I’ve dog sat for many friends and neighbors for years including walks, single day repeats, emergency overnights, 14 day trips, stays in owners homes, etc. I know how hard it is finding a sitter you trust; especially while you enjoy your own time away. I make sure a dog feels safe, comfortable, and stimulated with play or various places to relax - whatever their preference. I do this so I know there are more people caring for pets with the same love, patience, and attention I want to provide my own dog. I only take one reservation at a time so the dog is only with its house mates. I will only take a second reservation if both owners know, and I am familiar with both dogs temperaments. I want pets happy, and I don't want any pet tired from anxiety. My hope is you feel your dog is pampered at a summer camp or resort while they're with me. I have extensive experience with injections, eye creams, pills, or any other medications. I especially love senior dogs. I’m quite active so if your dog needs a walk, I’m happy to do so! I’ve worked in medical ethics and compliance for 15 years. I have numerous background checks and hold myself to the upmost integrity. If you need me in your home, you can have peace of mind just as my own employers do. I do maintain notes from clients homes I've stayed in. Those are available if requested to maintain privacy. I work from home part time, flexible schedule, so I am free whenever, wherever. My husband Daniel also works from home full time. This is helpful for scheduling a visit or drop off, medications, feeding schedules, potty breaks, extra attention and play, or anything else. Our front deck is gated. Our backyard is fenced, and we have a 2 foot fenced dog-turf potty area. We also have a sofa ramp for wiggle butts. (Note - our doxie Harley passed in December from old age. We miss her dearly and will look for a new wiggle-butt to pamper this fall. Until then, I'm leaving this info here so you can see what our routine was and will possibly be like.) My husband works from his home office upstairs. He has an XXL sized orthopedic dog bed and blankets. I am downstairs with a couple smaller beds, the sofa, and a front & back deck so dogs have access to sunbathe and stretch any time of day. We have found some dogs like 'guy time' in the darker den upstairs and it's nice to know they have various places to enjoy their day. This is also helpful if we need to split dogs to give a medication, or one can go on a walk while another may want to nap. We have two large crates if you prefer for your dog (like bedtime), but we don’t personally use them. We’ve got plenty of dog beds, blankets, bowls, and leashes but please bring what your pup may be comfortable with. Dogs are welcome on furniture/bed (but we encourage your home habits to maintain consistency). Please let me know about any personality traits, needs, medical, food, behavior, routines, etc. I’m completely adaptable and believe dogs respond well to humans who understand them.
