Information Summer H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the size and the gender of the dog(s) and if they are friendly around other people and dogs. Any special information to know about them is appreciated! Please detail any medication info and the specifics on how and when to administer throughout the day as well.

A typical day

We love to go for walks on the neighborhood loops! I have many dog toys in my home including: balls, frisbees, ropes, and stuffed toys for all types of playtime. For low energy pups, I’ve got plenty of soft dog beds and rugs to relax and rest. I monitor how each pup is doing thoroughly in cold and warm weather conditions and make sure they stay comfortable and get plenty of water.

Dog lover with a fenced-in yard! 🦮

Pet care experience

I have had dogs most of my life and have 20+ years of experience looking after other peoples' pets. I love caring for my animals - we play indoors and outdoors and go for a few walks per day. We have a large, private, fenced-in backyard with lots of space to run and enjoy the outdoors. My neighborhood walking route consists of both a large loop, which is perfect for large, high energy dogs, and a small loop, for older or less energetic dogs, and multiple places along the route for potty breaks and stops.
