I am a huge dog lover, animal advocate, and volunteer rescuer. Your treasured family members will be treated like my own dogs, spoiled and pampered when they visit. All dogs stay in our home,enjoy our large deck and fenced yard with lots of potty and play breaks and affection, love, and attention. We learn their home routine and preferences and replicate those during their stay here. You are encouraged to come and see my home and meet and greet my dogs. I can also provide references. About this sitter: I provide a loving home environment for your treasured dogs, with a large fenced yard, lots of potty breaks, playtime, and extras that no kennel can provide. They only sleep in a crate if that is what they do at home. I seek to replicate their home schedule and environment as closely as possible so their stay here is enjoyable. Why I love dog sitting I became a dog lover when I adopted my first dog. A golden retriever I named Tucker. My heart was his, and I have been a huge dog lover ever since. I lost Tucker tragically to a heart condition at only six years old, but he truly changed me in our few years together. Meet my pets I have four dogs of my own, they are very dog friendly. About my yard We live at the end of a cul de sac street on 3 and a half acres. We fenced a large portion of the yard that is accessible from a large deck that runs across the entire back side of our home. We have doors leading out to the deck as well as french doors leading out from the lower level. Behind our home is a very large, undeveloped farm, we have a creek and many trees. It feels like we are in the country, the back yard is very secure,quiet and pretty, and our street does not get alot of traffic. My experience administering medication Yes, I have had to do so with many dogs. I have cared for diabetic dogs, dogs with Addison's disease, Cushing's, and dog's that have had surgery either with me or recently before coming to my home.
