About Me: I have been a dog lover all my life. I come from a long line of folks who treat their pets like family members; when when I am with your dog, they will receive the same care and attention that I've always given my own pets (ie. I won't be staring at my phone while we go for walks or outings). I like to really engage with the dogs I care for and build a trusting relationship with them, even if we're only together for a day or two. I frequently watch my friends' and neighbors’ dogs when their humans are out of town. We go for walks together and hang out at local parks where we can run around and play fetch. We also enjoy snuggling up at home with a good chew toy and a fluffy blanket. I have cared for dogs of every size, shape, and age and I love them all! I am happy to accommodate the needs of any canine friend. For the comfort and safety of all involved, I do have a few requirements: - Meet & Greet prior to any daytime or overnight stay (No Exceptions)* - All stays must be fully booked and confirmed prior to arrival - Please provide all necessary items including leash and collar or harness, favorite toy, etc. - Dogs must be picked up on the date originally agreed upon. *The Meet & Greet will give you and your pup a chance to confirm that I am a good fit. This is also a great way for us to ensure we are on the same page concerning your dog's needs so that everyone is as comfortable as possible going into the stay. If your pup feels safest with their crate available, please let me know what your crate routines and preferences are so I can maintain their expectations.
