Do you struggle to figure out what to do with your pets when you have a home showing?

Do you want to create an optimal showing experience for your potential home buyers?

Do you want the peace of mind to know that you can create a fantastic home showing opportunity AND have your pet properly taken care of at the same time?

Home Doggz provides this chance.

As a licensed Real Estate agent I have the same entry key access to your home as your trusted agent.

We will come to your home before the home showing, collect your pet items and pets. At the conclusion of the blocked time frame for the home showing, we will bring your items and pet back.

This creates an ideal atmosphere for the home to be shown.

One of the greatest obstacles to selling your home that is not price related is overcoming the pet challenge.

Potential home buyers do not want to hear, see or smell your pet. When any of these 3 things occur, you might as well have your animals running rampant through the home because it does cause the buyer to have a major distraction.

They want to visualize their family in the home. Pet distractions cause home buyers to eliminate your home from consideration.

Let Home Doggz alleviate this issue and remove the stress you feel when trying to figure out what to do with your pets during a home showing.

Pet Sitter Extraordinaire

These are qualities and abilities that have provided Home Doggz with the ability to be successful.

Published Author-I have a written and published a book. This takes determination, desire, passion, and demonstrates that I know how to complete and accomplish goals.

Data Control Expert-While employed at Lockheed Martin, I learned essential skills that have allowed me to grow business and create happy customers. I designed, created and operate my own data tracking and follow-up system that allows me to provide top quality materials and information for you.

Pet Owner-I have been a pet owner since I was 5 years old...at current I am just shy of 35 years of age. I have been involved in pet care for a variety of animals for the last 30 years.

Parent-I am the proud father of 3 young children. This means I know how to balance time and be patient. I understand the love that I have for my kids and pets, so I am always completely aware of how important your pet is to you.

Service-I value people and I desire to help. Over the years, I have been involved in many activities from the Special Olympics, Toy's For Tots, Helping the Victims of Hurricane Katrina, Habitat for Humanity, Junior Achievement, and more...

I say these things because most likely you found out about Home Doggz via the Internet or as a referral from one of my customers. The key is that most likely you do not actually know me.

The Internet provides you the fabulous ability to check out many pet sitters. The trick is picking the right one for you. The problem with this type of research is that you really can only compare rates but not the service that you will receive.

Fantastic service is provided when you select someone that cares about helping you first and generating income second. It is found when you select the person that has a great character, but also has a full awareness and ability to give you the help you desire in the manner in which you desire it.

5 Tips to a Better Life that Your Dog Already Knows

Health and Life Tips your dog can teach you:

1)  Exercise: Dogs love to take walks. Many get tired after about 30 minutes and want to slurp up some water.

Guess What? 

30 minutes of walking followed by a large glass of water is good for you too!

2)  Diet: Most dog owners keep the daily food intake regulated based on their weight, age, and health conditions.

Guess What?

A human diet also needs to be regulated based on weight, age, and health conditions.

3)  Forgiveness: People step on dogs, shoo them out of the way, or yell at them for a myriad of random reasons, but they always forgive you immediately.

Guess What?

People close doors on you, cut you off in traffic, or are simply completely oblivious to their surroundings everywhere you turn. Instead of getting riled up and upset. Shrug it off and forgive them for their ignorance.

4)  Attitude: When you get home, your dog always greets you with a happy and excited tail wag. They have waited all day to see you.

Guess What?

This is the same approach people should take when coming home to a significant other. Get off the couch, stand up, give them a big hug and say, "I'm glad your home!"

5)  Loyalty: No matter what happens, your loving dog is always loyal. They lay by you when you sleep, sit by you when you eat, get happy when you are home, and love your affection always. Your dog will brag to other dogs how you are the best owner in the whole world!

Guess What?

People should do this with their friends and loved ones. Brag about how awesome the people in your life are. Thank them for doing nice things. Do nice things for them. Avoid bad talking and back stabbing.

Our dogs embody so many qualities that humans should partake in. Yet many consider them inferior to us. If we all took some of the natural instincts our animals utilize, we would live significantly more full and rich lives....together.

What is Catnip?

For cat owners, it can be entertaining to watch your cat go nuts over the exposure to catnip. But what exactly is it?

Catnip is a perennial herb from the mint family. It is commonly referred to as a weed as it can grow to 3 feet in height and has many branches with small clusters of purple flowers.

It contains a variety of aromatic oils including a mild hallucinogen called nepetalactone. This is the component that provides cat owners with some entertainment.

To have its effect, catnip must be inhaled by the cat. You can tell your cat is doing this when they pull their gums back from their teeth. It almost looks like they are smiling. The cat is actually pressing their tongue against the roof of their mouth. This results in the cat being able to concentrate the smell, resulting in a smell-taste effect.

Typical cat reactions are elation and arousal. You will see them rolling around appearing to be slightly intoxicated. The effects do not last long and you will not see a repeat effect for at least an hour with new exposure to catnip.

Not all cats have a reaction to catnip. According to a recent cat personality survey, about 80% of cat owners say they get a reaction to catnip.

What does your cat do?
