About: Me and my pup are excited to open our home to a furry friend to play during the day or stay with us while their humans are away. I have experience pet sitting in clients’ homes, hosting pets in my home, transporting pets, and providing walks. There is no shortage of pet beds, toys, treats, and snuggles to make your pet feel at home away from home. Days, nights, and weekends are all available for hosting your pet. I’m am fortunate to have a remote work position so I am home all day, which allows me to provide plenty of potty breaks and cuddles during the day. If your fur baby needs a little TLC while your out of the house or somewhere to stay overnight when you are traveling, our home may be the perfect fit. I have a fully fenced yard available for zoomies, laying in the sun, playing fetch, and chasing squirrels. I have a 6 year old pup who is a good mix of playful and relaxed, so your pet will have company here.
About: At PetSuites, our goal is to provide a happy, healthy, and safe environment for your pet when they're away from home. We're pleased to offer the PetSuites Health Care Commitment Program, which reimburses up to $500 for eligible expenses incurred during your pet’s stay. Enrollment is automatic when your pet attends daycare, covering treatments or diagnoses for incidents that occur during their stay or within 5 days after departure. If veterinary care is needed, we’ll attempt to consult with your pet’s primary vet. If unavailable, we work with local veterinarians to address any medical issues.
“This was the first time we've ever taken our puppy to Doggy Day Care and we were very nervous to say the least. Ben was amazing. From the meet and greet to the first morning we dropped her off, he put us at ease. He sent pictures and gave updates throughout the day. He made this whole experience great for us and for Charlie. Charlie was so worn out after the first day, that she (and us) finally slept through the whole night that night 😁We'll definitely bring Charlie back!!”
