My Life Revolves Around Dogs!
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Whitney! I am currently employed in a dog daycare and boarding facility, working with large groups of 20+ dogs who get to play and relax in a loose environment. I am very comfortable reading dog body language, silent signals that may be slight and have skills to help a dog become acclimated and comfortable in new situations. I would also like to think of myself as a professional dog snuggler and expert in cuddles. :) Like humans, every dog is different and I have experience with many types of pup-personalities! It is important to me to always teach positive/good behaviors and reinforcing them to have a better relationship and understanding with each dog. I have experience in administering medications as well as looking out for anything that may seem amiss. There is nothing I enjoy more than spending time getting to know each unique personality and my heart is full of love and understanding for our special fur (or furless!) friends.
Reviews
Whitney is an exceptional caretaker. She has an amazing ability to determine and read Pippas personality to make her feel comfortable and happy. She truly is an awesome dog whisperer.
Whitney, her mom and grandpa will spoil your doggies to no end. Very safe which is one of my #1 requirements because my dogs are escape artists. Have always felt 1000% great about leaving my babies with them, and they go above and beyond with everything. I feel blessed to know them and have them in my & doggies lives.
Abby ( a Sheltie) enjoyed her day care with Whitney, her family and the dogs in her care! Abby is looking forward to an overnight stay very soon. Whitney is very in-tune to the dogs needs and provides a fun environment for the pups. Would highly recommend Whitney and her family
Our 3-year-old darling Penny (Norfolk Terrier) is very happy at Whitney's care. She took care of Penny beyond our expectation. We are absolutely happy that we found Whitney. We dropped off Penny at Whitney's care on three occasions and it was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend her. Thanks.

Information Whitney R. would like to know about your pet
Allergies and ingredients to avoid, previous social experiences with other dogs/animals, pre-existing health issues, how is pup on a leash when another dog walks by? Do they get nervous around a specific gender or a certain situation? What's their favorite activities?
A typical day
My favorite spot to walk my dog is right next door to me: Almaden Lake Park, filled with trails and a lake which is great for exploring for us together. If we're in a mood for a spur of the moment pet store visit, we can go and get a special treat or toy right within walking distance! Cuddles are a must, unless pup likes to do their own thing and climb into a cozy human or dog bed for some quiet observing and relaxation. With some experience in dog training, I am always ready to teach basic commands such as recall-having pup learn their name, "leave it", "sit" ,"stay" "down" and loose leash walking. All very important for every dog to know and will be reinforced by doing fun command practice with treats throughout the day, keeping pup mentally stimulated and happy! I love teaching fun tricks too like "spin", "bow", "touch", or anything that looks cute to try! Pups and myself are always learning something new every day. :) You love tug? Let's do it! Wanna cookie? Let's practice commands! Follow the leader? Okay! Belly rubs and behind the ear scratches? Please and thank you! With 3 dog lovers living under one roof, any fur friends that come over are showered with love and constant attention. My grandpa (Ray), my mom (Donna) and myself all work seamlessly together to provide a wonderful and fun environment for all doggys who come over! While I am at work (about 30 hours a week), at least one of them will be home at all times (both are retired) and will also help with feedings, walks and of course, giving tons of love. :-) I was raised with dogs my entire life, and as you probably know, dog owners are a special and caring kind of person, so with us three together, there is never a dull or lonely moment for all who enter here!
