I will definitely be asking Lynn to watch my cats again and would recommend her to anyone.”

About: Having grown up in a family that has always had dogs, I’m a natural dog person. Whether it’s going on walks, caring for them, or playing fetch, I love everything about being around dogs. As a current graduate student at the University of San Diego, my class schedule gives me flexibility to care for your pets throughout the week and weekend! I currently have classes and internship that take up 3 days per week for me (Sunday-Tuesday). The rest of the days of the week are open for me, which gives me a lot of availability to fit into your pet’s schedule! I have reliable transportation (car) to travel to your pet for check ins and/or walks. I also make it a priority to stick to their normal routine so that they feel comfortable in my care, as well as follow any rules that you have in place.
“Every dog loves enthusiastic playmates. Phillip fits the description. He is consistently professional, friendly, helpful and always right on time. I need to feel that my older dog is safe when going out walking in our neighborhood, the city. Phillip "brings it", when he comes to see Colette...she feels at home with him and Phillip leaves the pictures to prove it. :-).”
About: Dogs are an integral part of the family! Growing up, we always had at least 3 dogs. Dogs are family not animals to me. I have always taken care of my family pets as well as neighbors dogs. As a teenager, I would take care of my neighbors pitbull and cocker spaniel by feeding them and playing with them when the neighbors were at work or on vacation. I know have 2 dogs, an 10 year old husky and a 6 year old chihuahua mix. They are still very youthful and cared for greatly. They definitely do not act there age. I love taking care of dogs and making their lives as special as they make mine. I am a full time dog mom! I am going to school, but I have the luxury of being attending from home which leaves me plenty of time for loving on the puppers. I have 2 dogs that are very friendly. If needed, I can crate you furry family member. My husky has food allergies so I have experience making sure the fur baby doesn't get into anything that would make their stomachs unhappy. I am super vigilant during walks and sun bathing since both of my dogs are severely allergic to bees. If you board your pet with me, they will be treated just like family. Your furry family member will become one of our family members while they are here. Any dietary restrictions or house rules you wish to disclose will be followed exactly!
