All of our pets are very friendly and well behaved. Including my own, there are typically 5-10 dogs in my care on any given day. (Please consider how your pet may handle this type of environment before booking.) I care for animals full-time, so when dogs are out and about, they are under constant supervision. Socializing dogs is an important part of their development. It helps them build good manners and reduces the likelihood of behavioral issues like anxiety and aggression. If your dog is comfortable with other dogs, I would be happy to include them in our daily routine and supervise their playtime. Our yard is fully fenced and provides an open space for dogs to play and explore. However, if your pet is more timid or doesn't enjoy being around others, we also have a quiet space downstairs where they can have their own area to feel comfortable. During their stay, I will make sure they receive daily walks, interactive playtime, and potty breaks, all while keeping them away from the other animals when needed. Rest assured, they will receive plenty of love and attention from me. The safety of my dogs and yours is my top priority. If your pet has any issues with other animals, please disclose this information in advance to ensure the safety of all. If you are unsure about how your dog will react in a social environment, I recommend a trial run for a day. This can be done through Doggy Daycare, which is an excellent way to introduce your dog to a new environment and new friends one at a time, at a pace that feels safe to them. This allows me to understand how your dog adjusts and ensures that you feel completely comfortable leaving them in my care. » 𝐎 𝐔 𝐑 𝐑 𝐎 𝐔 𝐓 𝐈 𝐍 𝐄 « At Anna Elisabeth Pet Care, we follow a structured routine to ensure every dog receives the right balance or care, exercise and relaxation. Here's what a typical day looks like: ► 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒: All pets are fed in separate spaces to ensure everyone eats peacefully. We make sure all bowls are washed and sanitized between uses to maintain hygiene. Below is a typical feeding schedule we follow: ► 5:00 - 6:00 AM (Breakfast) ► 12:00 - 1:00 PM (Lunch) ► 5:00 - 6:00PM (Dinner) If your dog does not require all three meals, they will get to enjoy some independent time while the others take some time to eat. If your dog prefers to graze, they will be given opportunities throughout the day to revisit their food and take some more bites in their separate space. ► 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐒: The day usually starts with my walk rotation, which lasts 1-3 hours in the morning. Each daycare and boarding dog will receive a 1 mile walk during this time, and this schedule is adjusted based on morning drop-offs. (Please note that walks are weather permitting. For your dog's safety we don’t walk in active rain or snow, and we avoid walks if the heat index is above 85°F or the wind chill is below 32°F. Extreme temperatures can be dangerous for dogs, so I always prioritize their well-being during outdoor activities.) ► 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄: We utilize crates for bedtime and an after-walk nap while I am walking another dog. Rest is just as important as play, so we ensure plenty of downtime for relaxation and recovery since this environment is very stimulating. All areas in my home where pets are kept have a pet camera that provides a live feed to me for supervision while I am doing my dog walk rotation. (Cameras are for my personal use only.) ► 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄: Play is an innate part of your dog’s social life and is essential for learning social cues, boundaries and positive interaction with other dogs. Playtime is always supervised, and I ensure it is safe and engaging for all dogs involved. For outdoor play, we typically split the dogs into playgroups based on size and/or temperament. When they play in an open space, splitting the dogs into groups allows me to manage them better, guaranteeing individual attention and vigilant supervision at all times. ► 𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄: While I am supervising outside playtime, the other group of dogs get to enjoy some independent time in their separate spaces. If you have any enrichment toys you would like to pack for your dog, this is when they will get to enjoy them. Independent time is crucial to ensure that dogs get enough rest, which helps prevent sleep disturbances, over-arousal or increased reactivity. It also allows them to recharge and maintain optimal health. ► 𝐏𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐒: Dogs get potty breaks as often as needed throughout the day. To ensure that each dog feels comfortable and well-cared-for, we provide individual potty breaks. This approach