Pup Paradise Found

I work from home so you can take comfort in knowing that your dog will get rubs, pets, walks, and outside time all day long! My yard is fenced in. Me and Otis enjoy taking field trips to nearby Lake Kegonsa State Park, Viking Dog Park, or the Glacier Drumlin Trail on our morning adventure. Otis is a sweet senior dog that will make a great friend to your pooch. He shares his toys with others easily and is not food aggressive. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and will make sure your pup is spoiled and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also be sure to send you daily updates and pictures so you can see all of the fun we’re having together! I also have a cat who loves dogs. Please know that I only accept dogs that are good with cats and are mellow, low energy, due to Otis’ age. Dogs 3 and under or their behavior unknown around cats would be better off with another sitter.

Pets

A typical day

Me and Otis go for an adventure each morning: typically a nearby park for a hike or the dog park. We also like to go for an evening walk each day. In between, he enjoys naps, belly rubs, playing with toys, and chewing on bones.

Dogs that have been around cats and are ok around cats are a must. Dogs that are mellow and a bit older are also a must since Otis is now 12. While I am home all day, dogs who can be in their crate for a short period of time if I need to run an errand tend to do best with our lifestyle. I also would like to know about their eating habits and if they are counter surfers :)
