Pet care experience

Our furkids have recently passed and we're looking to fill our time by caring for other's furkids. Our home has been dog proofed and my boyfriend and I had extensive experience with calm dogs as well as mischievous troublemakers. We love the companionship and security of having dogs around so until we're ready for another furkid, we would love to take care of your kids like our own. I work away from home 4 days a week, but my office is less than 4 miles from home. My boyfriend starts work later in the morning 10 am and I get home by 5pm every evening. Your baby will not go more than 7 hours without being walked. My last dog, an English Cocker Spaniel, who recently passed at the ripe old age of 12.5, was very sick the last year of his life and I had to administer medications and feed with an oral syringe. My dog who passed over a year ago, was a lab/mastiff mix who died of cancer. I've groomed both dogs since they were puppies so I have experience de-shedding and yes, even haircuts.

Norma and her husband, Scott, were a dream come true for me. My dear Nellie is a sweet, playful, affectionate dog. But she is also still a puppy (just about a year old), with various puppy foibles. In addition, she has a torn ACL (left back knee), so she has to be kept relatively quiet--which makes her even more energetic. I was apprehensive about leaving Nellie, too, since she was a rescue dog we had had only for two months, so there might be some separation anxiety--not to mention my own separation anxiety! But the very next day, we got a message from Norma about how well Nellie was doing, and how happy she was at Norma’s house. I could tell from Norma’s photos and messages that she and Scott saw more of Nellie's sweetness and affection than her “puppy behavior.” Norma even changed her work schedule to be able to spend more time with Nellie. I am so happy we, and Nellie, found them, and I will ask for their help whenever we have to be away.
