small or large. Loves them all. I am always home. I am always available. My times are very flexible. Your dog will never be alone, unless I have an errand to do. And of course if I go out to dinner time to time:) I have taken care of friend's dogs in the past because they knew they could trust me. They also know how dedicated I am, as my last dog had cancer and I did everything I could to save her. I was able to keep her alive for a year with treatments. She did not suffer. The doctors gave me directions, which I followed and we were able to give her a year. I take care of both young and older dogs. Some need meds. No problem. And I’m here if there is an emergency. I am extremely dependable. I just bought a new home in Ravenel that is 10 minutes on 17 from the Limehouse Connector.A nice three bedroom villa with a great backyard that will be fenced in for your dog to play around in. My regular clients have followed me when I sold my home on Johns Island to West Ashley while I was renting. Now they are booking with me at my new home. They have been with me for many years. Their dogs are like family to us.
