Furry friends

*I currently have a 4 year old, neutered male, Border Collie mix* (If booking for 4 days or more, I prefer to bring him with me. If it's less than 4 days I can work with leaving him at home.) I've had dogs in my life since I was about 8 years old. My mom bred our dogs and I would help her. I helped to birth the puppies, feed and wash them, weigh them and track their progress, train and care for them. Since I was 18 I've adopted six dogs. One of them was deaf and blind when I adopted her. I've never been the first home for any of my doggos but I've been the best/most loving final home for all of them.

Tawny left my house cleaner than I did! We got frequent updates and great communication. Thanks again for taking such good care of our little babies! I would definitely book again!

Tawny was amazing. Great communication. Was patient with my booking. Was on time, everything as promised. Came home and found the house cleaner than I left it. My younger dog did amazing with the pack activities. Super impressed, will book again!

I’ve used tawny 3 times now and as usual he did a great job. I know my pups and my home were in good hands and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality pet care.

Tawny was so great with our dog, Hank! Took her on walks and was very attentive with her. He is an excellent communicator. Keeping us up to date before he arrived and while watching Hank. I would definitely book him again!

Tawny left my home clean and my dogs well cared for. I got frequent updates and pictures of my pups while I was gone. He made sure they got plenty of attention and activity around the house for the brief time I was gone. He was great!

Schedule

I work part time and have plenty of time to spend with animals. I usually take my dog out for a stretch/potty every couple of hours and we walk at least once a day. I'm constantly looking for new parks and fun places to play.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a three year old Border Collie mix that gets along well with other dogs and cats. The yard is fenced but there's no doggy door. I have some crates of various sizes if needed. The fur babies are allowed on the bed and all of the furniture at my house. I frequently pet/house sit for a Pitbull mix and she's one of my dogs besties. She has medication and a special diet. I've also frequently had my dad's dogs visit. So my dog is used to both having separate food and sharing in a communal pack. Whenever we pet/house sit we follow their house rules (i.e. - no dogs on the furniture or in the kitchen, etc). I'm trusted with keys to multiple homes and never stop by unless asked to.

Pets

A typical day

I like to play fetch and tug o war and other games. I like to take walks and check out dog parks. I like to give lots of pets, brushes and snuggles. I like to know your dog's favorite activities and make sure we spend time doing them.
