As a dog momma, I know what it's like to leave your pups when you have to go away. Therefore, I offer what I'd want for my own dogs. I can provide a safe, caring, and fun experience for your pup. Each stay is catered to you and your dog's needs. My current tiny canine companions are named Lady Gandalf and Moosewood. We enjoy doing almost everything together; some of our favorite activities include hiking mountains and lounging in the backyard on sunny days. I was raised with a pit bull and have spent the past few years of my adult life with Gandy and Moose. I'm comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dog, as well as other animals. I have experience caring for cats and Guinea pigs, fish and other aquatic animals, and chickens and goats. I also have experience administering medicine, cleaning wounds, and I've taken the pet first aid class at Dove Lewis Animal Hospital in Portland, OR. I really enjoy meeting new animals and loving on them as if they were my own. I only accept one dog at a time so that your pup gets the exceptional care and attention they deserve. My number one rule is that they must be friendly toward my own two small dogs. Currently, I am taking the year off from my career as an elementary school teacher, and therefore would be able to spend time with your dog all day long. We can hang out at home, go for walks, and go for hikes; whatever suits you and your pet's needs. If it sounds like I might be a good match for your animal care needs I'd love to hear from you!
