I have a clean and dog-friendly Encinitas home with a nice big green yard to play in. The yard is fully fenced and secure. As a bonus, I also have a canine friend for yours to play with! My dog's name is Benjamin and he is a sweet nine year old yellow lab that doesn't mind sharing our home. He is happy boy that gets along great with every dog he meets. If your dog is older and would like to be left alone, he is respectful of that, but if your dog likes to play, he is good with that too! The dogs I have hosted love it here and their owners have said they find my home to be an ideal place for their dogs to stay while they are away. I work from home so I am here most of the day. If I go out, it is usually only for an hour or so to run an errand and I have a dog lover roommate who is happy to help out! I truly love dogs and am happiest when I am surrounded by them. I promise to give your dog lots of love and attention while your dog is in my care. Your dog's comfort, safety and happiness is my highest priority. Other highlights of my home: -I buy purified water so your pet will always have access to the purest fresh water. -We leave our backdoor open to the patio during the day so your pups will be able to go lay in the sun or potty as often as they like. -We usually have movie nights in the evenings where we bring the dog beds into the living room, creating a cozy sleepover atmosphere for our four legged guests. It's a good transition to bedtime. -For the safety of my dog and yours, I do not use any pesticides or herbicides on my property. A lot of dogs like to lay on and nibble on my grass so I wouldn't want to spray anything on it that could harm them. -I also use only safe and non-toxic cleaning products inside my home. -Parking is easy and always available right in my private driveway. I offer free initial meet and greet so we can see if this would be a good fit for you and your pet(s). Send me a message and I will respond to you as quickly as I can. I look forward to hearing from you. Warmly, Naomi About this sitter: Hi, If you are looking for someone to take care and love your pets while you are at work or away on vacation, I am happy to help! I am the mother to a 9 year old year old labrador retriever and have over 10 years of experience working with animals. I am fully licensed, bonded, and insured. You can have the peace of mind knowing that your pets are being cared for by someone reliable and experienced. I will care for your pets like they are my own and can send you updates and photos daily. I offer pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight sitting. My rates are very affordable because I only service Encinitas and Cardiff so don't have long travel times and this also allows me to spend more time with your pets! I have volunteered at animal shelters where I had the opportunity to work with rescued animals. Few things bring me greater joy than spending time caring for animals. I have owned labrador retrievers, bulldogs, pugs, and many mixed breed dogs in my life as well as tortoises, fish, cats, parakeets, you name it!
