Advanced care taker specializing in dogs with over 20 years experience caring for, training, and breeding dogs. We currently have one dog in the home, a Rhodesian Ridgeback. We can offer as much attention as your pet requires - we fully understand the needs of our animals. Your pet will get much more attention here than if locked away in a kennel. Generally, our dogs and tenants have full unlimited range of the house. Though we do have a very large kennel/crate if night time crating is required. We have a smaller home, though it is roughly 1250 sqft, in the community so long walks occur at least twice daily (usually over 30 minutes each). We are a very active family and if your pet needs extra exercise we'd be happy to take him/her for runs if needed! We will provide your pet with the care, attention, and level of stimulation that you would at home - he/she will feel right at home here with us and not abandoned. We are about as boutique as it comes! We do not accept pets from multiple families and aren't looking to use pet sitting as a source of income. Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions! Why I love dog sitting I have been working with dogs most of my life. My family bred and raised stunning Labrador Retrievers for most of my life. About my yard We have a large yard, approximately half an acre, in the North Deering community fenced on two sides. If leashing is required that is perfectly acceptable. We are also very near the Portland Trails network and Quarry Run dog park.
