Dog eutopia w/ fenced in yard

First things, first. Why the long gap? I've been fostering dogs for 11 years and the last 3ish years has had some ups and down, including two very good bois being returned, and both needing some special care - one with anxiety, requiring patience and creativity; and one with reactivity. The last few years I have not taken new clients, focusing on my fosters, my animals, and friends dogs. I am happy to announce the pups are doing well in their respective homes, with the second being adopted in February. Woohoo. After the last adoption, I took some time to get my dog, Monti settled in to the new routine, and then decided to throw a kitten into the mix. Life finally seems settled, my last foster dog is doing amazing in his new home, and I am ready to take on a new client or two. I grew up around dogs, and continued my love of them into adulthood. I have had dobermans, and handled other working breads. I currently have a 3yo female Ridgeback who gets along with all dogs, even the grumpy ones. She is very calm with a goofy side, and seems to know what each dog needs from her. She will play if provoked but is fine with laying around as well. I also have a cat that has zero fear of dogs and likes to say hi and be part of the fun. He is definitely not dog savvy, and could get some dogs excited. I have room to seperate him if needed. As I stated above, I foster, and while energy is always different from one dog to the next, if they are dog friendly, I make sure to introduce them to new dogs slowly and properly. About the home: I have plenty of crate options in the home, as well as toys, dog beds, leashes, and other walking tools, so there will be limited supplies needed to be packed up for your pooch. I respect rules and training of owners. But I am also extremely good at spoiling them. While I am gone, I have an 11x9 'den' that is gated and houses the crates, but looks into the family room, and has a pet camera for viewing while I am gone. This space is a perfect dog space and used just for them. Beds, blankets, crates and toys are in the room providing a wonderful space for them to relax in while I am gone. About my yard Large lot with 5' fence. I am very active and would keep your dogs exercised, assuming they are active as well. I have easy access to Umstead if hikes/walks are allowed. Experience administering medication Yes - My dobie was on meds for 3.5 years - I know most tricks to get them to eat the meds. While I can handle shots, I'd rather not have to administer any to dogs that I am not familiar with, so a free drop in visit and discussion with owner would be required first. I am comfortable with eye drops, basic bandaging, etc. I have the resources to board multiple clients dogs at one time in my home, and reservations overlap. I will take the time to properly introduce all dogs to each other and monitor their interactions.

Gussie loved her time with Rachel! Our regular sitter moved prior to an upcoming trip and we were lucky to find Rachel after a few other sitters had backed out. Rachel was responsive and set up a meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and her/her fur babies. My husband met with Rachel since I was unable to attend due to work, but Rachel was overly accommodating offering to meet up a second time prior to Gussie’s stay to ensure I was comfortable too. Gussie stayed with Rachel for about a week and we received daily updates and photos, and if I had questions, Rachel was always quick to respond. She took her ok walks, played mental stimulation games and even brushed Gussie’s doodle coat out daily! Gussie hurt her paw while playing during her stay, at no fault of Rachel’s or anyone else’s. I mention this because we were so impressed with how Rachel handled the situation. She let us know immediately and made sure Gussie rested throughout the remainder of her stay to prevent agitation. She was very willing to take her to the vet, if needed (which it wasn’t as Gussie was fine), and kept us updated. We really appreciate Rachel and will be using her again soon!

Rachel is excellent, the care she provided was top notch. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior. I felt super comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care and her pupdates are the icing on the cake that allowed us to not worry one bit about how our baby was doing.

We don’t trust anyone but Rachel with our high energy dog. He enjoyed his stay as always, and came home happy, tired and content. This visit, he was finishing antibiotics and Rachel went above and beyond to administer meds and keep him healthy, we appreciate her care so much and look forward to his next visit.

Zeitplan

I work from home and I spoil the dogs throughout the day. Lots of yard time and couch naps while I am working and then walks and adventures in the evenings.

Sicherheit, Vertrauen & Umgebung

I have dog gates up throughout the house, use crates while I am gone, and set boundaries for new dogs. I introduce dogs slowly and properly. I feed dogs separately. And I keep an eye on energy levels ensuring dogs are in a comfortable state.

Ein typischer Tag

I am on a dead-end street for short leg streches, or I can take them into Umstead, assuming they don't mind a quick walk on the main street. The more active they can be, the more active the stay will be. I have a nice sized fenced in space, that is specifically for the dogs to run, chase, and play in. I try to correct digging, but other than that, I allow them to be goofy dogs in the yard. The space is for them! Your dog's sleeping arrangement If they are good with cats, they would be in the primary bedroom with me - on my bed or in a crate. If they are not good with cats, they may need to be crated in the dog only room. We can discuss the different scenarios during a meet and greet. Time I'll spend with your dog I work remotely during the week days, but I devote my non-working hours to be with the pups. They get plenty of activity in and out of the house. And I am easily distracted during the work day when pets are demanded or lunch walks are requested by the pups.

1) Would the pup want to eat my cat 2) Can I use a crate when I am gone 3) Is the pup an escape artist from crates, leashes/collars/harnesses, fences, doors, etc., Knowing these things allow me to gauge the type of pups I'd be offering to watch, and to ensure the safety of my crazy cat, as well as the safety of all the pups. All dogs must be current on state mandatory vaccinations (e.g. Rabies, etc.) and on flea/tick and HW preventative. With respect to vaccinations that are not state mandatory, please do your research and discuss with your vet. I sit multiple clients pups at a time, they may have access to standing water in the yard and Umstead, and I foster dogs, pulled from shelters or as strays.
