I enjoy making your dog happy with lots of walks, play and snuggle time while your away. Should you wish, I can send you daily texts/videos. My experience is mainly with small breed dogs, puppies, adult and senior care needs (Shih Tzus, mutt mixes, Frenchies, Terriers, Pugs, and Bulldogs). I grew up on a ranch so am comfortable being both friendly but firm with animals, utilizing positive reinforcement and redirection to elicit wanted behaviors. My husband and I are raising a balanced, friendly Boston Terrier (17 lb spayed female) who is E-collar trained and follows a routine schedule that we would have your dog mirror if they don’t arrive with their own scheduled needs. I am experienced feeding raw and/or gently home cooked meals. I take pet safety very seriously, knowing the signs of heat stroke and heat related illness prevention, winter safety having lived in New England, know dog CPR, do not take clients to off leash dog parks and give them a relaxing bath prior to returning home. They will be loved and pampered like our own pup. You will be required to leave an emergency contact for your dog, veterinary information, and list any allergies or behaviors that warrant attention. Proof of being current with recommended vaccinations required prior to our initial meet and booking confirmation. References of families I have dog sat for are available upon request. I had many repeat clients in Connecticut building a beautiful relationship with their dog and hope to do the same with yours. Learn more about our Boston Terrier on Instagram @Senorita_Binx My schedule is flexible as I work from home when not leading conservation themed yoga hikes or yoga retreats. I require an initial day play visit (no charge) so your dog can become familiar with my home, my dog, and I to his/her personality before an overnight stay. My bostie's schedule is one your dog would mirror if you do not provide a specific one for me to follow. 6 am: Pre-breakfast pee, dogs out of crate Breakfast - supervised living room lounging 7:15 am - 8 am: Morning walk Place / Calm state of mind time (30 min for my dog) Supervised living room/balcony lounging/outing if permitted by owner (ex: Target/Mall/Air Conditioned indoor dog-friendly space) 12 pm: Quick 5 minute mid-day pee break sticking to shaded grassy areas Supervised living room lounging, structured scent work + enrichment play time with indoor agility 5 pm: quick 5 minute pre-dinner pee break sticking to shaded grassy areas Dinner + living room lounging + Benebone chew time 7:30 - 8:15 pm: pre-bedtime elimination walk, dogs in crate for the night Please see schedule above. Your dog must be crate trained as I will not be able to supervise them when I leave for work or to run errands. Puppies + adopted dogs learning crate training are welcome as I have experience in crate training. We live in a second floor walk up apartment, no elevator, so this is not a good fit for dogs with mobility challenges. Please message me if your pet has special needs or weighs less than 20 lbs, I can probably accommodate by carrying them.
