I've had dogs since I was a little girl! My best companions have been a yorkie, pug, "min pin", Labrador retrievers, and German Shepherds. Taking care of animals is something I love to do so making a job of it is my dream! I am eager to meet each and every dog I come into contact with on this site. I love learning and playing with different breeds of dogs because they are all so unique! I am almost always available. I am an active student so I won't be available when I'm at school but other than that, I would love to care for these pups as if they were my own! I always receive texts and answer within 24 hours or even less! **P.S. You can look @ all the doggies I've taken care of on my banner pictures :)** Your dog's stay in a nutshell: - After our scheduled meet and greet, I will prepare my home and transform into a "retreat" that is designed to make your pup feel like they're at home. - I have a large sized crate for dogs that are crate-trained; equipped with a blanket (I ask that every dog is house trained because I like to keep the dogs inside; especially during the summer). - I have dog treats in case you don't have time to bring your own or you forget (who doesn't forget things once in a while). In addition, I like to make my own healthy treats like peanut butter and carrot popsicles (perfect for the heat). - Each day of boarding, I try to walk your pup twice a day. If not, he/she will definitely get the exercise they need with AT LEAST one walk and by playing fetch at the park. - I only accept one dog per boarding session because I like to give my undivided attention to each one of your doggies (if you have two dogs at home, I can makes exceptions since the dogs live together). I believe this is what makes your dog's stay a lot more enjoyable. - At the end of a long boarding session, I like to treat the pups to a Puppiccino from Starbucks (please let me know if your dog is lactose intolerant so I can make other treats for them). - I give daily updates and pictures of how your dog is doing. I am always on my phone so I will answer each text ASAP. - I am experienced when it comes to giving medications to dogs. - Baths will be given to each pup during a boarding session if shampoo is provided. My Drop Ins: - For each drop in, I try to stay at least an hour so your pup isn't alone for too long while you're away. - I update you when I arrive to the agreed location and when I leave. - I send as many pictures of your dog as I can during the stay to keep you up-to-date - I can feed them if needed and take them out to the backyard if requested.
