Hey there! I'm a 31-year old dog lover that moved to California eight years ago. My husband and I dog-sit in our Hollywood apartment, however I am willing to travel and take care of your pets at home for a convenient and hassle-free experience. My husband currently works from home full-time and helps me take care of our guests’ dogs. He's able to provide potty breaks every few hours. I have a resident pup named Jackson, a 2 year old, neutered, 45lb. Scotch Collie. He likes being around all breeds and enjoys the company. He likes to play with toys and lounge on pillows. They both adjust quickly to guest dogs. I often like to take him to Runyon Canyon for them to socialize and exercise. I will accept last minute bookings and dogs that require special dietary or medical needs. Unfortunately, I'm unable to take care of dogs that aren't neutered or spayed, dogs that experience separation anxiety by barking, whining, or chewing, or dogs that use potty pads. It's important to me that your dog has a wonderful stay, and that you feel comfortable leaving your dog in my care. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. Why I love dog sitting: When I was a child, my family decided to adopt a Labrador puppy and ever since then I became a dog lover. I helped train and raise it with them. As I got older, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter for a few years and gained experience taking care of all breeds. Eight years ago, my fiancé and I adopted our dog, Buddy. We've been so blessed to have him. In November 2014, I started using Rover and have since cared for many dogs in the following months. I hope I get the chance to take care of yours! Meet Jackson: Jackson is our most recent addition to the family, our goofy year old Scotch Collie. He loves all animals and enjoys playing with his toys. He's also neutered and up to date on all his shots. About my yard: I do not have my own yard, however there is a patio behind my apartment for relaxing. I like to take my dog to Runyon Canyon. My experience administering medication: My dog used to take liquid medication for a hormonal imbalance and a pill for a thyroid condition. I am comfortable administering oral medication, however I don't think I would be able to do injections. What to bring: Please bring anything and everything that will make your pup's stay the most comfortable. You are welcome to bring your dog's bed, toys, doggy bags, treats, and some extra food (too much is better than not enough!).
