Love dogs and walking them

I love dogs, any shape and size. When I was young I would always get rescue dogs and keep them in my home until I could get someone to adopt. I own two dogs but I've always had dogs in my house for 21 plus years. I've also gone to the shelters to play with the dogs for fun with friends. I feel like I would be a great candidate, I like to walk them, I can dog sit, I'm really good at making sure they do their doggy business and my dogs are also very friendly to other dogs. I have dog sat before, I can run with your dog and I can also handle medications, my phone is always on me so there is no problem with communicating plus I can update you with pictures and videos.

WARNING: Negligent Care & Insecure Fence Rating: 1/5 Stars We booked Raquel to watch our two dogs, Taddy and Sammy. Before the stay, we explicitly warned her that Taddy is an escape artist and needs a secure perimeter. Despite this warning, she left Taddy unattended in her yard. He escaped through a hole in her fence and was missing for over an hour. When we recovered him, he was severely dehydrated, distressed, and physically ill from the heat and exhaustion. We later discovered that the "secure yard" was full of holes and gaps that had been poorly patched with temporary barriers—a fact she did not disclose during the meet and greet. To make matters worse, the sitter attempted to shift blame to the dog and later my wife, and cited personal issues rather than taking professional accountability for the life-threatening situation she caused. We had to cancel our travel plans and incur significant financial loss due to her negligence. If you value your pet’s safety, do not board them here. The fence is not secure, and the oversight is nonexistent. We have reported this to Rover Trust & Safety and provided photographic evidence of the hazardous conditions.
