Fenced-In Yard. Mid-Town location!!

Pet care experience

I LOVE doing this! I have two of the world's most adaptable (and convertible) greyhounds, have owned 5 of my own dog business (grooming, self-wash, and quality pet products), and am well-versed in dog (and cat) nutrition and behavior. Need a nail trim? I can do that as well! My dogs are so chilled out about the new ones coming over. Not had any fights or huge disagreements. Maybe a tussle over a favorite toy, but nothing the dogs don't work out in their own, natural way. One thing I think is important to mention is that this is a pretty low-energy household. If you would describe your dog as "high-energy", this may not be the BEST place for your pet. I just want everyone to be happy. I have a great, fenced backyard (all grass) with great shade. Conveniently located in mid-Lansing. Your dog is welcome to sleep on the couch, in his/her own bed, in MY bed, whatever you'd like. I can't wait to meet your friend! (Oh, for those who have asked, the dog in my profile pic is Banana, a rescue that I had briefly in Omaha. He found a forever home of his own. ) Why I love dog sitting I have photos of me getting kisses from dogs dating back to when I was less than a year old. I guess it just came naturally. I have always had dogs in my life. I have owned five stores, in Chicago and Omaha, catering to dogs from grooming and self wash to proper nutrition. I have located to Lansing from Denver via Boston (the latter location where I didn't have a yard and couldn't do this anymore), but am so happy to be able to help folks out again! About my yard I have a large, fenced yard. There are multiple trees providing ample shade whenever that might happen again. My experience administering medication Yes. I have had several senior dogs that required daily oral and sub-q medication. I am still working from home, mostly, and if I have to go into the office it is only for maybe four hours at a time The majority of attention goes to your dog. Mine are just tired of me at this point! I know that some dogs are so nervous at the beginning but I have found that they will always come around with extra petting.

Paul was wonderful with our dog, and with us! He clearly has a gift with animals. Our dog isn't used to hanging out with other dogs, but did well with his two beautiful greyhounds. Great communication while we were away, and understanding when our return was delayed a couple of hours. Hope to be able to use him again.

Information Paul R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about temperament and sleeping arrangements. Feeding schedules and poop schedules are also important along with favorite toys, outside games and scratchin spots! I have no breed preference; every dog comes with his own personality. They all have love to give in their own manner.

A typical day

Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will be allowed to sleep wherever s/he wishes, based on your own desires. Time I'll spend with your dog I come home every day at noon to let the dogs out. Your baby will be with my three dogs and more than likely never left longer than 5 hours max without a trip outside.