minimizes distractions, promotes good habits, and provides them with plenty of time to explore and relax. Young puppies will get a potty break every 1-2 hours. Below is a typical schedule we follow for dogs older than one year: ► 5:00 AM ► 7:00 AM (After Breakfast) ► 1:00 PM (After Lunch) ► 5:00 PM ► 7:00 PM (After Dinner) ► 10:00 PM ► 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐒: Walks for my own dogs are scheduled in the evening to not take away from your dog's experience during the day. An additional evening walk for your dog is available upon request. (ADDITIONAL CONVENIENCE CHARGES WILL BE APPLIED.) I will keep you updated with photos and videos of your dog's day, so you can see how they're doing while you're away. » 𝐃 𝐔 𝐑 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 𝐒 𝐄 𝐑 𝐕 𝐈 𝐂 𝐄 « We believe that clear, consistent communication is key to building trust, which is why we share a thoughtfully edited video recap at the end of each day through our private client-only Facebook page, along with a personalized Review Card for each pet. This allows you to stay connected and reassured, knowing your pet is in the hands of a reliable and compassionate caregiver while you are away. The video recap may include their daily walk (weather permitting), playtime indoors/outdoors, meals, etc. You can expect fewer updates after 5:00 PM as I am focused on Doggy Daycare pick-ups, preparing dinner for all the pets and wrapping up the day with my family. In the evenings we slow down and unplug. At the end of each day you'll receive a "My Day at Anna Elisabeth Pet Care" Review Card. This will tell you about your pet's eating habits, activity, behavior, temperament, sleeping habits, etc. The dogs usually begin to settle down and lounge around after dinner while my husband and I prepare for the day ahead. Around 10:00 PM we start final potty breaks and I begin each dog's bedtime routine. Every dog will sleep in their separate space and rest up for another fun day ahead. » 𝐁 𝐎 𝐀 𝐑 𝐃 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 : 𝐖 𝐇 𝐀 𝐓 𝐓 𝐎 𝐁 𝐑 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 « When your dog stays with me, I strive to provide a home away from home. To help ensure they have a comfortable and stress-free stay, here's a list of items to pack: ► 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑, 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐇, 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒: These items are essential for daily walks and potty breaks. If your dog uses any specific training tools during walks, please include them as well. ► 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄: A crate provides a safe, familiar space for your dog in their new environment during independent time and during the night. ADDITIONAL CONVENIENCE CHARGES WILL BE APPLIED if a crate is not provided with your dog. For more information on crates, please refer to the Crate Training & Crate Rental sections below. ► 𝐅𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐄 : Please bring enough food for their stay, along with any necessary medications or supplements. For more information on food, please refer to the Food Preparation section below. ► 𝐓𝐎𝐘𝐒: While I have extra toys available, your dog will appreciate having their favorite toys to provide comfort, especially if they're feeling homesick. Of course, when it comes to crate toys, it's important to note that not all toys are created equal. Some toys may not be safe, and not every dog is ready for the privilege of having toys left in their crate unsupervised. You know your dog best, so if your dog is comfortable with crate toys and can handle them responsibly, you are more than welcome to provide their favorites. I highly recommend the Kong and West Paw brands. ► 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐒/𝐒𝐍𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒: Familiar treats or snacks will help soothe your dog and make them feel more at home. ► 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐓 𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐌: A familiar blanket of piece of clothing that smells like you can be a great comfort for your dog. It will help them settle in and feel calm, especially at night. ► 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒: Lastly, please provide a clear set of care instructions for me to follow while your dog is in my care. Following your dog's schedule is important to keep their routine as familiar as possible. Please note that all items you provide will only be given during independent time and will not be shared with the other dogs. » 𝐁 𝐎 𝐀 𝐑 𝐃 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 : 𝐄 𝐗 𝐓 𝐑 𝐀 𝐒 𝐄 𝐑 𝐕 𝐈 𝐂 𝐄 « I offer pick-up and drop-off services for families within a one mile radius.

