Becoming A Trainer! Fenced Yard

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Umber. I am currently becoming a certified dog trainer (CPDT-KSA). By learning updated and current information on dog behaviour, dog body language, and training techniques, I’m able to give your pets more informed, quality care. I take in dogs from a maximum of 4-5 families at a time, so that your pet can get all the love and attention they normally would at home. I also offer complimentary meet and greets to make sure we’re a good fit and that your pup feels comfortable here! I have over 15 years of experience taking care of animals. My fiancé and I have 2 miniature dachshunds named Blueberry and Honeydew who are both great with small dogs, medium dogs, and cats. As a devoted pet parent myself, I completely understand the amount of responsibility that comes with looking after animals. I also understand how difficult it can be to leave your baby with a sitter, which is why I treat any animals that stay with us as my own and make their safety and well-being a top priority of mine. We live in a 3 story house with a fully fenced backyard. We do not have children, have no caged pets, and have a peaceful quiet home. We truly aim to make each stay like a vacation for your pets! Examples of activities can include long walks, playing fetch, tug of war, hide and seek, a stuffed Kong, bully sticks, snuffle mats, lick mats, etc. I will go above and beyond for your loved ones, follow your guidelines and provide exactly what is needed. Your pets will be welcomed and made part of our family while with me. Parks and enclosed fields are also nearby for walks and activity. Updates and pictures/videos of your pup can be sent to you either once daily, or every other day, depending on your preference. With my service you can have peace of mind knowing your baby is getting individualized care. **Note: If you’d like to book with me, I ask that your dog be on the kind, calm, gentle side. Overly aggressive or extremely hyper dogs do not match well with the anxiety free environment I try to provide. Hyperactivity and aggression issues can also pose a safety risk to Blue, Honey, and other animals I am sitting. Thank you!

Umber was absolutely amazing with our Peanut! She kept us in the loop every single day about how he was doing and was super accommodating with pick up and drop off times. 100% will recommend her to anyone that needs a dog sitter and will be using her service again for the future! Thank you again ?

Frankie loved his stay. I felt confident with Umber’s care. She gave a lot of updates and was quick to respond to any questions. I liked that we did a thorough meet and greet to answer and questions and ensure that Frankie was a good fit with her pup. Highly recommend!

I don’t think my dog has ever had a better dog sitter!

We have used sitters on Rover before but have never found anyone as incredible as Umber! We left our Daisy girl with her for 2 and a half weeks while we went on our honeymoon (which was the longest we’ve ever been away from our baby!!). But knowing that Daisy was in amazing hands allowed us to actually relax on our vacation. Umber’s entire process from asking detailed questions about Daisy’s personality and routine, giving us such helpful training tips, and sending us pictures and videos of Daisy and the other dogs playing every single day, allowed us to be completely worry free. Umber also has the most beautiful home and we could tell Daisy loved the extra space inside and in the backyard to run around. To the point that she didn’t even want to leave when we picked her up lol!! We will only be returning here from now on. Thank you again Umber 💕

Safety, trust & environment

Additional safety information: • We try to dog proof our home as much as possible (ie: having round side tables instead of a sharp edged coffee table, keeping pups behind a gate when cooking foods that could be harmful for them, being able to lock/secure our garbage cans, having a high fenced and very secure backyard, etc. • Dogs are always supervised during playtime and when in our backyard. Additionally, we have cameras in our backyard so that I can keep watch on any pups that may need a longer amount of time to potty. Our fence also has motion sensor lights installed so that pups have a much easier time seeing when it’s dark out! • All meals and/or bones are given to each dog separately to ensure that no resource guarding occurs. I use playpens, crates, dog gates, different rooms, different floors, etc to give each pup their space and privacy while eating.
