Who let the Dogs 🐕 🐶 🐩 out?

Pet care experience

I know first-hand how important a dog is to a family, and how difficult it can be to be away from them. That’s why I became a dog sitter: to provide pups with a safe and loving place to stay when their owners are away. No one likes to put their dog in a kennel when they leave, so I’m here to make sure your pooch is as happy as can be! There’s just nothing better than getting to see a dog thrive under your care. We are a young family with a well-trained, loving, 5-year-old Vizsla. We love having welcoming new furry friends into our house! On top of our own dog, we do have professional experience taking care of dogs. We have multiple training qualifications in advanced obedience, ability, and nose work (scent tracking) through the Milwaukee Dog Training and the Canine Training Association. The training process was a great experience and it is safe to say that we learned a great deal going through it! My wife and I are both home during the weekdays, so we’re a great match for dogs that are used to having a human presence around them. During the day, I start work a little later, which means I can play and take the dogs out for a morning potty break and breakfast. I like to play fetch, tug-of-war, and collect up some prized branches and sticks! My wife works from home and spoils them with love! We love having dogs around the house, so there is no shortage of affection to go around. We love our neighborhood, it’s a quiet area named West Laurel. It’s a older established neighborhood but has great paved sidewalks, friendly neighbors and plenty of dogs to meet along the way. We have a large backyard, although unfenced, it’s a great, quiet place for dogs to explore if your dog is happy staying on a long lead.

I am a dog lover and have two Vizsla pups of my own that will make your pup feel right at home. I have plenty experience caring for senior dogs or those with disabilities requiring special assistance. I am punctual and respect the clients home and or preferences taking the best care of your pup leaving them happy and hopefully mentally exhausted.

Information Vaun G. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

A healthy dog is a happy dog! I love getting outside with my pup and getting tons of exercise with her, so physical activity will be a mainstay of our time together. I love to play tennis and go on hikes with my dog, so your pup will be right at home with me if they enjoy exploration. We also love to go on bike rides together! When Prince was a puppy, he was so full of energy; going for a bike ride was the only way that I could tire him out! Now he’s very used to the bike and always wants to accompany me along the bike trails. If your dog is used to bike rides, I’d love to bring them along!
