Mya H. Pet Care Provider in West Lafayette, IN 47906

Ian has taken care of neighbor's dogs since he was 15, but started helping out with his family's dog around the age of 10. Ian has taken care of all sizes and types of dogs, including dogs with special needs and at various stages of potty training. Mya has been around and helped with her family's dogs since childhood, and adopted Sunny as her emotional support animal in 2023, when beginning graduate school. We are former Purdue Cross Country and Track runners, and still maintain an active lifestyle, so we can go on as many walks, runs, or dog park trips as you request. We train Sunny daily, and have received numerous feedback from friends on how well-trained she is, as well as how loved and cared for she is (she truly is our fur baby)!

Every morning we take Sunny out to use the bathroom first thing, and then we then quickly head inside for her to go to her "place", do a little bit of training, and then give her an "eat" command to eat her breakfast. We let breakfast settle for at least an hour while we eat and drink our coffee, before any walking for Sunny to eliminate the risk of bloat (which is a serious and prevalent issue for large dogs). While we work from home throughout the day, Sunny plays with her toys and naps. As it begins to cool off, we head out on a nice long off leash walk in the evening. We let Sunny out as needed throughout the day, and we normally spend some time walking around the Celery Bog during our work breaks, to watch the wildlife together. For dinner, we follow a similar routine as breakfast, but occasionally will use her dinner kibble for further training or rewards, such as nail trimmings, specific skill work, brushing, etc. We administer Sunny's daily medication at dinner, either on top of her food, or by safely placing the pill in the back of her mouth. After her last evening potty break, and before bed, Sunny loves to have at least 10-15 minutes of play time and focused attention for cuddling. Sunny is crate trained, but we also have a Furbo in our main living space, to ensure she is safe if we leave her to nap on the couch when we are gone. Your pup will follow a similar routine as Sunny, unless otherwise specified. We are happy to accomodate for you:)
