I am a kind and patient lover of small dogs (15 lbs and under). I have fostered dogs that lived their whole lives on the streets and have doggy-sat dogs that have lived their whole lives with loving families. All dogs deserve love and respect. I would take care of your pet as I do my own, as a member of my family. AREAS OF EXPERTISE *knowledge of dog-safe, organic meals and treats *good teeth-health practices/ teeth brushing *gentle and painless eye-booger removal techniques *prescription pills *safe, mini-adventures at local parks *tummy rubs/ gentle body massages *car travel/ carseat safety *rain/cold, small-dog attire *separation anxiety training and soothing practices *incredibly patient and loving PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT I live in a peaceful and quiet, all-adult home where your pet would have access to comfortable couches and several bedding options. We also have several small-dog toys for those rainy, indoor-play days. SAFE MINI-ADVENTURES I own several small-dog rain jackets and sweaters to wear during cold/rainy days when we need an outside potty-break. I have an extra car seat where your pet can safely and comfortably travel with us to a park and enjoy the good weather. For longer walks, I have a dog stroller so that your pet can comfortably enjoy the scenery and take a break while we continue to stroll and take in some fresh air. Additionally, I own a set of doggy stairs perfect for small dogs to safely go on and off the couch. COMMUNICATION Good communication is very important to me. I know what it’s like to be away from my pet such as when vacationing/ out of town and I would love to text you several picture/video updates of our day. DOG-WALKING (All breeds, 15lbs and under) Are you working from home but can’t get away from a long meeting? Do you take your pet to the office and need someone to come and walk your pet during a meeting/lunch? I can take your pet on a nice refreshing walk while you continue on your work day. ***FOR DAYCARE AND BOARDING IN MY HOME (Hypoallergenic breeds only, 15lbs and under): Due to my partner’s allergies, I am only able to provide daycare and boarding to hypoallergenic dogs, such as our own Yorkshire Terrier (whom we’ve had since he was 12 weeks old and is now 4 years old)*** Hypoallergenic, small dog breed examples: -Affenpinscher -Bichon Frise -Bichpoo -Bolognese -Border Terrier -Brussels Griffon -Cairn Terrier -Cavachon -Chinese Crested Dog -Coton de Tulear -Havanese -Lhasa Apso -Maltese -Maltipoo -Miniature Schnauzer -Poodle -Schnoodle -Scottish Terrier -Shih Tzu -Yorkshire Terrier -West Highland Terrier -Xoloitzcuintli I am available for doggy-day care and boarding everyday and would love to pamper your small dog. My primary goal is to ensure your small furry family member is safe and comfortable. On a typical day, we would go on several walks per day and visit several parks. No couch or bed is off limits in my home. We have several small dog toys, beds and blankets for comfortable napping. I am always home monitoring everything. I have a loving, small Yorkie boy who is very chill. Would love to set up a meet and greet at a local park to ensure we will be a good fit for you.
