***COVID-19 UPDATE*** I am currently only accepting stays in my own home. I live in a gated apartment complex that provides an extra layer of security and plenty of green spaces for your pup to play. I am working from home and can provide your pup plenty of affection and exercise. Unfortunately the complex is breed restrictive, therefore I temporarily will not be accepting breeds such as Pitbulls, Cane corsos, Mastiffs, Rottweilers, Akitas and Dobermans - I love all breeds and would never discriminate if it were not for the strict complex rules. I have had dogs my whole life, from small Malteses to large Rottweilers - and have never met a dog I didn’t like, but more importantly have never met a dog that didn’t like me! As a recent college grad preparing for professional school, I unfortunately cannot yet afford to support a dog of my own in the way it would deserve. I travel home to see my parents dog (who I pretend is mine) quite often, yet I still find myself missing the companionship of a canine almost daily, so I would LOVE to walk and care for your pups as if they were my own!! I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Biological Science in 2018, and I am currentlly working on research at Penn Medicine as I prepare my applications for medical school. Previous clients may remember my very open availability; my position at the Unversity of Pennsylvania’s Penn Medicine is full time, but very flexible. My mornings, evenings, nights and weekends will still be available! I have experience with dogs anywhere from 5-100 pounds. My own dog is a Maltese mix, who requires hours of play, followed by hours of snuggles in my lap. My cousin has 3 large, energetic boxers that I have cared for during her vacations, with one of the dogs being elderly, requiring medications 2x per day. Though my official certification in pet cpr has lapsed, I have been trained on it through the American Red Cross and am comfortable providing it if ever necessary! Though I love all animals I unfortunately have to keep my distance from cats due to allergies! Additionally, I have two years of experience as an in home nanny to 4 young children and an energetic Labrador, which is testament to my trustworthiness in a family's home, and my abiliy to take great care of their children and pets. The rates and services I have listed are all subject to change based on the needs of your dog! If you need sitting for a few hours but not overnight, an “extended check in” I call it, I can provide customized prices for those based on the length of the stay. Additionally my nightly price covers a 24-hour period, so depending on departure and arrival times, price may be slightly adjusted.
