Pets are family❤️

Hello! Ever since I can remember I have loved dogs and they have always been a part of my life! A few years ago I began to work from home, and I thought that it would be the perfect time to begin to foster and help dogs in need. I started fostering various dogs with SNIPSA(a dog/cat rescue organization) from timid adult dogs to playful puppies to litters of puppies(8+pups at a time), and I really enjoyed it! Now over a year later, I have hosted over 200 different dogs! I would love to take care of your fur babies and pamper them while you are away! I am home all day, so they will get lots of attention and potty breaks as frequently as needed. I also have two daughters who are 18 and 20 years old, who love dogs and will take the pups on multiple walks daily as well as play with them and love on them. While your fur babies are in my care I will treat them like my own and allow them access to the whole house and yard. Our yard is fully fenced in. I will also send lots of pictures daily and keep you updated on how they are doing. We have one dog who is a neutered 6 year old Standard Poodle named Shipley. He is very sweet and easy going. Please let me know if you have any questions, thanks for looking!

Amaya and Milena did drop in visits for our 3 dogs for 5 days. They did an amazing job and cared for our pups like they were their own. They took amazing pictures and we're very communicative and followed all of the instructions perfectly. We highly recommend them if you need someone to care for your pups while you are gone!

A typical day

On a typical day I usually chill with the pups at home, and my daughters play with them and take them on walks. Our dog, Hans, is very funny in the way that if he feels that his walk hasn’t been long enough he will refuse to go back in the house, but when he does feel that his walk was long enough, he walks back in the house with no problem!

Please Let me know if your dog is potty trained or not, and how he/she gets along with other dogs. I would also love to know more about his/her personality, and anything else that you think I should know!
