I've had a dog or dogs of my own for the past 17 years. Sadly, my 14.5 year old heart dog who was with me for 12.5 years (in the santa profile photo) recently passed away in April 2022 from a degenerative neurological disease. I miss him so much and am not yet ready to get a new dog, but I absolutely miss having dogs in my life and in the apartment so I think dog sitting and giving all my love and attention to your dog is a perfect compromise. I love all dogs, even the naughty ones and the ones who are currently "working on it" 😉 There is one foster cat in the home, and he absolutely loves dogs. My profile says 1 dog, that is incorrect there are no resident dogs. Sadly he's not with me anymore but I can't bring myself to delete his pet profile from when I used rover to find sitters for him 🥺 I have a big soft spot for senior pooches but love all ages. I have over 15 years of volunteer rescue experience (mostly with large and/or bully breeds many with behavioral/stress induced issues) so I'm comfortable taking dogs who exhibit behaviors like dog aggression, resource guarding, anxiety, separation anxiety, etc... I also welcome those who still haven't quite figured out house training, we can work on it during the stay. I am willing to accept dogs with human aggression issues, but we would need to have an in depth meet and greet before anything is booked. I am still remote wfh part time so I am literally home all day every day for plenty of playtime and potty breaks. No kids or other responsibilities that would take away from your pup. I am lucky enough to have a fully fenced private patio, and I put some astroturf down for my dog and id love it if another dog got to enjoy it. I'm also lucky enough to live close to Carl Schurz park meaning we can take walks in the park or head to the offleash run if your pooch is dog friendly! All surfaces of my home are pet friendly. I have dog beds, a couch, a bed, etc, and your doodle is free to lounge and snooze on all of them. I am also open to watching your pet in your home if you prefer as long as you live within a reasonable distance.
