5.0

Note: During the pandemic, I moved from Austin, Texas, to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where I was renting a house and couldn't dog-sit because of a stipulation in the lease. So there's a gap of about four years in my reviews. I bought a house in Georgia in 2024 and resumed my dogsitting. I work from home, so I'll be with your dogs all day. And I only take one client's dogs at a time, so your dog(s) won't be with dogs they haven't met--unless both sets of owners agree to it. I grew up with poodles, and as an adult, I've had Chihuahua mixes and a Cairn terrier. I also fostered Cairn terriers for a rescue group. I currently have one adopted male Chihuahua mix, Geordie (he's neutered), and we'd like to welcome your small dog or dogs into our home. Geordie is super-friendly with other dogs as well as people. My one-story house has tile and LVP flooring (no carpets) and a fenced-in yard. Your dogs will be allowed on the furniture, and they can sleep in bed with Geordie; my partner, Garret; and me unless they'd prefer to sleep in a doggie bed or their crate (you supply it) in our bedroom. Please note: I require meet and greets for first-time clients so that you can meet Geordie and me and see my house and yard and I can meet you and your dog. For this reason, I'm not able to accommodate same-day or next-day requests for new clients. For overnight stays, the earliest drop-off time is 8 a.m., and the latest pickup time is 8:30 p.m. Finally, I'll feed your dogs whatever food you provide, but I won't handle raw meat (including fish) or raw eggs.
