Easy-going family LOVES dogs and would love to give your dear dog a happy place to stay while you're away. We have a large fenced-in yard and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood. Dog care is our passion, and we look forward to playing with and snuggling with your pet. We do request that your dog be easy-going, house-trained, and good with children. We will accommodate your requests; quirky dogs are loved here! We welcome your dog into our "pack" and give him or her the run of the house and yard. We can't accommodate dogs that are fearful or aggressive. We have a lot of repeat customers and we require a meet and greet before we can book your dog's stay. For this reason, please contact us as soon as possible, and confirm your stay as soon as you can. We don't take more than three guests at a time and we tend to continually have guests—which we love and is great!—so don't hesitate to get in touch. Why I love dog sitting I was attacked by a pack of wild dogs at the age of 4, when my family was living in Central America. I retained an unreasonable fear of dogs my entire life—until my children insisted upon getting a dog. I then read every book I could get my hands on. Surprisingly, Jean Craighead George's "Julie of the Wolves" was the most helpful, as I realized that it's possible to "read" dogs and understand them from their body language. And the Monks of New Skeet's classic, "The Art of Raising a Puppy," was invaluable. Using their puppy test, we chose an extremely agreeable puppy who was nothing but a joy to us. Although I was at first afraid to be left alone with her, I chose to do all her grooming and all her training. And now, I am delighted to say that I am on the far other side of the spectrum: I am crazy about dogs, all dogs, and I am the most happy when I am around dogs. I have been able to help some neighbors with their dogs when they've had problem behaviors to overcome. I am a calm, confident person and dogs love me. Meet my pets Our dog, Clover, is a rescue.
