Only problem is dogs love me too mu

Pet care experience

I'm updating my profile. I now live in central Salt Lake City but you may have seen my Pleasant Grove profile. It is an apartment now but there is grass out both front and back doors and a doggy play park 100yds from my back door. So, I have a LOT of experience with dogs, my first being 30 years ago and have personally had have 4 (only 1 still with us). I've also trained military working dogs and helped start a service dog company. I'm often picking around helping at the Humane society ... So bottom line I love dogs and even offer training programs. So let me know. Types of dogs don't usually bother me but I have my own, so yours has to be ok with them (if it's a short stay I can separate or if they take time to warm up ok). I do have a hard and fast rule about a Meet and Greet first, even if I meet you at the park or it's quick. Personality differences need to be discovered early not when you drop off for the day/weekend/week. Also trust me with my reading of the pooches, with my training history I pick up things that sometimes even parents don't. I've never turned a dog away but the Meet amd Greet let's me get an idea of you and the dog(s). That way I can also adjust my dog and everyone has a happy stay! Anyway! Thanks for reading. I also just also ask for honesty... If your dog might pee or have an accident or they like to jump, whatever, I'd prefer to know cause then it's best care for them.

Shawn is fantastic with my puppy I can tell because today was the second time she stayed with him and she literally jumped from my arms as soon as she saw him. We had quite an... Unpleasant (disgusting) situation involving her potty and he was very patient and understanding. He was also very flexible as I asked him to take care of her quite last minute because another sitter had cancelled. My puppy comes home happy and tired and I don't need to worry about her when I'm at work because I know she's in good hands.

Hi Shawn, thanks for keeping Rainbow and taking care of him. I appreciate all your effort to keep him happy and play with other dogs in your house, will work with you again for my next visit. I appreciate you updating me time to time about his progress and activities.

Shawn took Raven on short notice and let her play for a few days with his other dogs. Messaged me frequently with pics to show she was having fun. My pup had a blast!

Information Shawn C. would like to know about your pet

Just overall personality. We'll match pretty quick ;) I would like to know any issues or things that stick out to most people. Examples, hrrmm do they get into things or have behaviors that could interact with my dog, or are they food defensive? Other than that I like to develop a relationship with the bubba's

A typical day

I love keeping doggos occupied in many ways... Playing with each other (if 2 dogs) or tossing around a toy. It's better for me cause it gets energy out. If your dog is a fit there is also a nearby dog park our other residents use that sometimes is an empty place to run and sometimes it's safe dog play

Pet care is my sole focus right now. I'm trying to get some health issues in line (internal medicine stuff don't worry lol) so I can't work right now. Therefore doggos (and occasional cats and rats) are my job and give me purpose so, outside of bathroom and eating breaks, haha, they'll have my attention
