PAWty house - large fenced yard

Pet care experience

3.5 years ago, my wife brought a small, beautiful, stubborn English Bulldog into our lives. Fortunately my career allows me to stay at home full time and provide the care and attention such a special breed requires! Bulldogs need a special kind of care and I have researched dietary restrictions, extreme weather care instructions, grooming routines. proper socialization, obedience training techniques for Bulldogs... you name it. Phoebe is a happy, healthy, and loving little girl. Nothing compares to the joy it gives me when her little wrinkly face smiles at me. Taking care of Phoebe made it easier to welcome a new pup into our home this year, Milo! Milo is a Lab mix with a lot of energy. Phoebe is much happier just lying on the couch and Milo, of course, wants to explore. I have gained experience dealing with dogs with different personalities and I can provide each of them with the proper exercise, and affection. I promise to take care of your family member, the same way I take care of mine. Your special one will go home happy, properly exercised, and mentally stimulated.

Information Rafael V. would like to know about your pet

Health concerns, dietary restrictions, special commands (sit, stay, etc...) Any socialization restrictions? (Some dogs like to be alone and that's perfectly fine! I'm happy to drop in and care for them on their environment).

A typical day

With your permission, your dog can enjoy a number of locations. I am a soccer player, so if your dog enjoys playing with a ball, you can expect them to practice their skills just in time for the World Cup. If your dog enjoys sitting on the couch and just watching TV, we can happily do that as well. Communication is key! let me know how to care for them and I will go above and beyond to meet your expectations.
