Types of Dogs I watch: All non-aggressive, friendly dogs are welcome to come over to our home. I work from home and I'm on the phone, so I watch dogs that do not bark excessively. I love dogs and your dog will get lots of attention and will be treated like the family pet. I also want you to know that most of the dogs I watch, I have watched for years. I deeply appreciate the trust in watching your dogs especially to my repeat clients. Sometimes I have more than one dog, so I want to make sure they all get along. I am able to separate them if necessary. Reviews and my wonderful clients: I have never asked for a review, but many of the dog owners I watch have given me glowing reviews. They know I love their dogs and treat them well. I have had personal dog training for Boomer, my husky, and my previous dog, Blake (Golden Retriever) so if your dog pulls on walks or need help with basic training, I can sometimes work with them. If your dog is shy or has any issues, let me know. and as long as they are not aggressive, I can usually work with them to make them comfortable. Medication: I'm experienced and comfortable with administering medication. I can give them pills, drops, shots, take care of elder dogs, injured dogs, or dogs that wear diapers. Prices Please double check my prices, especially during holidays and make sure you're ok with them before you message me. I do not typically negotiate on prices for new dogs. If you're looking for someone with lots of experience, integrity, dependability, excellent communication skills, friendly and very much a dog lover, you've come to the right dog sitter When you message me, I will request that we chat about your dog and usually set up a meet & greet before booking. Thank you for considering me to look after your special pup. It is always an honor to make your dog a part of our family while visiting. If you have any special requests, concerns or if there is something unique about your dog, please let me know. Other Services Professional Dog Grooming , baths, pick up and drop off services and other services (such as watering, taking in mail and checking in on your house if you live close by) are sometimes available with advanced notice for an additional fee.

Here's where we'll take our walks. We will walk around my neighborhood, stretching our legs and soaking up some sunshine daily. I often take the larger dogs to Orcutt Ranch which is a few minute walk from my house. It's a beautiful walk and it's fun to take photos in there. I keep the smaller dogs in my local neighborhood for safety reasons. If it's a weekend, there is a chance, your dog will end up on a hike if you're ok with that. With the owners permission, we sometimes will take a dog out to dinner at a dog friendly restaurant or just bring them with us if we leave the house or go to the beach. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog is welcome to sleep wherever he/she feels most comfortable including on the furniture, multiple dog beds throughout the house, or in bed. I do have a crate in case your dog is used to sleeping in a crate and you don't want to lug yours over. Special Requests I will honor most requests to keep your dog comfortable or in their usual routine. If I have more than one guest dog, each dog eats separately and I'm happy to give them any food, medicine, including shots or eye drops, or follow any special instructions to keep them in the routine they are used to. I'm able to refrigerate, freeze or accept any other feeding requests. You only need to bring their food. I have plenty of dog beds, toys and bowls but if they have something special that makes them feel more comfortable, you're welcome to bring that. There is always fresh water out. If your dog is used to longer walks, I'm usually able to take them on long daily walks. If your dog loves to sleep in bed or on a sofa, that is allowed in our home and we are very good at snuggling with your dog if they love extra attention. When I watch dogs, I can send messages and photos throughout the stay. If I'm sending too many or not enough photos just let me know. Everyone is different and some people want to enjoy their vacation and have the peace of mind of knowing I'm taking great care of their pup without much communication while others one a few extra photos or messages. Just let me know and I'll be happy to do whatever is best for you. .
