Pet care experience

TRUSTWORTHY! COMMONSENSE! CARING!

I have taken care of dogs For over 20 years now and I love animals of every kind with all of my heart. I currently own a Japanese chin that I rescued as a puppy. He had Severe luxating patella in both knees. We have had Ying Yang Tang (Tang) now for 11 years and he is doing well after double knee surgery. I do love cats but I am allergic so I try to keep my distance if possible. I have a medium sized fenced in backyard that my dog loves. If you’re looking for somebody who will take care of your pet like their own I am that person. Just like people, I know our dogs may have their own personalities and may require special requests. Feel free to communicate with me regarding any special needs your dog might have. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m currently working part time mostly from home.. I have lots of free time. I have a daughter who’s 20. My husband works 2nd shift. Most always someone is home. I own a house with a medium sized fenced in yard. My kitchen living room and dining room all have pet friendly vinyl flooring . No one in the house smokes. My daughter lives at home and is a big help. She is also a huge animal lover. My husband leaves for work on the weekdays at 1pm. My dog loves to have company of other dogs around. . . My schedule is fairly flexible. I am home the majority of the week . I do work a little on Thursdays and Fridays. My husband works 2nd shift so he is here durning the day. My 20 year old daughter Is always around, she is currently taking all her college classes from home. We are all animal lovers! . My dog is getting older and sometimes bigger energetic dogs might not be the best fit with him. He doesn’t like it when bigger dogs jump on him.

Tia was awesome! She sent lots of photos and videos throughout the stay- she was super easy to communicate with and kept me updated the whole time. My dog had such a great time that she didn’t even want to leave when I picked her up. I’d definitely book with Tia again and highly recommend her!

Tia and her family were amazing. They provided photos and videos multiple times a day. They have a very large and safe backyard that our pups enjoyed. She even taught our mini dachshunds to safely use her stairs. She informed us at pickup that one of our pups tried to mark his territory several times, which is our fault because he has yet to be fixed. We were not aware that this would be an issue because he does great at home. I sincerly appreciate her kindness, patience, understanding to the situation. I on the other hand, was very embarrassed and plan on making that neutering appointment before we book with her again. 10/10 highly recommend.

I have a fenced in backyard. Pups are allowed to sleep on our beds and they are allowed on furniture. We are always very careful during feeding. I also always have a meet and greet before accepting a booking to insure all the pups I watch are friendly.

Pets

A typical day

I give my doggie friends plenty of individual attention and love, also plenty of exercise. we love playing fetch in the backyard, tug-of-war and one really fun game I play with my dog is hide and seek with a toy. I’d love to teach your dog!! My husband and daughter also enjoy helping with the doggie care.

I would definitely need to know what your dogs feeding schedule is and how often do they usually go potty, also if there’s any allergies to be aware of.
