Pet care experience

Fur Babies are my life!

I have lived my entire life with dogs. I would love a playmate for my dogs and to be able to just love on all animals. My walks take usually about an hour, but I don't mind going shorter or longer. I've also lived with bunnies, guinea pigs and cats, so smaller animals would be a bonus on top of the dogs. :) They will receive plenty of kisses and cuddles. No dogs are scary and definitely not to big. They all are lap dogs in the end. I live on a 12 acre hobby farm that includes a pond for swimming, a fenced in dog run and tons of chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys running around. I typically work mornings and my girlfriend is home all day, so dogs are hardly left home alone for too long. They have free run of the yard or fenced in dog area. All animals are allowed on furniture and there is an endless supply of toys and water. I follow all clients house rules that are set so that the dynamic of the house is the same for the dog when they are away.

Copper seemed to love his stay and was well cared for. He loved all the dog friends to play with.

This was my puppies first time being away from our family. Minnie had such a wonderful time playing, making dog friends. She was so wore out she crawled on my shoulders on the drive home and slept and continued to sleep when we got home. I was super thankful for pictures and quick responses when checking in on her. Minnie will be back in the future!! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl while we were away!

Schedule

We have a schedule with the dogs, as well as they have constant access to water inside and outside. We converted our garage into a dog house with furniture, toys and a space to just get inside if its too hot/cold. My partner is home full time also, so they are never left alone for long periods of time.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure I follow all the animals normal house rules and routines. Keep it as consistent to their environment as possible. We do like to know about any triggers or aggression so we can keep a more keen eye on those aspects in case they arise. Please let us know about recall, sleeping arrangements and crate trained.

Pets

A typical day

Walks, tug of rope, fetch, trips to a dog park, swimming in the pond and all the cuddles they could want. They get the comfort of either being in there own home, or the adventure of going elsewhere.
