(Subject to change during Covid shelter in place) I offer boarding for dogs under about 20 pounds. I offer visits of all size dogs, cats, and some exotic animals, to your home and potty break walks. I have been a volunteer dog trainer, behavior helpline volunteer, kennel and foster volunteer. I have enjoyed pets all my life. I teach dogs to have good manners indoors because I believe pets are part of the family. I do have a medium size back yard and large dog run for exercise. I have teenage children that have been raised to respect animals. My furry kids include a 3 year old King Charles Spaniel, a 4 year old terrier, and one cat. About this sitter: Hi! I am a long time animal lover. I have spent many years volunteering for various rescues and shelters. Currently I foster both dogs and cats occasionally for area rescues. I taught dog obedience for two years, and also worked on an animal behavior helpline. I would love to help the families of furry friends feel confident that their critters are in good hands while they are away. Why I love dog sitting I've always had dogs in my life. I helped my parents train their dogs for competition obedience. Later I had dogs of my own. I became a volunteer obedience trainer, groomer, and dog walker/socializer for animals in local animal shelters. I have also been a foster for area rescues for the last 2 years. I have been a pet sitter for at least 10 years. About my yard I have a fenced back yard and a large dog run. The yard is grassy, and the dog run is gravel and bark chips. I have a great neighborhood for walks, and a dog park nearby if that is wanted by the client.
