Hi! My name is Patricia and I truly love dogs. I have taken care of several, many whom I have strongly bonded with and have learned a great deal. Muffin and Nami, our own, mean the world to me. Your dog will be treated as if she/he were my own, and we shall both benefit from our time together. I will play catch and give lots of belly rubbing. We have many toys for them to play with. Special diets will be strictly adhered to, and delicious treats given as often as I see fit. I will follow your instructions precisely. But most of all, I will treat your furry friend with respect. I have patience with dogs and can tell when they need something. I am able to bathe them (for no extra cost!) and provide a safe environment for them. If your dog is reserved towards strangers or experiences separation anxiety, we will make sure to give them extra one on one attention to better connect with them. If your dog is more outgoing, Nami (neutered) will be waiting to play. I like to learn the dogs habits to better get to know them, and to make them feel comfortable and loved. I have a daughter who would also be taking care of your dog(s). My daughter Jazlynn has volunteered at local animal shelters and is also able to adequately care for dogs. *****Drop-off and pick-up times are from 8 A.M to 10 P.M. Please bring their food, poop bags, treats, and toys. If your dog is over 1 year old, but still has a high energy level, please make sure you have enough time for a meet and greet. We need to ensure the safety of our dog who is tiny. I recommend you authorize me to use the card on file you have with your dog’s veterinarian in case of an emergency. For meet and greets, I am available after 5pm during the week and all day on the weekends. Please fill out your dog’s profile before contacting to let us know if we would be a good fit for your dog. Thank you!******* Schedule: My daughter and I work from 9 to 5 on weekdays, but we both come home for lunch and to check on the dogs for an hour at different times, so your dog(s) won’t be left alone for more than 2-2.5 hours at a time. We don't work on the weekends. Safety & Environment: In the event my daughter and I both need to run errands, they are separated by gates and have their own hangout area, with access to their food and water bowls, etc. When we're there, they're free to roam about. My neighborhood is fairly quiet and great for walking around. I take my responsibility for your dog very seriously, so I don't take them anywhere off leash at all. The dogs sleep with me, in my daughter's bedroom, or in the living room (with whoever and wherever you and your dog feel most comfortable), either on my bed, their crate, or in one of the dog beds on the floor. You're also welcome to bring a dog bed of your own if you wish, if that's what they're most used to at home.
