I am at home during the weekends. I work during weekdays for 8 hours, and come home every day at lunch to dog walk. My schedule can be slightly flexible, so just ask. I can also provide transportation if you need it. I can do drop-ins, but do not stay overnight.

Safety, trust & environment

If I board your dog at my apartment they will need a crate, but can roam in my living room when I am present. They can play and have fun, just request what kind of care you are looking for. You will need to provide food, dog leash/collar/harness. I can provide doggy bags, training pads, blankets. At your request, I can also provide you with a link to a webcam so you can check in with your pup. I also keep my apartment extremely clean, so there is no risk of your dog eating something they shouldn't. When I dog walk I always make sure your dog is securely harnessed with a leash or harness, and never let them back away from me to prevent them slipping out. I am very careful when entering/leaving my apartment, so there is no risk of them getting out; plus they will most likely be crated if I have to leave the apartment.

Before you arrive just give me a heads up. Also let me know what breed your dog is and if there are any special instructions you need from me (e.g. medicine, baths, etc.)

A typical day

I can walk your dog to the dog park, and let them play at my apartment. I have plenty of dog toys they can use to play with too.

Russell was great with Bishop. He is also very communicative, and he provided videos and pictures during his stay.
