Pet care experience

A Dog Walker Pet Services

Hello! I've been dog walking and pet sitting as a business for over 26 years. I have experience in caring for all sizes of dogs as well as all breeds and mixes. My specialty is puppies and older dogs. Giving medicines as well as detecting illnesses is a skill I developed from being a Respiratory Therapist prior to this. I used to show dogs in obedience as well as in the show ring. I love how special our pets are to us and I pass that love on to the animals that are in my care be they dogs, cats, horses or hamsters! As a house sitter I respect your privacy and rules and use the rule "pack in, pack out" so that you will return to a clean, comfortable home. I currently share a home with an English Golden Retriever puppy and 2 indoor cats. I am home full time and available to care for dogs from puppy stage to elderly care. Being present can help with separation anxiety or an overly active dog. My routine is based on the level of care your dog requires. For puppies we spend the day making trips outside every hour, if not more frequent, between playtime and for adult dogs as necessary. I have tough dog chew toys that the dogs can play with that are almost indestructible. My fenced yard ensures a safe environment outdoors to run and play in. My Rough Collie loves to encourage a good game of chase! I am constantly on watch to make sure all dogs are happy.

Marie is excellent with our very large lab! She communicates well and love that he is safe and happy when we are out of town.

Safety, trust & environment

My yard if fully fenced and the dogs are well supervised when they are outdoors. Inside, I use child gates to contain the dogs within my sight. All dogs eat separately, if that is a service that is needed. Fresh water is available at all times, indoor and outdoor.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day varies with the needs of your dog however I normally start out with a trip to the backyard for a bit of fun and an opportunity for your dog to relieve itself. Once back inside I have a variety of chew toys (very tough) they can play with or if there are other dogs continue to play together. A nap usually happens about mid morning for most dogs. The day divides up into indoor and outdoor activities. I do my best to return to you a happy, but tired, dog at the end of the day.

I try to cover this topic on "Meet and Geets " however I need to know if your dog is an escape artist, has separation anxiety, has ever bitten anyone as well as the usual questions about getting along with other dogs and cats and even children as I sometimes care for my grandkids. Any little quirks your dog has is always nice to know. It is important to give me set times you will drop off and pick up your dog. Please be prompt.
