I'm a stay-at-home dad who has time to give lots of attention and affection to your four-legged family member(s)! We do not have a dog now, but do making plenty of trips to the SPCA to play with some deserving pups! There will be plenty of opportunities for exercise and outside time as we are a very active family; and my two daughters, ages 10 and 6, adore and love to play with all dogs! Why I Love Dog Sitting: Growing up, my family always had a dog; terriers, labs, spaniels, and even a St. Bernard. As a kid, my most memorable was a Springer Spaniel named Bo; he taught me that as long as 'I didn't give up on the dog, the dog would never give up on me!' I gave Bo a lot of my time and attention and could count on him being always by my side. Our most recent dog, "Minnesota," a Boston Terrier, was very smart and had loads of personality. It was with her I discovered that I could make great new friends by meeting fellow dog lovers at the (dog) park and during puppy playgroups! ‘Sota was very much a part of our family and was never left at a kennel; she either came with us or was left with a trusted friend. When you are unable to take your dog with you, I hope I can become your new trusted friend! About My Yard: My backyard is completely surrounded by a fence with varying heights of 4 to 6 feet. Ground cover is a combination of grass, and mulch (hardwood & rubber). Administering Medication: I have no problem administering medication to your dog, whether oral or injection. I've hidden medication in treats and peanut butter in the past to get my dog to swallow it, please let me know what works best for your pup!
