I have five years experience caring for dogs of all ages, administering meds if needed, calming anxious animals, and giving all the belly rubs necessary. Feedback from reoccurring dog sitting customers is that their dogs are always very excited to visit me, know me by name, and are blissfully tired upon their return to their respective homes. I am an active person that does not go a day without doing some activity with my dogs (walk/hike/dog park). I will stick to your routine and rules, and care for your dog like family. Currently work from home. During the week I usually walk the dogs around 10-11 AM and again in the evenings if it is nice outside. Weekend activities vary from dog parks to hiking (if your pet is able). I have a dog door, and most dogs learn pretty quickly how to use it if they never have. However I am very patient with younger dogs that are still potty training or older ones that need special attention and ensure I take them out often to go to the bathroom if they need that routine. In my home, I get up around 7:30 and feed them. We walk around 10-11 each day and then dinner between 5:30 and 6. My animals have freedom to roam and have a dog door to go outside whenever they like. They do not sleep with me, but do get on the couch.
