I am a certified Dog Trainer; I use positive reinforcement. I own three cats and three dogs. They all are sweet and friendly with other dogs and cats. Your fur baby will have friends to play with and keep them entertained. I also have crates so your fur baby (cat and or dog) can easily be crated. All animals are crated at night, for meal times, if I am putting my children down for their naps, as well as if I need to step out for errands and such. I will have my phone on me at all times so I can reached if you need me. I have a iPhone so I am able to FaceTime if you want to see your pet. I will also send (via text) at least one picture and or video everyday of your pet to you unless instructed otherwise (please let me know). Water is offered at all times (I have a fountain water that is double filtered). I also offer Doggy Daycare services if you just want your dog to have fun and be cared for the day. Also offered is bathing/grooming services; unless you have a special shampoo/conditioner (you must provide it if you want that being used), I use brand name: Kindfull Shampoo & Conditioner for dogs. You must provide food for your dog for their entire stay (please label with the pet’s name and amount needed to be given). If there is an emergency with your pet, you will be contacted immediately, if the situation becomes life threatening to the pet and you are not responding in a timely matter they will be taken to the nearest emergency animal hospital. You will be responsible for the vet bill in its entirety from the animal hospital (by agreeing to have me care for your pet(s) you are agreeing to this terms).

In my home, my dogs and any other dog I am caring for are able to go into the backyard to run around and play. We go on walks (if the weather permits it) around the neighborhood, it would be a bit less than a mile per walk.

Pet care experience

I grew up with animals whether be at home and at my family’s farm. I have taken care of cats, dogs, and even farm animals. Neighbors, friends and family have count on me to feed, walk, bathe, as well as administering medications for their pets. I currently have three dogs and three cats which are friendly with each other and other animals. I have experience in training dogs (I trained my past service dog and training my current dog to be a service dog). I have a very large backyard (bigger than the average dog park) that has a 6ft fence surrounding it, it is perfect for dogs that range from not so active to very active. Plenty of space to run and play. I have experience in caring for dogs/cats that have medical issues like diabetes (I have administered insulin on a diabetic dog before), cancer (have given cancer medication to a cat before). I am DOG & CAT CPR+FIRST AID certified.
