Dogsitter For My 2 Rescues While Traveling. They Require Lots Of...

One Time • $8 – 20/hr • Starts 06/18 • Easton, PA

I need several days of care for my 2 rescue dogs while I'm traveling. They require special, patient care and are still a bit aggressive so I'm willing to pay extra. Their names are Ruby, a 4yo Doxie terrier mix, and Cupcake, a 3yo Havanese mix. Ruby is a little grumpy but has been rescued for years. Cupcake is a recent rescue and is still getting acclimated to being in a home. She's downright unpleasant if she's in a bad mood. They need someone very gentle and patient and ideally with experience with rescue dogs. Ruby is food aggressive and Cupcake is very toy aggressive. They do not like other animals at all. This could be as simple as you coming over three times to walk them throughout the day or full-time overnight care if interested.

Her name is Haley. She is a petite red heeler (cattle dog) but very strong for her light 30 pounds! She is 6 years old. Her personality is cautious until she knows you, but she loves people and attention. She loves walks and play and scratches! You're welcome to take her for short walks and play with her in the yard for the rest of the hour sometimes. She is extremely dog reactive. She's not aggressive, but she gets scared easily and will bark a lot and pull on the leash, so she needs a short leash if passing other dogs, which would preferably be done from a distance!
