I love dogs, dog dad of 4!
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of dogs since I could remember! All my pups I ever had have been home trained by myself utilizing the shaping method and currently am a dog dad of 3. 1 60lb Border Collie Mix and her two baby boys Crème and Axel who are both over 70lbs. I have experience with breeds up and past 100lbs. Shadow my border collie is the profile picture! I have a pretty flexible schedule between college and my clinic visits. I am open to discuss times and I have no problem with late nights or early mornings! It is determined weekly ultimately which is why I allow cancellations all the way up to a day in advance as I understand more than anyone life happens. I usually have them under constant watch. Especially my boys as they are only a year and have tendencies to get into things. That being said I am extra attentive when sitting others dogs in either my household or their own as I have no idea what can happen. I ask the owner for any tips and cue’s, understand potty times and feeding times are scheduled and should be respected, accidents need to be cleaned up immediately to avoid health issues for the pet, myself, and the home.

I have a fully fenced yard and always supervise any and all outside play! I ensure your fur babies are safe and play nice together! When walking I avoid other dogs and people especially if I am uncertain of behaviors or the dog is reactive!
Information Mikedamarine C. would like to know about your pet
Preferably if your pet has any special needs, requirements, or useful information to ensure a very successful time sitting. Usual feeding and walking times are always helpful as a break in the habit can result in unwanted accidents. Parents often don’t have set times but rough estimates such as Early Morning and Early Evening etc. How is the dogs temperament to other dogs and humans so I know appropriate walking procedures, what to avoid, and how to provide comfort.
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs to the dog park if it is close by and your pet has had experience and your blessing to do so. If unable to attend dog parks I usually go outside and enjoy a nice long walk with them and let them get some sunshine. When home I actively play with dogs on the regular as a dad of 3 pups and have many ways to keep them stimulated in an unusual environment which is me watching them. Work on tricks they already know, maybe teach them something new if I can haha!
