Experience: Why Choose Me: - I am a very experienced full time professional Rover Sitter and have completed over 6,000 Rover requests for dogs and cats -Private petsitting insurance in addition to the Rover insurance -I have been a foster and volunteer for a dog rescue 7 years and have trained other people on dog care many times as the Volunteer Coordinator and as Adoption Event Manager. I and my home are approved to foster dogs and cats for 5 different local rescues so we are very safe. I have a lot of dog knowledge and can care for a variety of dogs and cats. I have experience with all ages, breeds, and sizes. I bring knowledge of dog and cat body language and the ability to reinforce good behavior and your previous training with your pets so they maintain their manners and lessons. I’ve won over shy and special needs cats and dogs many times, but I DO NOT accept AGGRESSIVE pets. My heart is in it 100% making sure your beloved pets are comfortable, safe, and having a good time and I have calming sprays/gels/treats, calming music, solo rooms if they get overwhelmed or need a quiet refuge, and other tools in my arsenal. I want a calm, happy stay with lots of play! I also fostered for a rabbit rescue because I really love working with animals. I know how to care for pocket pets like hamsters, fish, and birds. Contact me and I’m happy to learn how to care for exotic pets! **For safety, I CANNOT accept AGGRESSIVE pets and will refer them to great local trainers/behaviorists. Safety for my family and the pets in my care is my first priority. If your dog shows aggression to other dogs they will be separated for the remainder of their stay and referred to a behaviorist/trainer and not accepted back to boarding until I speak with the trainer after service. If the dog shows aggression towards me or another human the booking will be cancelled and they will need to be picked up and taken home, I must be able to care for every dog by meeting their needs in a safe way. My Pets: I own 2 male dogs, Fox the small terrier mix and Oakes my Standard Poodle. I have trained them very well with manners and tricks so I can definitely follow your system and enforce training you are working on. My boys are patient and gentle and they love to play with dogs and people.
