2 weenies & a pug ready to play!

Pet care experience

Big dogs, little dogs , senior citizens, medical problems , puppies , YOU NAME IT. I’ve been a professional dog sitter for the past four years with my best friend Petro (Weimaraner ) You’ll notice in the pictures of him, he takes his toys EVERYWHERE cause he knows that we play everyday! I am honored enough to be by his side since he was 4 months old ! I’ve seen him for the past three years 5 times a week for two hours. His owner lets me spend the night when they’re out of town so I am experience in house sitting! I have two senior citizen dachshunds at home 14,12 years old. My 12 year old dachshund has chronic bronchitis and takes medicine everyday. I also have a 1yr old pug named Mochi ! She’s my sweet little girl. Along with my best friend patches who is a 8 year old tabby cat ! I love animals so much and have surrounded them around my life for 14 years. I would love the opportunity to take care of your baby in a fun safe environment ! I’m a very active person and can also take your dogs on a walk ! I have a big backyard as well that is long enough to run in!

We left Valerie with our senior dog for the day and she was a great sitter. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which helped us rest easy knowing our dog was happy and doing well. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again!

Petros owner gave me a copy of the house key. I’ll go into the house, get attacked with hugs and kisses from Petro and immediately take him out. He’ll go outside for one hour with toys and I’ll chase him around the back yard. The next hour he’ll eat lunch and I’ll put treats inside his toys so he can relax on the couch and chew his toys. I’ll take his toys and throw them for him to chase whenever im able to steal them lol. I don’t enter any rooms I don’t need to go in. I don’t typically watch tv. I’ll stay in the living room and backyard. If it’s cold weather I’ll do 30 minutes inside 30 out or 15 in, 15 outside. As far as my house goes, I have harmless little dogs that are too old to do much. They love to sleep and are very friendly. I have a 5 month pug learning how to potty train and she loves to play ! Your dogs will be safe in my fenced backyard. I have 2 dog houses for them to rest in. I leave blankets on the floor to sun bathe. They are allowed inside my house. My dogs sleep inside the house. The two senior dachshunds sleep on the bed with my sister. My pug is still crate training in my room. Your dogs are always welcome in my house and will never be sleeping in uncomfortable conditions.

Information Valerie B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any medical problems or injuries ahead of time ! I would love to know the temperament of your baby and what triggers them. Also let me know their favorite toy or favorite treat ! Anything you think I should know to give them the best expierence with me and vice versa I’d appreciate!

A typical day

A visit with your baby will consist of physical activity or sun bathing ! Toys will be recommended and I love to chase them ! I’ll hide treats in the grass and make them sniff them out. I’ll hide treats in toys and also scratch belly’s ! I love to play tug of war and hide n seek with your baby’s as well! If you would like me to walk then I would be more than happy to do so :)