This ensures that I’m compensated for the additional time. If extended care is more than 2 hours or up to 8 additional hours past your drop-off time on the first day of the stay, you will pay an additional amount that is 50% of your nightly rate. For example, if you drop-off at 12:00 PM on Monday and pick-up at 2:00 PM or later on Friday, then 50% of your nightly rate will be added to your total payment. If the extended care is more than 8 additional hours, you will pay an additional amount that is 100% of your nightly rate. When should I book my pet's stay? The timing is entirely up to you. I’ve found that many people tend to book closer to their travel dates, so my calendar can appear wide open for a while and then fill up quickly in the weeks leading up. That said, holiday periods tend to book out well in advance, and I’m often at full capacity months ahead of time. To ensure availability, I always recommend booking as soon as your travel plans are confirmed. This guarantees your spot and saves you the stress of finding out there are no openings later on. » 𝐃 𝐎 𝐆 𝐆 𝐘 𝐃 𝐀 𝐘 𝐂 𝐀 𝐑 𝐄 « Please read the above section on Boarding to answer any questions about the animals in my home.

During their daycare stay, I focus on training that promotes impulse control, leash manners, obedience, reactivity control, and more. Through this training we'll build a strong foundation of good behavior and enhance their social skills. I will assess your dog’s behavior, identify areas of improvement and tailor training that aligns with your dog’s individual needs and goals. Doggy Daycare at Anna Elisabeth Pet Care is a wonderful opportunity to help your dog to develop into a well-mannered and obedient companion, while also providing them with enriching social experiences. » 𝐃 𝐎 𝐆 𝐈 𝐍 𝐓 𝐑 𝐎 𝐃 𝐔 𝐂 𝐓 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍 𝐒 « For our newcomers, we take extra care to ensure your dog has a smooth and positive introduction to boarding. To start, I'll take your dog on a walk (weather permitting) to help them get familiar with me and burn off any nervous energy. A walk provides a great structured physical outlet and helps your dog feel more comfortable before meeting the other dogs. Once we return from the walk, your dog will have plenty of time to explore their new environment on their own before we begin introductions with the other dogs. Your dog will be introduced to each dog individually, at a pace that feels comfortable and safe to them. I'm experienced in understanding dog behaviors, so I'll be looking for signs to determine if your dog might be feeling overwhelmed and in need of a break. A new human, new environment and new dogs can be a lot to adjust to, so we always take things at a pace that feels right for your dog. After individual introductions, we'll begin playtime together. I'll bring each dog back out one by one to ensure your dog has time to acclimate at their own pace. If at any point during the day I sense that your dog would prefer some quiet time, I'll bring them to their crate for some time to rest. During this time, I'll have a white noise machine playing to help block out any playtime noises and create a calming atmosphere for your dog to relax. Your dog is welcome to join the fun again whenever they feel up to it, and I'll check on them periodically to make sure they're comfortable and recharged. » 𝐃 𝐀 𝐘 𝐂 𝐀 𝐑 𝐄 : 𝐖 𝐇 𝐀 𝐓 𝐓 𝐎 𝐁 𝐑 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 « When your dog comes for daycare, I strive to provide a home away from home.

Rest assured, Anna Elisabeth Pet Care operates in a safe and secure environment with tender and loving care. If you’re still unsure, meeting before booking is key to finding a good match, giving you peace of mind before you drop them off for their stay. A Meet & Greet is designed for me to assess your pet's personality. To eliminate distractions, the pets in my care will remain inside my home while the Meet & Greet will take place in my yard. Meet & Greet sessions are available after my normal business hours in order for me to give your pet my undivided attention. To protect the safety of the residents, there will be no access to the interior of my home. Meet & Greets have strict time limitations and are available at 6:30 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Meet & Greets are OPTIONAL and may cost between $15 or more per session. Let’s discuss your dog’s personality and go over care instructions. Below are some topics we can cover when we meet.

