About: CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK “Happy pups stay with us” Let your dog have a happy stay while your away! I am passionate about animals and want your animal to have as close to home experiences as they can while there here for there stay. They will have water and food 24/7. Frequent potty breaks. Most importantly non-stressful environment. I’ve worked at kennels and most dogs are scared, it’s loud, they are caged for 95% of there stay, with very few/short potty break and left unattended. This is not what I would want for my pups and I’m here for yours to not have to have this experience either. I do have two fur baby’s of my own who will be there to be your pets best friend while your away (fun.loving Husky/Gentle Great Pyrenees ).

Get up at 6am potty and feed. There is a doggie door so they can go in and out as they please for most of the day but I close this at night for there security. Fed again around 3:30pm or I can follow any instructions on feeding you prefer. Around 8:30pm we are in for the night. I care for your pets the same as I do my own. They are allowed on furniture and are spoiled with love and affection. We have a 60’x25’ oasis for pups that do not want to interact with mine and need separate living quarters while they stay. We are still very much around as it is part of the home and we hang out there a lot. There a door that opens up right to the fenced area where they go on potty breaks and have fun outdoors completely enclosed and my dogs won’t be allowed out while they are out. There’s always a tv on and I will have it on the dog channel for them. There’s couches for them to lay on and plenty of space to run and play. Ow if they do all become best pup friends well they will have the run of the house and play a lot! Someone is home all the time so your pup is never left alone. I offer drop off at 6am which is if your just dropping off. I have a family and to avoid them being disturbed you will only be able to drop off this early, not come in. If you’d like to come in it will have to be later in the day. Pick up: latest is 9pm unles otherwise confirmed. If you need earlier drop off you will have to schedule the night before. I have 2 fence in portions of the yard. Pups are never crated they live with us just like they are part of the family. I do have more than one dog staying at a time rover does not have an option to change this which I previously only took one client. I only take on dogs who are friendly with others and friendly with my children.
“Rusty has been great with my dog, Kota! Since Kota can be nervous around new people, we scheduled a meet-and-greet prior to any visits. Rusty took the time to get to know his quirks, and allowed for a slow introduction. He has been very reliable and flexible, and always provides detailed updates. I highly recommended booking with Rusty!”

“Jenna was great! She was punctual. Communicative. Caring. She sent pictures. She came over for a meet and greet. It’s clear that she is responsible and I will definitely be asking her to drop in on the dogs in the future!”

About: Hi there! My name is Lexie, i am 25 years old and I am well experienced with dogs specifically because I used to be a dog groomer! Pets in general have always been a loving passion of mine and i love making them pretty, safe, and loved. I specifically love petsitting, making sure they’re cared for and safe all while having fun with them. I myself own two bulldogs as well as a bearded dragon, therefore im familar and experienced with all different types of animals. No scales or different types of pets would scare me. While i am a server at a local restaurant, i still have plently of availability to tend to your pet! With having Sundays and Mondays off, and only working in the evenings on most other nights makes it really easy to be around the majority of the time sith your beloved pet. I intend on coming to you and your home for your pet so they are in a familar space and hopefully will leave less anxious feelings. My goal is for us to always be safe and comfortable while still having a blast. Daily walks and one on one time with the pets are extremely important to me as I never want a pet to feel anxious or scared while you’re away. I also keep a written planner with up to date information of everything i need to know about the animals as well as scheduled feedings, medicines, appointments, etc.
