Pet care experience
Your dog will be cared for by an experienced dog owner. Pampered by a self-employed mom with a home office, they won't be lonely! You'll receive photos while you're away so you can enjoy your vacation and know your pet is happy and healthy. I trained and showed Amstaffs in confirmation, obedience, and rally for fifteen years, competing in obedience and training for agility. I have experience with a variety of breeds. Teenage dog-loving child provides extra love. Experience with dog reactive dogs, dogs with medical conditions, and dogs with anxiety. We travel in the summer and can't commit to having our own pets and I remember the struggle to find competent pet care so we want to open our home. I do not discriminate by breed. I worked for over a decade fighting breed-specific legislation including helping overturn Denver's breed ban. Here, your dog will have a comfortable 1,300 sq fr apartment to roam. Let's chat and see if it's a good fit!
Reviews
Summer took good care of my dog. My dog usually gets very nervous and unhappy when being left with strangers, but Summer was patient with her and found ways to help her relax. I think my dog actually enjoyed the stay with her!
Summer was loving and communication was excellent.
I have had Summer take care of my dogs for many years and she is absolutely wonderful with them! She used to train, breed and show dogs so has a ton of experience. She can sense when dogs are fearful, timid or aggressive and responds accordingly. She loves to cuddle and play with the dogs, which is what all of mine have been used to. You will be glad you hired her for your furry friend as she is the best! They will be in great hands with Summer.
