Safety, trust & environment

I’ve always said pets are family and that means the couch is fair game for family sitting! Scheduled bathroom outings a minimum of 3 times a day. We have a small fenced in area behind the house and a huge yard beside the house for on leash adventures! We do have a small poultry pen on the right side of house, they only free range with supervision.

Information Tawni R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know the dogs fearfulness level and energy level ahead of time. If they have triggers or like to dart off after small animals. If they have any food aggression.. Must be good with children.

A typical day

We can play fetch, go for walks, or enjoy some toys inside or outside the house! my favorite is probably snuggling up on the couch giving belly rubs!

Pet care experience

I have had, and loved dogs all of my life, I also lived on a farm for a few years (pigs, chickens, horses) I enjoy walking and I absolutely love dogs! I look forward to meeting your fur babies and showering them with cuddles and so much love! I’ve been dog sitting professionally since 2017. I have a pre-school aged son who loves dogs!

Tawni was kind and understanding with our anxious pup. She allowed our dog to wait smd rest and gave us an honest update.
