A Country Stay for Your Best Friend

I have enjoyed dogs my entire life and currently have a Catahoula mix named Apache, who was rescued as a puppy and came to live with me through a foster home. He is very friendly to people and other dogs. Five acres of pasture surrounds my house where we can play fetch, romp with each other and practice commands. The dogs are never in the pasture unsupervised, but I have a small fenced area where they can play safely. Truly, dogs usually want to be wherever I am, so we don't use the fenced yard very often. My house is dog friendly, and visitors will have the run of the house. I have worked through Rover for several years, took a break, and am now seeking reestablish with some of my former clients, and/or meet some new ones. I take care of my son's two German Shepherds each year when they are vacation, and many dogs have spent their lives or portions of their lives, with me, ranging in size from a Jack Russell, Max, my first "grand-dog", to a Great Dane, Big Puppy. These include a very special "drop-off" dog, who just appeared one day, afraid of her shadow and obviously abused, stayed with me for 16 years before saying her final goodby, and left an indelible impression on my soul. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs all my life, and almost always have had one living with me. They are the best companions I have found, and help to make a house a home. Meet my pets Currently just my 13-year-old buddy, Apache. About my yard There is a small fenced backyard, and five acres of alpaca-fenced (hot wire) pasture. My house is well off the road and dogs, including my own, are never outside unsupervised. My experience administering medication. Yes, oral medication. My dog, Apache, gets a monthly injection for arthritis.

We were concerned about leaving our little girl with a sitter for a long trip; however, Peggie was fantastic. She took great care of our girl exceeded all of our expectations. We had a lot of peace of mind during our trip. Highly recommended.

Peggie was so great with our Charlie! Our daughter has a very hard time being separated from her, but Peggie did a great job at keeping in contact and making sure we knew Charlie was happy and healthy. It was a huge relief to have her in such good hands when we couldn't take her with us on our trip.

Peggie was a wonderful dog sitter, a delight to meet and visit with, and someone to be very trusted with our canine friends. My highest recommendation to anyone considering her service!!!

My dog stayed with Peggie over a long weekend and she had such a good time. Peggie is exactly who you hope for when you need to board your dog. She had great communication, my dog seemed right at home when I picked her up and she had tons of active time. So thankful for Peggie and how she took care of my dog!

Schedule

I am retired, very active and would welcome a companion on my walks. My old guy can't keep up any more due to arthritis, so we only take mini walks together.

Pets

A typical day

We go for walks, and adjust to what comes up on those adventures, sometimes fetching a ball, sometimes just sniffing out the new smells. Walks can be whatever my visitor is comfortable with. Apache sometimes just makes it around the pasture, but I can adjust to our visitor's needs. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Apache sleeps in my room. Most visitors want to join us, but if you feel your dog would be more comfortable somewhere else, we can put his bed or crate wherever you feel it would be best. Most of my house is carpeted and comfy for naps. Time I'll spend with your dog I am retired, and have plenty of time for dog walking or playing fetch, or whatever needs my visitors have.

All breeds are welcome. Because I have my own dog, I can only take dogs who get along with others. Any special needs? Can he/she have treats? Table scraps? Bones? What medications must be administered? Will he go potty while on leash? How long can he go at night without a bathroom break? In general, what can you recommend so that I can make the visit comfortable for him/her?
