About: I am a stay-at-home homeschool mom with years of experience with my own dogs, cats and chickens. I have two animals with special needs. My precocious Great Pyrenees has severe allergies, could unlock herself out of her kennel as puppy, and is strongest-willed animal I’ve ever owned. I have three-legged kitten that melts my heart. And my golden-doodle, Max, suffers from severe jealousy of all my other animals and wishes he was a small lap dog. Over-all, I treat each animal as unique and as equally lovable! I am available most times and dates depending on my daughter’s school schedule. We homeschool, so we do have times set aside for co-ops and other educational experiences. Treat others the way you would want to be treated, including animals, is my motto in how I treat my own/other animals. I believe the least of these deserve respect, dignity and love.

I have another friend that enjoys this so much, and I think I will like it just as much as she does. I will make sure there is always clean water, feed in the morning and evenings, or as often as you like. I wash the bowls about every other day. I have 3 beds for my chihuahua, one in the living room, bedroom and dining room where my computer sits.

They are my first priority and my last when I’m helping someone else out. I take care of them before leaving for work and visit them when I return from work. It also depends if I’m staying at the house or just making stops in between the days. I have a fenced yard with a patio that is separate from the grass area. I have a doggy door so they can go in and out if they know how to use one. If not they learn while I have them in my care. My fur babies love playing with other dogs. If I’m at the clients home, they get lots of love and attention. I make sure they get their playing time in multiple times a day before bed time. If it’s not to hot I do try to squeeze a walk in even if it’s a small one.

About: I have grown up my whole life with a dog or two in my household. I have taken care of cats and rabbits but my love is for dogs. I enjoy going for runs with my dog and I will always love on any puppy I interact with. I am a professional soccer player (home for the summer) so I train during the summer but my availability is pretty flexible. Being that I am also a soccer player, I’m no stranger to the Texas heat and I love to play soccer with my dog. So I occasionally use that as a form of playful exercise for other dogs that I have taken care of in the past. However, I equally love the sweet older angels who move slowly and need gentle lovin. I’m super easy to talk and schedule with and I’m very organized. I will have plenty of time in my afternoons and most evenings to have play time with your pup. I have soccer training and workouts mainly in the mornings or early afternoons but this still leaves me with a lot of time to take quality walks. Trust through transparent communication and actions as well as mutual respect is essential and the only way I follow by. I will always respect your home as if it is mine and leave it better than I found it. I will always love your puppy just the way I love and adore my own puppy.
