About Me
As a retired service dog trainer, I have enjoyed the company of many dogs over my 25 year career. From bringing potential service dogs home for additional socialization to fostering rescue dogs, there are always some extra paws coming and going in my home. I treat any dog like a member of the family regardless of how long they will be with me! I have tailored my house to accommodate the needs of any dogs, with a large fenced yard, separate quarters, indoors or out, as needed. Whether your dog wants his own private time or wants to play with the pack, it is easy to meet any dog's needs. I have spent my entire working career in one way or another with dogs! I was a veterinary assistant, kennel manager for a large boarding facility, have trained dogs for people in wheelchairs and for the deaf, guide dogs for the blind and have shown dogs around the country. It is now time for me to be primarily at home, where my pets are my family. Having an extra dog or two is second nature for me and I look forward to welcoming your dog into my home while you are away or even just for the day. Because one of my own dogs, Stormy, is a show dog and working on her championship, she is intact. As such, I have plenty of experience caring for female dogs while they are in season. It would be best if I do not accept intact male dogs, however intact females (and in season) are welcome. Why I love dog sitting My entire life has been tailored around dogs! I was a dog "nanny" for a busy doctor for about 10 years. I lived in her home, full time, and cared for her multi dog household. Add 20 years of training service, hearing or guide dogs, my whole professional life was dogs. Meet my pets I have 3 dogs of my own and a senior citizen Chihuahua that my sister could no longer care for. Although this seems like a full house, I have organized my home to ensure the comfort and safety of my dogs as well as any visitors we may have. I also have several specialty canaries that have their own room. I am in hot pursuit of perfecting the red crested singing canary with my small bird breeding hobby. About my yard I have a very large yard, fenced with a 6 foot privacy fence. It is the dog's yard, therefore there are no "hazards". My experience administering medication In my earliest working days, I was a veterinary assistant at an emergency animal hospital. I am prepared to handle routine medications and have an in depth knowledge of first aide.
