When it comes to taking care of dogs I have been called "the dog whisperer" when previous anxious dogs spend time here and leave calmer and with continued manners being enforced. I have 2 Boston Terriers that are trained therapy dogs, so they are a big part of my zen-like dog sitting household. We have scheduled walk, play, nap and eating times. It's our experience that dogs on a schedule are less anxious and more open to new experiences! I have many references about the doggy transfermations we have seen in our home just by being with our 2 girls. I of course would adhere to your dogs special needs with medicine given, any dietary needs etc! Welcome to our peaceful home! See you soon!
