I am available most of the time and I would love to care for your animals! I use to work as a Veterinary Technician for about ten years. I have worked with dogs, cats, and most exotics too! If you need to board cats or exotics, I have a separate room for them away from all dogs. Some of my skills include that I can administer medications and injections. I can also offer dog baths for a $20 fee added to your booking if you would prefer that. I also do pick up and drop off at your house for an additional $60 on your booking. Since I am home quite a bit, I can offer potty breaks at least every hour or two. So I am willing to help with potty training your pet (pets under a year old who are charged the puppy rate). When dropping off for boarding, I REQUIRE A KENNEL, FOOD, AND LEASH. This is for your dog's safety in the event that I have to leave for a short time, seperated feeding times, and also for sleeping at night. I separate all dogs at feeding times as a general precaution. Most dogs aren't food aggressive but you just never know when mixing personalities. I appreciate your help with keeping your dog safe. Your dog is treated like my dog in my house. My dogs are family so I take everyone's safety very seriously. I understand that some dogs need to adjust to a new environment and new dogs so I always prefer to have a meet and greet first to see if your dog will be comfortable with my family, dogs, and house. Please be honest with me if you know that your dog is aggressive in any way for any reason. I am more than happy to try to make them feel comfortable any way I can but I need to know things like that upfront. I ONLY DO BOARDING DROP OFFS AND PICK UPS AT 8:00am and 8:00pm. I ONLY DO MEET AND GREETS BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 5:00-7:00PM ON WEEKDAYS. If the boarding hours don't work for you then we can always extend the stay to the night before for drop off or the morning after for pick up. Even last minute extensions are welcome as long as I don't have other obligations. I understand that things come up and I'll be as flexible as I can to do what you need. But this time frame helps me be ready for you and for others to pick up and drop off when they need to. It also cuts down on the amount of time my boarders are crated during the day as I do that every time I have a drop off or pick up so that I can safely introduce each dog one on one to ensure that everyone gets along. It's just another safety precaution that I take. I can't wait to meet your pets! Thanks again for choosing me and trusting me to be a part of your pet's life! I look forward to meeting you both! I have three children and I am a stay at home mom. So I am home full time and Rover is my primary job. I am willing to be flexible and try to accomodate any clients specific pet sitting needs within reason. I have a fenced in yard and my dogs love to have friends over to run and play in it. If your dog is more of the chill type personality I allow them to roam my house when I'm home and they are allowed on the furniture to get comfortable. In the case of housesittings, I try to stick closely to the dog's normal routine so that they're not disrupted in the owner's absence.
