About: I am a pet owner over 20 years, I am a responsible and caring dog sitter with years of experience ensuring dogs are treated with the utmost care and attention. As a pet lover family, we understands the importance of creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for your dog while you’re away. We love our daily routine of snuggling, playing with, feeding, & exercising our dogs and yours. Balancing work and with a supportive husband and three teenagers, I offers flexibility and reliability that fits into any schedule. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or providing companionship, you can trust us to keep your dog happy, healthy, safe and well-loved.. With a passion for animals and a deep understanding of their unique needs, we ensures that your pets receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. I also offer bathing and grooming services if that's something you are interested in.. Morning walk, breakfast, a little play time, rest.. If weather permits, we let the dog be outside the backyard to roam around or just lay down to have some sun. When afternoon comes, another bathroom break, kids comes home from school will play with the dog for a while, then comes the evening, bathroom break, then dinner. Although I don't have a fenced in yard, but I have the anchored leash in the yard. I trained my dog to stay within our promises.. I'll make sure the dogs I care for will be leashed to the outdoor leash.

About: We have a large backyard with an active golden retriever who is really friendly with dogs of all sizes and loves to play and run around with them. I currently work from home, so I have ample time to take dogs for walks and tend to them in case of any special needs. I have a huge backyard with a friendly golden retriever who loves to play. I would prefer a meet and greet prior to boarding to ensure compatibility
About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my life and both lived to be 16 and 17 years old so I’m well versed in senior care. My 2 dogs had puppies together so I’m also well versed in caring for puppies. My doggos knew some cute tricks and training always came easy to me. Fun fact — my cairn terrier was on the Today Show with Kathy Lee and Hoda modeling a pet product! I work full time from home and have been for many years so my home routine is regular and pet care fits in easily. Morning walks and breakfast before work — a walk break during lunch (or 2) and dinner time and bed time walks. I never let dogs outside off the leash and always protect the door when entering or exiting. The door is always locked and the balcony door is always locked too. I keep doors closed to rooms the dogs don’t need to be in but they generally get to roam around my bedroom and living room safely and comfortably. The dog(s) will have safe and separate eating areas. I will only have 2 dogs max at a time but really prefer 1 at a time but some parents have 2 dogs so I’m open to family pets but not 2 random separate dogs from different families.
