When it comes to caring for your furry friend, patience, kindness, calmness, and love are the types of care you can expect from me and my home. I'm a work-from-home pup and human momma, so your pet will not be alone when they visit. Most weekdays, my dog Sadie and I listen to jazz music with the windows open, feeling the breeze as I work in my office, with plenty of space for another furry friend to nap on the carpet or cozy dog bed. We take breaks to go on much-needed walks. When I'm not in my office working or taking a walk, I'm working on our deck so we all get in some Vitamin D. If needed or preferred, I can keep your dog crated. If you're seeking a pet-sitting service with me, please know that I understand your dog is in a new place, meeting new people and friends. There are lots of new smells and noises. I've been a lifelong pet owner and am a mother of two toddlers - so rest assured compassion and patience will be practiced as they're adjusting to a new routine and environment (and well after). During their time with me, they will know kindness... I may spoil them by giving them (approved!) treats and affection. My dog Sadie, who has Addison's Disease, also requires some additional care (and meds) as she ages. She gets fresh air about every two hours, and so will your loved one! If your pet needs medication administered or if there are specific symptoms I should look for regarding your dog's health while in my care, that should be no problem. Just let me know. Not only do I have experience with our current pet family member, Sadie, but I have cared (walking, feeding, and sitting) for my mother's Boxer, in-laws Collie/Husky mix, and brother's cat, with whom I was surprised my dog Sadie did so well. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once and Sadie (our elderly boxer mix) has done well with new friends and multiple dogs as well. In fact, she loves having the extra company. I also grew up with Rottweilers and Lhasa Apsos. I hope to provide the best care for your beloved dog and create a happy and healthy environment for them to thrive in when they are away from home.
