Information Sunshine M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is house trained, friendly with other dogs or has special needs in order to prepare special accommodations as needed for your pet. I would also like to know how your dog does with loud sounds or noises; thunderstorms or firework sounds for example.

A typical day

We have a large comfy bean bag and couches that we allow dogs to sleep and get comfy on so long as they are potty trained or willing to wear a doggy diaper or pee belt for times on furniture. We also have toys they’re free to enjoy and enrichment toys for snack times. Frequent potty breaks and time to explore outdoors so long as safe weather conditions permit time for exploring.

Pet care experience

A remote, work-from-home, dog-loving dog mom to Truman, a friendly 11 year old neutered male Dachshund. 11 years of experience dog sitting for family and friends with zero emergencies or accidents! Patient, loving, kind, observant and a great communicator and photographer. I will match your level of obsession if not, exceed it, if you wish. I make a perfect companion for dogs who need comfort, love and affection. I only accept up to 2 dogs maximum a day, so you can rest assured knowing your dog will have quality care and attention with me.

Sunshine took wonderful care of our puppy! She was great at communicating and thoughtful. We loved her beautiful home. Archie came home very happy and tired out because he had a great day. We will definitely book with Sunshine again.

I've known Sunshine for 5 years and she definitely lives up to her name. She has always been willing to help give extra attention to our 2 Huskies. Sunshine is never one to pass up a lost dog, and is committed to finding their home no matter how long it takes. Animals gravitate to her kindness. She treats every dog as her own. If you are looking for a trusted care giver for your fur baby look no further, Sunshine is the best around.
