Hello! Thanks for considering me to care for your best bud(s)! I take great pride in creating a safe and loving environment for your pets. General FYI - the Rover search function sorts sitters in a very random, obscure, and constantly changing order, so the numbering in the search list is not reflective of much of anything, not even distance. You can use the filter checkboxes to narrow down to your particular needs (e.g., fenced, no kids, etc.). Hopefully I can help! SNAPSHOT: ** Don't let the distance deter you. I have a great place that is worth the easy drive. ** Fun, safe, clean, air conditioned house on property that I own in Nelson County ** Large fenced (both sunny & shaded) areas for play ** Experienced, attentive, & skilled caretaker, former vet tech ** I work from home, so your pet is always supervised and gets lots of love & attention ** Flexible drop-off & pickup times between 6a - 10p ** You only need to bring food, and I provide the rest ** Daily updates for your family with pics & vids FULL DETAILS: I'm a former vet tech from years ago (so I have animal handling skills, first aid, etc.), but now I do sustainability consulting working from home in Nelson County. Your pal will get so much love and attention!! I own my home on about 5 acres, and a large swath of that is fenced, giving plenty of great space for zooms, lounging in the shade, and fetching. I do have 2 pets already, who are both VERY lovely and friendly. My dog Sylvie is a 5 year old, spayed and vaccinated, Pyrenees/Lab mix and she is exceptionally well-mannered and does very well with all dogs and cats. My cat Finley is much the same, neutered and vaccinated, 3 years old and outgoing, confident and friendly indoor/outdoor cat. I keep a nice home, and can often be found puttering in the garden with my buddies, hiking, or working on some house projects. Please reach out if you need someone to give your pets some extra care! WHAT TO BRING: Due to the necessity of protecting the health and safety of other boarders and my own pets, I have a policy of not accepting animals with active illnesses, infections, parasites, etc. • For all puppies <1.5 years old, I require a NEGATIVE FECAL TEST within at least 1-3 months of your booking for BOTH worms (hookworm, roundworm, whipworm, and tapeworm) as well as parasites Giardia and Coccidia. REMEMBER - testing positive will likely require a cancellation of any booked stays due to the long treatment times for these, so please test early. • Proof of current vaccinations: Rabies, Bordetella, DHLPP (digital copies are fine). • Please make sure your dog is treated with flea/tick preventives! Very important. • Your dog’s food • Any special or familiar items to make your dog feel happy WHAT I PROVIDE: • Lots of love and attention, and supervised play • 2 large, secure fenced areas for play and lounging • Clean, comfy dog beds & blankets • Bowls for food and water • Wire Crates (Your dog will sleep inside, uncrated unless crating is needed for puppies or if requested) • A variety of soft chew toys, tennis balls, and even a treat or two (if allowed) Please take some time to fill out your pet's profile completely and honestly, as this helps to make a good match with pet parents and sitters.
