🎀Extreme Dog Lover🎀

💕PLEASE READ!!!!!!!! I do not sit large or medium breeds. Small Pets Only My love for Dogs started when I got my first pet Precious at the age of 5 for my birthday. Blues Clues, Clifford & 101 Dalmatians were my favorite tv shows growing up! Since then I made it my business to spend the rest of my life adopting dogs and giving them a great life because I know their lifespans are shorter than ours. I am 30 now & Dogs changed my life. These animals are God sent and they teach us unconditional love. I take immense pride in extending this level of care and affection not only to my own pets but to all the lovable, drooly, fluffy companions out there. Providing love and care to these wonderful beings is not just a duty; it's a passion that enriches my life immeasurably.

Schedule

I work from home sometimes & I am off a lot and during work days I work for less than 4 hours so I have all the time in the world to give your fur baby all the attention it needs! I take care of pets just as we take care of our own. With love, respect and making sure they have everything they need. I love snuggles and absolutely LOVE taking photos and videos! Anything your pet needs, I can make that happen!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an house with a small unfenced front & back yard. I always make sure my pets are on a leash I never take the leash of pets for their safety only when they are inside my home where they have the freedom to roam around and lay on beds and couches! All dogs must be crate trained during boarding for bed time only!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with us consists of a daily morning walk and breakfast :) An afternoon play at the park for an hour during the afternoon, dinner and a last evening walk at night and a fun sleepover with Bluey cartoons to end the night!
