As an animal lover, I look forward to taking care of your dog when you are away. They deserve love, safety, and happiness and I am here to provide that for your pooch. I am a school teacher, so when I am at work, my significant other, Michael, is happy to help out. We both adore animals and make it a point to spoil them like they were our children. I also have three children that enjoy playing with dogs. I have a small gated-in section of the backyard where the dogs can freely run around and do their business. There is a dog door to allow them all day access to the yard. I welcome most breeds who are up-to-date on their shots, clear of fleas and other contagious illness, love other dogs, and are friendly to children. They must be fixed if old enough so that there is no risk of pregnancy. Looking forward to spoiling your doggie! Why I love dog sitting Because there is nothing like coming home at the end of a long day, and being greeted by your best dog-friend. I have had a dog in every house I've ever lived in ranging from an American Eskimo, to labs, to a min-pin. I started dog-sitting for my neighbors when I was 16 and have enjoyed the responsibility of taking care of dogs ever since. I feel dogs deserve the best treatment because they are loyal, loving, and just all-around fun to play with. I won't hesitate for a second to get down on the floor or even dirt, and have playtime with your pup-pup. As you can see from all my pictures, I try to play with dogs as much as possible. I am simply looking for any reason to play with your dog! About my yard I have a fenced-in section in my backyard that encloses around my back door. So your dog will not need a leash to go to outside. I have installed a dog door for those who are experienced with them, so they have access to play outside all day. There are a set of stairs in order to get to the backyard so I hope your dog is able to go up and down. If not, I will carry your precious to and from the yard. I can even provide a sweater for a medium sized or small size dog for those who have little hair. I set up kiddie pools in the warm weather for dogs to have water play. I have cameras to keep an eye on things if I'm not home. My experience administering medication I can mix pills with food if it is ok with the owner. I have never given an injection and hesitate to do so, being that I am inexperienced. Can’t wait to play with your beloved pet! I work full-time, but in my absence, dogs have constant access to the fenced-in backyard because of a dog door. I have surveillance cameras all over the inner and outer perimeter of the house so I can check on them at work, as well as talk to them! having a dog door has me taking care of dogs much easier when I am not home. When I arrive for a dog walk or drop-in, I follow the owner’s instructions. This includes potty breaks, administering medication, giving the dogs love and attention, and feeding them meals. I also send detailed updates upon completing my visit at the owner’s house. In my home, the pets are also on vacation so I make sure to show them a great time! They are fed according to their schedules, relax on the couches and dog beds, and have free reign of inside and outside through a dog door in the kitchen. Outside, there is a deck with two sets of stairs; one of them being a normal set of stairs, and the other one being custom-built for senior dogs or dogs with difficulty walking. My house is their place to enjoy themselves and I am here to make sure they are loved, get along with each other, fed well, and have an overall great time!
