Giving you a peace of mind! (^_^)

Pet care experience

Brief important information: - MUST request to book a stay a few days before the actual stay date. - MUST do a Meet & Greet to get to know each other (owner and dog) - MUST be neutered/spayed - Your dog MUST be totally housetrained and well behaved. - Make sure your dog vaccination shots are up-to-date. - Bring your dog's food, bowls, bed, Kennel, leashes, favorite toys, harness and/or collar, medications....etc. - I have a senior Chihuahua named Goldie. She may seem vicious towards other strangers and their dogs at first because she doesn't know who you are and she is a little scared. But she will calm down and be the sweetest dog ever! She doesn't play with other dogs but will chill and take naps with your dog once she is comfortable with your dog. - Contact me through: ROVER inbox I have a TEXT MESSAGES-ONLY phone # on Rover and I don't know if it shows up on profile. Longer in-depth description: [Pssst wait!! Pause! Before you read about me, make sure you read my profile thoroughly before booking a stay with me. Plus down in the "What sorts of activities will a dog enjoy on a stay with Amy?" section, it includes explanations of how my Rover rates are calculated! Ok you can un-pause now!] ****I DON'T PET SIT CLIENT'S DOG(S) AT THEIR HOMES; ONLY AT MY HOUSE (FOR NOW). ALSO, I LIKE TO MEET AND GREET BRIEFLY WITH MY CLIENT AND THEIR DOG(S) BEFORE I PETSIT THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE THE RIGHT FIT FOR ME TO PET SIT. MEETING 3-4 DAYS BEFORE THE STAY DATE WOULD BE GREAT. ***** Hi! I'm Amy (a full-time college student). I live with my parents, younger brother and a very special Chihuahua named Goldie. We can conduct an "meet and greet" at the River Hill Village Center's McDonalds or in front of Giant where there are tables and seats. I promise you that I am a responsible trustworthy person. I also promise that I will be responsible for your pet's well being and care for them wholeheartedly as if your pet was my own. I have a forest in my backyard and has pathways for people and dogs to exercise. There's a park called Centennial Park nearby my house too. In my backyard, I have a make-shift wired fencing made to keep in small sized dog. I pet sit ONLY at my house. I will send LOTS pictures and videos to you, to ensure you that your furbaby is doing well. Lastly, I'll lovvvee to take care of your furbaby! ***May change $ ratings for pet sitting per day/night in the future*** ***If I'm busy with school or something else, I have my family to help with pet sitting*** Thanks!!

Amy was great. She sent several videos and pictures daily of my dog during her stay. I always felt like I knew what Siena was doing all the time. When I came to pick her up, Siena looked great and well cared for during her stay with Amy.

Amy was taking good care of my dog and she sent me pictures and videos of my dog twice a day. She is very responsible and she also gave me helpful information regarding my dog's health condition and behaviors.

Amy was wonderful with our dog. She was very attentive and sent us photos/videos throughout the day. She was also very understanding regarding last minute changes to our scheduling. We will definitely use her again.

