Please provide me detailed information on special need dogs. I love caring for the older dogs. Puppies are very close to my heart. House is puppy proof.

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.

Pet care experience

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.
