Hello! Guten Tag! 😊 Thank you for taking the time to read MY profile! I joined Rover in 2015 and have watched over 1.800 dogs since then. I feel blessed to be able to have turned my passion for dogs into a full-time job. I grew up in the south of Germany and my first job was being a dog walker. Being out in nature with a dog is great! I grew up doing riding our bikes on vacations and sleeping over on farms which I truly enjoyed. I worked in animal shelters and in a dog boarding and training facility. My family of 6 live close to the mountains in Frederick, Md. We have a large fenced in yard that's decided into 2 sides. One for my dogs and one for dogs that I care for. We have a pack of small dogs ;-) a Chihuahua (Herkules), 3 Chinese Crested (Teddy, Tina and Nico), a Cavapom and a mini Aussiedoodle. My dogs get along well with gentle big dogs and most friendly small dogs. My husband and I both stay home and we homeschool some of my children. My husband used to foster dogs and grew up with dogs too. I used to work at the doggie daycare at "Sit means Sit" in Frederick (dog boarding and training company). I met all kind of different dog breeds and learned a lot more about dog behavior and their body language. I would love to take care of your dog(s). Your dog will get lots of playtime. My older boys enjoy spending time with dogs too if they are kid friendly. I will feed your dog with your provided dog food and do my best to make him feel comfortable while he is staying with me. I can give medicine or flea protection if your dog is with me during the time when he will need it again. I do require dogs to be on flea/ tick protection and they need to be dewormed regularly. I do not watch people aggressive dogs or dogs with high anxiety issues. It is also best if your dog is used to being crated at times as we use dens in our dog building. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and getting to know your four-legged friend. Promo code for "First time" Rover users: Ask me for a promo code to get 20$ off your first stay. I always make sure I only let dogs out together that get along and have small dogs out separate or on the other yard side with my dogs. If your dog is not social with other dogs then he can be let out alone too. Please let me know! I offer boarding and daycare every day. Earliest drop off is 7am. Even though I have had exceptions with earlier drop offs. Latest pick up is 8pm. I put my kids to bed around 7-8pm so pick up anytime before that time is best for us to avoid them waking back up from barking dogs.
