I’m all about your dog’s happiness!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10 yrs old. I’d watch my friends and family dogs. I’ve also dealt with puppies and if needing help on training I’m more than happy to help with that while I watch them. I also have experience with older dogs and will make sure they are comfortable and make sure their time with me is enjoyable and not stressful.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 friendly dogs to keep yours company. They’re both neutered and spayed. My male is a 9yr old Rottie/chow mix. My female is a 3yr old Leopard Catahoula. I don’t have a fenced in yard but they will be on a leash when going outside to potty. I am able to crate if need be. When it’s feeding time, I do feed in separate areas so they can eat peacefully and not worry if another tries take it. I also do watch them when they eat. I do allow the pups on the couch and bed so they can be comfy. I have plenty of toys for them to play with. They also will receive a bath if they get dirty and before they go home.

Information Tessa S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog is spayed/neutered, if they aren’t it’s not a big deal. If they are on any type of medication, if so, when to give it to them and how you recommend giving your dog med. Also do they have a certain shampoo or conditioner for baths. I’d also like to know if they good with other dogs, they’re everyday schedule, if they have one. Also if you want them walked, how are they on they on the leash. If they’re a puppy and he/she is still being trained, would you like my help. I don’t have any preference on a breed. I love all sizes, personalities, and breeds.

A typical day

I like taking the dogs to the park to play and run around for a few hours or a good part of the day if it’s nice out. I try to take them every day if not every other day. I’ll also make sure they’ll get plenty of belly rubs and cuddles.

I currently started working full time. The days I do work, I do go home and let the pups out to play and potty on my lunch break. Once I’m off they have my full and undivided attention.
