Hi, I have cared for many homes, plants, dogs and cats. I am careful with locks and leashes and try to leave everything nicer than how I found it. I am trustworthy. I use “good dog” as a reward method to subtley get dogs to behave. I follow directions well. I have boarded dogs in my home while owners were away. I have watched dogs in their own houses and slept over with them. I have walked other’s dogs, sometimes several at a time. I am living the dream of hosting a doggie daycare so I am very excited to meet your pup or pups. I have lived on Capitol Hill for 43 years, sometimes am an artist and art instructor and have always loved all animals. Most importantly, we have a secure fenced back yard patio that is like a dog park for smaller dogs, with shaded area & water, indoor & outdoor toys, washable puppy pads if needed, blankets for couch or floor. Your pup will be cozy with space to play. We have a few crates on hand for time outs, sleeping and/or eating as necessary. Should you scroll through, I have an impossibly libelous first review, but Rover won’t remove it even tho there is ample evidence it is fake unless I l sue. I refuse to be bullied off this site/app because I love animals and most of you are super cool. At least its a funny story tho, right? I have plenty of time to care for your pet. If I am booked for a job outside the home my mom is always handy for the assist. Thanks, mom!
