Hi! I’m Alex. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve owned and cared for pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve also spent time working with rescue animals, which has given me experience from a variety of backgrounds, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m naturally patient and calm, especially with shy, nervous, or slow-to-warm-up pets. I’m happy to give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable, and I’ve found that even our more hesitant guests tend to warm up pretty quickly. Sarah and I work together with boarding, walks, and drop-ins, so there’s usually an extra set of hands and eyes available when needed. Whether it’s getting outside for a walk, playing in the yard, sticking to a feeding or medication routine, or just hanging out on the couch, my goal is to make each pet feel safe and comfortable while they’re with us. Boarding Includes: ✔ Safe, clean, climate-controlled home ✔ Fresh water at all times ✔ Feeding according to your pet’s normal schedule ✔ Frequent supervised potty breaks and outdoor time in our large fenced yards ✔ Playtime, enrichment, and appropriate socialization ✔ Plenty of affection, cuddles, movies, and music ✔ Clean bedding sanitized between guests ✔ Routine medications and injections when arranged in advance ✔ Photo and/or video updates Owners must provide food, treats, supplements, medications, and any specialty items their pet requires. Bathing, grooming, and transportation may be available for an additional fee. We do not take guest dogs to dog parks. Highly reactive dogs or significant flight risks may have exercise limited to our secure yard and structured enrichment. 📋 Booking & Scheduling Your pet will be staying in our private home, not a traditional boarding facility. Meet-and-greets, drop-offs, and pick-ups are by appointment and must take place during the agreed-upon window. Please communicate as early as possible if you expect to be delayed. 🏥 Health & Behavior Requirements We cannot accept pets who: • Have a contagious illness or parasites • Have a history of aggression or biting • Experience severe separation anxiety involving prolonged distress, vocalization, or destruction • Cannot safely be left alone for short periods • Have escape behaviors that cannot be safely managed Pets must be current on legally required vaccinations and flea/tick prevention. Please disclose all medical conditions, medications, behavioral concerns, anxiety, bite history, or escape tendencies before booking. Undisclosed medical or behavioral concerns that create a safety issue may result in the stay ending early without refund. 💊 Medication & Veterinary Care Routine medications and injections can be administered at no additional charge when written instructions are provided. Medications should be clearly labeled and in their original containers whenever possible. If your pet becomes sick or injured, we will contact you as soon as possible. If urgent veterinary care is necessary and you cannot be reached, your designated emergency contact must be authorized to make decisions on your behalf. Veterinary expenses are the owner’s responsibility. I cannot not held liable for any preexisting conditions your pet may have. 🤝 Meet & Greets Meet-and-greets, drop-offs, and pick-ups are conducted outdoors. Because this is our private residence and past theft incidents, we do not offer in-person home tours. FaceTime or virtual tours are available upon request. 🧼 Cleaning & Damage Normal accidents are expected! However, excessive cleaning, repeated indoor accidents, bathing, laundry, or property damage may result in additional charges. Owners are responsible for significant damage caused by their pets. 💲 Rates Rates reflect the level of individualized care provided as well as Rover’s service fees. Thank you for trusting us with your pet! Our goal is to give them a safe, comfortable, enjoyable stay while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 Walks & Drop-Ins For walks and drop-ins, we treat your home and property with the same care and respect we would our own. We follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secured, clean up after your pet, and leave your home as we found it. Visits are tailored to your pet’s routine and may include walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, and companionship. We’re also happy to bring in packages or handle small pet-related household tasks when requested. Your privacy and security are important to us. We only access areas of your home necessary to provide your pet’s care. ⭐️ By booking, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the policies above. ⭐️
