Pet care experience

Big Breeds Welcome! - Bayview

No kids or pets of my own and a big Jeep means my outdoorsy lifestyle is open and flexible for your fur babies. I'm experienced with dogs from all walks of life, from your social butterflies to your shy guys, your runners fetchers swimmers and wrestlers, you name it, I'm down for it. I have calm and confident experience with reactive dogs and big breeds especially.

Safety, trust & environment

I live on the second floor with access to a fenced in backyard. Hardwood floors in home. No kids or other pets of my own. I do have houseplants if your dog is sensitive to soils, fungus, or has a history of plant eating. Crating is an option I'm comfortable with if that's what helps your furry friend feel safe, though my ideal set up is to share my whole space and enriching lifestyle with your pup, or to visit them in their home where they're already comfortable. I'm mobile with the Jeep as well, so we don't have to stick to my neighborhood if your dog is reactive and needs some extra space.

Sam has watched my dog for varying lengths of time, including during the day, overnight, and up to 2 and a half weeks. Each time, I know that he is well taken care of and spoiled. They know all about his quirks and needs just as much as we do. They are always very communicative if there is an issue with him or even just to send updates on how he is doing. Sam makes sure that he is physically and mentally taken care of by taking him on walks, playing with him, and ensuring that he is getting the proper amount of food and supplements. Sam is the only person that we have trusted to watch him when we go away for long trips abroad because they are so good with him! There is no one else we would recommend more.

Schedule

I'm a part time barista, working mostly evenings, so morning and mid-day walks work best for me. I am available for night walks after work as well, if that works for your schedule. Weekend boarding is best with advance notice, as I occasionally pick up Friday and Saturday shifts at the coffee shop.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should know about, any dietary routines, or any medications to take. I'm flexible with disabled dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs that do not recall, provided I know ahead of time. My only requirement is that your dog is fully potty trained.
