Going on vacation? So is your dog! We try to make it a fun experience for your pup coming to our home while you're away as we know it can be stressful on them! As the owner/President of a local dog rescue, I know, too well, how dogs can be, coming in to a strange home. We try to make their time with us as fun/enjoyable as possible. Having a dog rescue and fostering dogs helps me understand several different breeds, behaviors and temperaments. Your dog would have free reign of our home (unless you had other instructions such as crating), a fully fenced in back yard and my two dogs (and 3 kids) to play with while here! About this sitter: Being a stay at home mom, gives me flexible hours to spend time with your dog while staying at mine. It also allows time for me to come to your home and take care of your pets! I am able to feed, walk, play, potty and even give medications if needed! Owning a dog rescue has given me the opportunity to know many breeds and their temperaments and personalities! I am patient with dogs (even bad habits) and would work with them as needed! I would love to give your dog that break from their day of 'lounging around' while you are away! I have been dog sitting for over 10 years and have owned a dog rescue since 2008 (fostering). I have dog sat dogs in my own home from an overnight to a stay of 6 weeks long. I also am able to travel to homes to let dogs outside for potty breaks, exercise, feedings, etc.. Why I love dog sitting I have owned dogs all my life. Our family has always had 2-3 dogs at a time to love! Meet my pets I have 2 dogs of my own. About my yard We have a nice, fully grassed backyard with a 6' fence. We also have a deck attached to the house where my dogs enjoy sunbathing! My experience administering medication yes. I am able to give pills orally or liquid medication orally or even shots if necessary.
