I love being able to come home after a rough day to have all my pups put a smile on my face the second I walk in the door! All they want is to be loved and snuggled, and I love being able to watch my dogs running around with smiles on their faces. I became a sitter because I love making sure that pups are as happy as they can be, and in order to give back to the community by giving owners peace of mind while they are away. I work a FT job M-F 9-5:30. This leaves time in the am, pm, and anytime on the weekends for cuddling with your furry family member. I have owned dogs my entire life. I have adopted a couple greyhounds and gave them a forever home. I got to watch their expressions as they learned about the world, it was so awesome! Right now I have two labs and a greyhound. About fifteen years ago, I lived at a house on a kennel property, where I cared for the dogs, fed them, cleaned kennels, assisted the owner/trainer, ran the feed store, and helped in the grooming area for about a year. But now I just look after my three pooches! My 7 year old dog has Addison's disease that is completely under control. I give her daily medications and monthly injections, so I do have experience administering medication. I have my 11 year old senior lab, and a greyhound that is 3 years old. I have previously watched my neighbors dogs (2 blind dogs, and one had diabetes), so I have had experience with disabled dogs as well. When taking on a new client, I always prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet first. During the meet-and-greet, I like to start off by finding out if there is anything your pup loves in particular so I could play with a certain toy, brush him, give him a bone, or whatever it took to make him feel at home and trust me. I love big lovey dogs, no breed preference but they do have to be friendly. No aggressive dogs. I would want to know if they have any history of being aggressive or biting. I do have a bunch of other questions that I like to ask, so we’ll be sure to get into that during the meet. I will respond quickly to any inquiries, keep in touch, send pics, and be respectful of all requests, keep my calendar up to date, and send reminder cards. For your pup, I will be sure to play a lot, exercise, snuggle, keep them safe, and make sure they’re happy! I could definitely take them on car rides and walking around drinking coffee by the beach, or sitting at an outside coffee shop. I also LOVE just sitting by my pool relaxing and letting my dogs play.
