My labmix and I will walk your dog!

Pet care experience

Hello I've been around animals my who life but have approximately 5 years of experience caring for cats and dog (I remember driving my mother crazy because I would always sneak stray cats into my room and lost dogs into our backyard.) Overall, I am very fascinated with animals and enjoy engaging with them. I live with 2 guys (one of them is my boyfriend) in a home with a huge living room. I currently have one labmix that is spayed and overly friendly. She is more than happy to share her toys, furniture, and backyard with all dogs. I have a full-time office job from 8-4pm during the week and occasionally I work from home. My boyfriend and I live an active lifestyle. He is an avid runner and I love to train BJJ. I have a very calm personality and great patience. I like to make sure the dogs I host are tired, calm, and well fed when they stay with me; thus, I take them for ~90 minutes walks at parks near my house. I run with them to encourage exercise and of course we play fetch. If they get dirty from our adventurous walk, I make sure to bathe them. After all our fun they get a nice treat! At night, the doggys sleep next to me in a doggy bed or crate. I absolutely love cats! I'd be elated to visit, clean up after, talk with, and play with your cat. Saddly, I cannot have a cat stay over because my roommate is severely allergic but visiting your cat will make him/her more happy since cats do not do well in unknown environments. I understand that not everything goes according to plan; thus, I am more than willing to work with your schedule and unexpected delays. Let's work together to make sure your pet has a wonderful experience!

Was great with Bailey! Sent me pictures and videos of Bai while she was staying with her and she looked like she was having so much fun!

Sheila was absolutely wonderful! We had so much peace of mind that allowed us to better enjoy our vacation knowing that Nilla was having such a good time. Sheila is very sweet and her dog Lo made a great companion. She sent us multiple photos and videos throughout the day and it was clear that Nilla was being looked after with love!

Sheila is AMAZING!! She was so accommodating and made it super easy to drop off my two pups. I can tell she loves dogs and takes care of them well. She took several(really good) portrait photos of them that I will keep forever. I would definitely recommend booking her when you need a sitter for your pups.

For the saftey of my dog I require a meet and greet for any boarding dog at my house to make sure the dogs get along and become familiar with the environment. Please provide the following information about your pet: Any history of backyard escapes? Leash trained? History of food aggression? Medical issues? In case of an emergency please provide an alternative contact.

A typical day

Your dog will get an adventurous walk. I live next to a park with plenty of running space! I will make sure your dog has a wonderful time with my boyfriend, Lo, and I. Your cats curiosity will be stimulated with toys and treats. I will make sure their litter box is clean and that they have food/water.
