Pet care experience
Please NOTE: My phone # is a HOME Land Line phone. I do NOT Text. And on this phone do not have the capability to text. (sorry, but recently this became evident by a message that I never received). Continue below. I am retired and home most of the time. Your pets are supervised by me inside and outside of my home. When pets are outdoors I am either out there with them or watching them at all times I have always had dogs ever since I was a child. My Husband (now deceased) and I showed Afghan Hounds in the 70's through the early 80's. We had several Champions back then. We also always owned Dobermans too. I now have 2 Rescue Cavaliers. They are the love of my life. Due to being retired from the Government (Missouri & Florida). I now spend most of my time with my dogs. I have had my Lexi for approximately 7 yrs. and my new 18 month old puppy for 6 months. I have a 6 ft. vinyl solid fence around my entire back yard. I never let my dogs out back without my supervision. Dogs that would stay here for day or and overnight care would be treated just like my own 2 spoiled girls. We have watched many dogs over the years. Sometimes neighbors dogs or family dogs as well. I would expect all dogs to be staying here, whether for the daytime only or for overnight, to have proof of updated vaccinations as necessary going by the laws of Indiana. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was a child. In the 19 70's & 80's, my husband & I fell in love with Afghan Hounds and after buying a show prospect, we were hooked on showing dogs. We showed dogs for many years. We also had Dobermans throughout the years. My husband passed away a few years ago and I now live with my 2 wonderful King Charles Cavalier Spaniels. Meet my pets My 2 Rescue Cavaliers are very gentle and laid back. It's their nature to not fight or hit back if another dog attacks them. We cannot have any dog guests that are overly active enough to be aggressive towards my Cavs in a mean way. I don't want my dogs to be stressed out by a guest dog that we are watching to have fun. Sorry, but I have to make sure my dogs are kept in their comfort zone while in their own home. About my yard My backyard if fenced with white vinyl fencing. approx. 130 running feet; about 60 feet across the back & 35 feet from the back to the side of the back of the house. My experience administering medication Yes. I give my dogs meds when necessary (heartworm/flea pills) monthly. I can also do daycare.

Our 5 year old maltese Zoe, has always been cared for by a close friend in our home when we were away. Unfortunately, we lost our friend to cancer recently. As a result, we started searching for a potential sitter for our very loved and spoiled pet. Following an extensive search, we found Selene on Rover.com. Selene turned out to be the perfect match for our needs. Selene has a wide range of experience with dogs. She and her husband showed dogs at one point in her life. Currently, she has two very pampered and loved Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Both of these lucky pups were rescues. Our dog Zoe, has had limited experience with other dogs. All three dogs got along very well and seemed to enjoy each other’s company. Zoe enjoyed playing in Selene’s fenced in backyard. Inside, Zoe was allowed on the sofa, chairs and bed along with her new doggy friends. Selene has taken care of Zoe two times while we were away on trips. On our second visit, Zoe ran up the driveway tugging at her leash and wagging her tail as we approached Selene’s front door. We knew for sure we had made the right decision.
Selene treated my dog like family. She was very nice and accommodating. I’m sure we will be back.
Selene n her two dogs were great with my shotzie. Took very good care of her n couldn't have ask for any better TLC care. Mary
Selene truly pampered my puppy Polly. I would never consider another option for my dog. Thank you, Selene for being so wonderful to Polly.

Information Selene K. S. would like to know about your pet
I can only watch smaller to medium sized dogs that are 1 year old and up.. I don't want an aggressive dog as my dogs are extremely gentle & won't protect themselves. Arrival time: Approximately from Noon or after. Departure: by 2:00 p.m. Feel free to ask about your needed hours you are in need of. I can make exceptions to this schedule.
A typical day
Your dog will walk, run & play in my back yard with my dogs. Our guests that stay here become a part of our family. Your dog will sleep with us unless you prefer otherwise. My dogs are with me most of the time and any visitor dogs that we have will be with us in or outside of my home. In good weather, I sit outside when the dogs are in the backyard. Other times, I let them go out in the backyard and do their business and play as long as they like. I always keep my eyes on my dogs (and yours) from inside my back door. In nice weather, I sit outside with them.
