I know how important it is to have a responsible pet sitter while away. Our family has often had the need to find a person or family we felt comfortable sitting our own pets from time to time. I want to provide peace of mind while you vacation or work away from home by updating you frequently on how your pet is doing. That has always made me more comfortable when I was away from home. We have two senior dogs in our home and understand the care needed for those who may need out more frequently or that have physical difficulties in their golden years. We have used the "Lift em up" harnesses for our own pets with physical issues late in life. I am comfortable providing that service if needed (and harness provided for your pet) for pets up to 65lbs. I have owned, cared for, or fostered in the area for dogs aged 5 weeks old until golden aged. I have experience with dogs, cats, and farm animals. I can give medication if needed on schedule (we frequently need this for our older crew), let your pet out regularly since I am a stay at home mom, and walk throughout our neighborhood or TLV park if this is part of your pets routine. We have 2 children in our home (6 and 11) who understand how to treat animals respectfully. They have always grown up with dogs, cats, cows, or chickens as part of the family. While they do love animals, they understand that all animals need some quiet time away from time to time and respect that. We are careful about the animals we allow to be around our kids and pets therefore we require dog/cat/kid friendly animals in our home. Please let me know if I can help you care for your dog while you need to be away from home.
