I love dogs with all my heart and I can't wait to become your dog's next best friend. Having grown up with dogs, I treasure their unconditional love, wagging tails and sweet kisses. I know what it's like to want the best for your pet while you are away and I can assure you that your dog(s) will be treated like a family member of my own Me and my husband currently have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever dog, Leo - we've had him since he was 8 weeks. He's a lovable goofball and the love of our lives. We enjoy hiking, swimming, eating out and basically involving him in most things we do. I believe mental stimulation is as important for a dog as physical exercise and if you choose, I would be happy to reinforce some commands and/or tricks for your pup, when he or she is here(fully treat-based positive reinforcement). You can tell me what our dog enjoys doing most and I can make sure the routine is maintained. My goal is to ensure that your furry baby has fun and feels loved, safe and comfortable. I'm at home most days hence my schedule is pretty flexible. Your dog can sleep on the bed with us to make them more comfy , or we can keep him off all furniture too, if that is what has been taught. Leo will also enjoy the company of a furry canine in the home - he is really friendly and loves to play with all dogs - every dog is his friend ! I will make sure you get loads of photo and video updates as that is what I expect whenever I board Leo with a sitter. I also take only 1 client at a time so your pup is sure to get loads of lovin' and attention. I understand how hard it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pup in your absence and I will go out of my way to care for your pup like it's my own. P.S. I require a meet & greet to ensure the safety of your pet as well as mine. If you have a last minute booking, we can work something out if you know your dog has no history with not playing well with other dogs. For boarding requests, I like to consider one night as a 24-hour period ( +/- few hours). If your pickup/drop-off timings exceed this significantly, I would request you to kindly consider booking an additional night or day care stay to account for the extra time.
