Information Victoria M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dogs age, temperament, activity level, and feeding schedule. Also any special needs for medical care, behaviors, or preferences. Also is your dog up to date on shots and heartworm prevention? Please make sure that your pet is up to date on flea and tick preventative.
A typical day
Walking is important to dogs and we walk around the neighborhood for 1 mile. I will also take dogs to the neighborhood field/park on extension leashes for a more unstructured walk time. They love investigating mole hills and new smells. Play in the yard involves fetching balls and tug of war. In the summer, we put out a wading pool.

Pet care experience
I'm a teacher who is home on school breaks and weekends and ready to spend time and energy with your pet. I have a lovely shady fenced backyard for outside play time. My backyard is accessable by a dog door and many dogs learn to use it! I keep the number of dogs low, so your dog or dogs will not be stressed by multiple unknown dogs, and will get plenty of attention. Also, I will do my best to ensure that dogs are compatible. Our goal is to provide a home away from home, not a kennel experience. I have a medium dog myself, and we walk every day. My 14 yr old son will play with active animals, as will I. We are a fun family. I keep plenty of toys and kongs available. I provide photo updates of your pet and contact texts with updates. Caring for your pet is a precious task, and I take animal well being very seriously. Each pet has individual needs, an we try to provide some basic training, or brush outs, medicine, quiet time, or extra playtime based on your pet's personal needs While with us your dog is a loved family pet the same as at home and all pets get affection, cuddles and love. I schedule pups on weekends and holidays because as a teacher, this is when I can devote my time to properly care for your dog. I am home full time for pet sitting during the summer and on holidays like Memorial day, Fourth of July, and other paid vacations. Occasionally, I will takes dogs during the week, if you are a prior client, your dog is comfortable and familiar in my home, not showing anxiety, and you realize I am working from 7am - 3pm. I have a shady, fenced yard and we play fetch and tug of war in the backyard every day. In the summer we put out a small wading pool. The yard is available via dog door. I monitor dogs closely and if your dog is a flight risk because they dig or jump 6ft fences I need to know so I can close the dog door up. I also have a downstairs play area that we use during, rainy, cold, or super hot weather. I am careful about giving medication, and correct feedings. I do walk dogs around the neighborhood, often two at a time.
