Pet care experience

Country K-9 Escape

I have never been without dogs in my life, from growing up at home to being independent in my own home and raising my family. I currently have 2 large breed and 1 small breed dog. I believe socializing dogs is key to having a well rounded dog. My dogs have been socialized around adults, seniors, children, babies, cats, horses, goats, sheep and chickens.

Schedule

I currently manage a retirement community in Red Deer, my husband is semi-retired. We have 2 dwelling on our acreage. My mother and uncle reside in the second dwelling and are around 24/7, because of this 0-2 hour potty breaks are able to be offered. I will be the sole sitter responsible for caring for the dogs in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

Our dogs are a huge part of our family, and are included in outings. They are provided with at least one walk a day, and are often found outside with us while chores are being done, or a fire and the pit is being enjoyed. Our small breed dog joins me at work in the retirement community engages with 80+ residents there.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes country walks down the gravel road at the residence. Dogs that are not used to being off leash would have a long line attached to them for ease of control if they veer away from the pack. Treats are provided as well as treat mazes for mental stimulation.

I would require and special needs such as allergies and medications etc. Rules you instill in your dogs environment will be followed here, such as sleeping in a kennel, or not allowed on furniture. My dogs do no have those rules but I would aim to not create new habits for yours.
