***Major Changes in 2021***Alek (I) joined the Army, so pls check out my sister Samara's pet sitting services; she is included in my Rover client reviews (we were partners in our petsitting endeavor): https://www.rover.com/sit/samars76832 She is FANTASTIC with all pets. She is also in my Rover profile pics.***** Hi Pet Families: Thanks for checking out my profile. I’ve had dogs most of my life. My family and I have cared for several breeds, sizes/weight, and ages. Expect your pet to be treated as family. I'm usually home fulltime since I take online classes, with the exception of occasional errands, gym, etc. Weather dependent, your pet will enjoy the outdoors for daily walk/playtime. Pls let me know if your dog has a health issue as those concerns will have my attention. I have administered meds to pets for a range of issues and am pretty well in tune with providing the owner's specific guidance on food, water, and care. I am very particular and careful on introducing any pet to unknown/new people (for example on walks), as well as to unknown/new pets. If we go to the local park to walk your fur family member, know that your pet will be safely strapped into the vehicle with a pet seatbelt. I do my best to take every precaution; however, I ask that I be informed of any details such as whether your pet is hyperactive or sensitive to certain conditions and environments. I have found that some pets have known anxiety issues (when away from their Owner or even when going for a car ride) that are not revealed prior to my accepting the boarding. It is important to all involved that this information is shared prior to booking confirmation. For overnight boarding, you will need to provide ALL of the following: pet food, food and water bowls (if you use one for both that is fine), dog's collar or harness, leash, meds (if they are prescribed), anxiety treats (if you know your pet will need it), toys, sheets/blanket/pillow/bed, crate, something familiar to them that smells like YOU, and whatever else makes your pet feel comfortable. I am unable to store pet things that you no longer want or for use “next time”--my family asks that any large items must be discarded by pet owners. Explanation of Rover fees: Rover charges an administrative fee to the client for each boarding stay *and* additionally collects 20% of my earnings. Note that the holiday rate might be different (holiday dates are set by Rover). If you are "new" to Rover's pet sitting services, you can use this profile link at https://www.rover.com/sit/samars76832 and enter in Promo Code: SAMARS76832 for Rover to give you $20 off your cost.
