I've always wanted a house full of animals, but since that's not reasonable, I do the next best thing: take care of other people's animals. I've been caring for other people's pets for several years now - including house sitting, dog walking, and dog boarding. I maintain several permanent clients while also taking on less permanent positions here and there (say, you break your leg and need someone to walk your dog for a few months). I have experience with all breeds, from a 2 lb chihuahua to a 130 lb bloodhound and everything in between. I care for your pups (or kittens or reptiles or birds) as if they're my own! I grew in a rural area, raising no less than 5 dogs at a time - as well as your less usual animals, including but not limited to goats, squirrels, raccoons, sheep, and abandoned kittens. I've trained them all of my animals on my own, and every person that has met my pup Achilles has stated "he's the best dog they've ever met." It's true - he listens, acts, and responds like a human, because I talk to him like he is. When dog sitting, I always consider what I would want if I left town and someone had to watch Achilles for a week. If you choose me to take care of your pup(s), you'll know that they're being taken care of like they're my own. You'll receive pictures and videos, if your phone supports it. I have reliable transportation, if there were to be an emergency. I don't smoke. We'll discuss potty habits, eating habits, and special needs. It's a bonus if you let your dog sleep in the bed - they'll be able to do the same with me. I'm an open book, willing to answer any questions. I look forward to speaking with you!
