My husband Eric (who is a Rover sitter as well) and I are certified Fear Free Pet Sitters. We love dogs and will treat yours as our own "kids" while they are in our care. In fact, many families who trust us with their furry family members come back to wonder who really got the luxury vacation (....clearly the dog, of course...). If you are seeking drop-ins or dog walking, please visit my husband Eric's Rover profile (https://www.rover.com/sit/ericg16925). We currently have three dogs - Deogee, Luna, and Smokie. They love to play with their doggie friends! In addition, I grew up with large dogs - chow/retriever mix, 2 greyhounds, and a Lab/Great Dane mix- and also took care of my family friends' dogs when they needed daycare, boarding, or helping hand in training. I personally trained Denver, my lab/great Dane mix, and all three of our current dogs. The Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification Program is a course reviewed by the PSI (Pet Sitters International) and NAPPS (National Association of Professional Pet Sitters) that aims to equip pet sitters with a scientifically sound knowledge base in animal body language, dog walking, behavior and training basics, enrichment, home life, travel, administering medications, and more. We renew our certification every year, and also participate in professional development throughout the year to keep up our knowledge. The Fear Free Mission Statement is to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the people who care for them. In our home, we take the Fear Free Mission Statement to heart. We do not use fear based equipment and aim to always minimize your pet's fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS).