Information Amy H. would like to know about your pet

***I prefer well-behaved dogs to petsit.*** ~Make sure they are protected from fleas and ticks. Make sure shots like rabies are up to date. (For safety) I need to know...[You can skip some of the questions if you want to + send through either rover messaging or when you're booking a stay with me, put it in the 'Care Instruction' section]: Routines: 1) What is the dog's usual routine for going potty and how will they let you know when they need to go? 2) What is the dog's usual meal schedule? 3) Is the dog used to being left alone? For how long and at what times? Share if the dog need to be left alone while in my care. 4) What time does the dog usually go to bed and wake up, and where do they usually sleep? 5)Is the dog allowed on the furniture at home? (They are allowed to be on specific couches at my house). 6) What is the dog's usual routine for walks? 7)What kind of collar does the dog usually wear for walks? Do they have a harness and fixed-length leash? (I suggest you to use a harness because it helps minimize the risk of a dog slipping out or running away). 8) Does the dog have any favorite toys or games? Special needs and concerns: 1) Does the dog have any health issues? 2) Does the dog need special additives in their food? 3)Does the dog take medication? If so, how is it administered? 4)Who is the emergency contact who knows the dog's normal behavior and can make decisions for the dog if the you are not reachable? Behavior and Training: 1) What cues/tricks does the dog know? How do you reward their dog? Correct him/her? 2) How do you get the dog to drop something? To come when called? 3) Does the dog have any quirks that are normal behavior for them (e.g., funny noises they make) or specific tendencies I should know about? 4)Does the dog have food aggression? 5)How does the dog handle being around other dogs? Any problems in the past? 6)Does the dog have an aversion or preference for certain types of people (e.g., men/women, children/adults, people on bikes/skateboards)? 7)Is the dog accustomed to children? Other pets? 8)Does the dog have any “naughty” behaviors, e.g., getting into the trash, chewing on shoes or other items, etc.? 9)Does the dog tend to “mark”? 10) Is the dog crate-trained? When does the dog go/get put in the crate and for how long? 11) Does the dog have anything that makes him/her nervous? What seems to help? 12)Has the dog experienced separation anxiety in the past? Under what circumstances? What does you do to comfort the dog? 13)Does the dog tend to run away or try and get out of the yard? (If this has happened before, how did you recover the dog?) 14)Where does the dog usually sit in the car? Do they have a tendency to climb into the front seat? CHECKLIST OF THINGS YOU SHOULD/CHOOSE BRING: [For Stays in my house] Packing List: ~Crate (if crate-trained) ~Bed ~Enough food for the full stay ~Food bowl ~A few favorite toys ~Harness (is better)/Collar ~Fixed-length leash or whatever kind of leash you have. ~Anything that will help the dog be comfortable (blankets or old, worn shirts that smell like their family can help) ~Any medications the dog needs

A typical day

Walks: I have multiple pathways in the small forest in my backyard where I can walk your dog(s). Also the Centennial Park nearby and I will sometimes take your dog(s) there. I will take your dog(s) for walks in the 2-4 hrs range. It may vary depending on you the pet owner based on their instructions. Feedings: Will follow your instructions and schedule to when to feed them. If they have any allergies tell me please. Medications: Instruct me on how you administer the meds. Treats: I have some bags of treats at my house, but if your pet(s) have allergies, sensitive stomach, etc. I won't feed them the treats I have. If they have allergies, etc. bring their treats. Playtime: I have a few toys at home that may entertain your furbaby. I'll play with them with every free time I have and there's play breaktime too of course! How often I'll be with your dog(s)? Most of the time. It may vary because I'm a full-time college student and my class schedule may affect the time I'll spent with your dog. But no worries! Got my family members to help care for your furbaby. But when I am on break from school, I have lots of time to spend with your furbaby and give you a treasure chest full of your furbaby's photos and videos to look at. Overnight/Boarding Stay care: I will take your dog(s) outside for a quick potty break prior to tucking him/her in their bed/crate. I will make sure they are comfortable before I go upstairs to sleep. If they are used to sleeping on your bed, I will make accommodations and let them sleep on my bed if needed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rover Price calculations (and some comparisons): If you have an additional dog you're requesting a stay for, then Rover will add $10 (which is my rate) for additional dog rate is multiplied by the total number of nights. Daycare (Dog hosting) is $20 per day.[One dog] For example, if you want to do daycare for 10 days. 10 days x $20 = $200. [Two dogs] 10 days x $40 -->($20+$20)= $400. Holiday rate is $30 per day and/or night. [One dog] For example, 10 days/nights × $30= $300 and if there's 2 dogs that will be $600 for 10 days. Extended Stay rate is $25 day/night per dog for stays of [ 1 ]nights or longer. For example, [One dog] 10 days/nights x $25 = $250 and [Two dogs] is $500. Puppy rate is $25 day and/or night.
