Pet care experience

Move over for Rover 🐾❤️

I’ve been around dogs all my life. My parents are professional dog handlers in Southern California. Growing up I participated in Jr showmanship and was a dog handlers assistant for several years. As I got older I became a dog owner myself and have never lived in a house without a dog or two. 😂❤️🐾 lots of experience with dogs and the different personalities and needs that they each have. I don’t panic under stress and or excitement when it comes to dogs. I’ve delivered over 150 puppies over the years. I understand the importance of having a secure place for fur babies. My house/yard has been laid out to provide a safe healthy environment. Rest assured that they will not get out .So many times a hear on social media that they were with the dog sitter when they got out. We take extra precautions when we have guests.

As always, Melodie was great and Butter had a great time. It’s reassuring that our family can leave him in such good hands!

Melodie took great care of our dogs for a few nights stay. She sent updates with photos and they had wagging tails when we picked them up. They had a great doggie vacay.

A typical day

I start my day with taking the dogs for a walk and getting everybody fed or walked around. We then come back for a little rest or nap time then I work on my computer. Around noon depending on weather I will take them on a quick walk for restroom relief We then play around with toys ,chews ,balls We eat earlier in the day. If time allowed we have a night time hangout in the backyard.
