June 2021 Dog Boarding Update: I am currently only able to board dogs under 30 pounds as my larger size dog spots are taken up. I apologize as I love all sizes but can only accommodate a few larger dogs at a time. Now on with my story…
I treat any pet under my care the same as I would my own. They become a part of the family. They help me with doing the dishes, sweeping the floor, watering plants and posting their picture on our Purfect Friends Facebook page or Instagram. When it comes to sleeping at night, I mimic what they are used to at home. If they love sleeping in their crate, that’s where they sleep. If they always sleep with their owners then they come jump in bed with me and any other owner sleeping dogs I might have.
I like to send videos and pictures on a regular basis to the owners so they can see the fun we’re having and how good they are helping with chores! Sometimes I worry that I send too many photos but they’re all just so darn cute that I can’t help it!
I have a backyard that was designed with dogs in mind. My downstairs and finished off garage (complete w outdoor carpeting) become one big play arena for them as well.
As an added bonus, I am a Virtual Assistant for a dog training company. I often say I am not a trainer; I am just trained by them. So, tips and tricks are shared with the owners or if requested, I can hook an owner up with one of our wonderful trainers.
I think it’s obvious I am overjoyed that I found this profession and every day brings new rewards.... and treats. “Did someone say treats?!!”
Btw I am licensed and insured :)
