Pet care experience
Dogs are Magic!
I am good at working with all sizes, ages and breeds of dogs. Looking forward to give some love to your four-legged family member: lots of cuddles, play, walks. I've dog sat quite a bit - dogs of all sizes and ages from puppies to older dogs that needed regular medicine. I will follow your instructions to the letter to make sure your dog feels as safe and happy as possible until your return. I know how hard it can be on owners to leave a beloved member of the family behind and how hard it is on a dog to miss their owner. My goal is for your pet to feel as safe and secure as possible while you're away. I have a large fenced in back yard and dog beds. Treats (if allowed) and toys. I grew up with lots of animals - three large dogs: a Malamute, Samoyed and their puppy plus three cats and worked on a horse ranch. I had my own darling Max a Cavalier until he passed a couple of years ago.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Western was great with my anxious dog! I did have a bit of difficulty contacting her before the booking to confirm details, but she sent updates while my dog was with her.
Western was our #1 dog sitter. For 13 years we had a beautiful King Charles Spaniel who had every ailment known to canine royalty; she needed to be given nine different pills/drops/subcutaneous injections on a daily basis. Western did an excellent job of taking care of her. Western was warm, affectionate, good-humored, responsible, and very willing to do everything we asked her to do. Our dog was always extremely happy to see Western. We never worried when we were away as we knew our dog was in good hands. We are feeling almost ready for a new pup in our house; when we have one, we will definitely be calling Western.
Western loves animals and they love her. When she comes into a room, the dogs and cats of the household always flock to her to have their bellies rubbed and to be near her. Western’s great personality - outgoing, warm, responsible and calm - is a perfect fit for Rover. She grew up around animals and k led how to keep them happy and safe. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter or dog walker.

Schedule
I work from home so your dog will have plenty of companionship and attention from morning to evening. I usually walk dogs according to the schedule they are used to. In between, they can hang with me. IFeeding times will also coincide with your instructions. I'm an early riser so you are welcome to drop your dog off (with notice) as early as 7:30 am.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large three bedroom home with an huge fenced back yard on a quiet street near trails. It's single floor so no stairs for older dogs to contend with.
A typical day
I curate activities to fit the dog. Lots of cuddles and pets no matter what. Active dogs I'll play games and throw balls to make sure they get plenty of exercise and take them for long walks. Older dogs require patience and love. I often massage their hind quarters to provide relief. Nervous dogs get plenty of gentle care. I really follow the owners lead and try to match what the dog is used to so that they feel as little disruption to their normal routine as possible.
