Dogs- Love, Best Friend &Companions

I have always had a dog as a pet and the dogs who have passed are still very much alive in my memories. They are an invaluable dispensary of love. I currently have 2 dogs of various ages that love attention and love their daily walks. Food, Snacks, Walks, Snuggles, what can be better? I have flexible hours and can work with your schedule. Contact me for details at anytime Boarding is always a great option. I am a school teacher during the year and am off in the summers. That currently means lots of attention and flexible outside time for your pets. :) I have a fenced yard with lots of space. My dogs love to run in the yard and play. I have big water bowls for the dogs to be able to stay hydrated and plenty of snacks available at the owners requests. I also have 3 different dog beds around the house that the dogs can lay in at their own convenience and comfort.

This was my first time using Mellisa and she kept me updated on Jax. She was also very nice and friendly.

Schedule

During the school year I am a teacher. Until September I am taking time off to give my family and my dogs the extra time that they prefer. Currently our dogs go for about a 30-40 minute walk everyday. My son is 11 and is the main reason we had 4 dogs of our own at one time. He loves to spilling them with cuddles and run outside with them.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a modest sized fenced in yard and currently two of my own lovable dogs. I always have dog food available and dog treats but am willing to follow any and all of the dog owners instructions. I also tend to use cleaning supplies that are non toxic, kid and pet friendly.

Pets

A typical day

We will run outside and play. Exploration of the parks and neighborhood is very ideal. Brushing time and petting time will help to stimulate relaxation to balance out the energetic days.
