We are looking for an occasional dog sitter who can stay at our home and care for our two dogs when we travel. Both are English springer spaniels and require some special handling for some behavior concerns among the two dogs. Our male is 11 years old, and is happy to be near you to curl up and take a nap. He is low energy and does not require much exercise, he is starting to loose his hearing so some additional patience + care is required with him. Our 4 year old Female is a full of energy, and honestly an anxious/nervous dog. She can be resource aggressive so we have special handling instructions for both dogs to mitigate any bad behaviors/fights between them (i.e. no treats, feeding dogs separately, splitting up when necessary, knowing what could "trigger" her aggression and how to squash it before it escalates). We have systems in place in our home to keep the dogs safe (i.e. one dog out in the yard at a time, feeding separately, baby gates to split them if necessary, etc). They are both loving dogs and will snuggle you as much as possible - but we do have a history of some instances so we want to find someone who is truly ok with these situations.
Overnight stays will require: sleeping at our home with the dogs, feeding *separately (5:30am & 5:30pm), providing water to dogs, letting dogs out in backyard with supervision *one at a time (a few times throughout the day) and picking up their poop. You do not have to stay at our our home the entire time, you are free to go in and out as a "typical day" - but we ask that you do not leave the dogs for more than a 6 hour time block. We are hoping to find someone who experience of handling multiple dogs with some behavior issues.