There are many benefits to crate training: ► 𝐒𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐓𝐘: A crate can be a safe, comfortable place for your dog to relax, especially when they’re scared, upset or anxious. ► 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍: Crate training can make it easier to supervise your dog and prevent them from getting into trouble when you’re not around. ► 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Crate training can help with housetraining because dogs tend not to soil their sleeping areas. You can use the crate to establish a regular routine for taking your dog outside, and to prevent accidents at night or when you’re not home. ► 𝐁𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐑: Crate training can help your dog learn to self-soothe and deal with anxiety in stressful situations like thunderstorms, fireworks or construction. It can also help them cope with new situations like having company over or boarding while you are away. ► 𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃: When you leave your dog home alone, you can have peace of mind knowing that they’re comfortable and protected and that nothing will be destroyed or soiled. Overall, crate training is one of the best things you can do for your dog. You are setting you and your dog up for success by raising a dog that respects you, giving you peace of mind knowing they are safe, comfortable and secure when you are not around. In boarding/daycare situations, a crate is always important to ensure the safety of your dog if I need to step away for a moment and during the night. A crate trained dog adapts well to new environments when they have a familiar space of their own to relax in. I understand that in some households, a crate may no longer be necessary. Although your dog may behave well at home, that might not always be the case in a new environment. If you send your dog to boarding or daycare often, I would highly recommend you brush up their crate training skills so that they have an easier time adjusting when you go away. Dogs who are out of practice can sometimes become vocal in the night which can stress out the other dogs in my care. We want to make sure that we maintain an environment where all pets feel comfortable and all neighbors feel respected. » 𝐂 𝐑 𝐀 𝐓 𝐄 𝐑 𝐄 𝐍 𝐓 𝐀 𝐋 « I have crates and beds on hand to ensure your dog has a safe, relaxing space at night and during independent time. All crates are thoroughly sanitized, and all beds are washed after each dog's stay to guarantee a clean and cozy environment. For your dog's comfort, we recommend bringing their own crate and bed from home. Having familiar items in their new environment can help them feel more at ease. ADDITIONAL CONVENIENCE CHARGES WILL BE APPLIED if a crate is not provided with your dog. ► 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐋: +$7.50/per night (per dog) Where will my dog stay? I will place your dog in the environment I believe will suit them best, and I’ll have a clearer assessment of their needs after their first night. Some dogs prefer their own quiet space, and I have several peaceful rooms available for them. Others find comfort in having a crate neighbor, and there are always many dogs around who are happy to provide companionship while they settle in. Will my dog have privacy? All crates available for rent come with a crate cover to help prevent crate aggression (also known as barrier reactivity or kennel guarding), ensuring a peaceful and safe experience for every dog by minimizing distractions and providing a sense of privacy. The crate covers help create a calming atmosphere during mealtimes and enrichment activities, promoting positive associations with the crate. » 𝐒 𝐏 𝐀 𝐘 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 / 𝐍 𝐄 𝐔 𝐓 𝐄 𝐑 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 « In order to bring your pet to my home for boarding or daycare, they must be fixed or meet one of the AAHA Canine Life Stage Guidelines if the age is between 6 and 15 months. According to the AAHA Canine Life Stage Guidelines, small-breed dogs (under 45 pounds projected adult body weight) should be neutered at six months of age or spayed prior to the first heat (five to six months). Large-breed dogs (over 45 pounds projected adult body weight) should be neutered after growth stops, which usually is between 9 and 15 months of age. The decision on when to spay a large-breed female dog is based on many factors—your veterinarian can help narrow down the recommended window of 5 to 15 months depending on your dog’s disease risk and lifestyle. There are many reasons to spay or neuter your dog: ► 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇: Spaying female dogs prevents uterine and ovarian cancer, and greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer. Neutering male dogs reduces the risk of prostate cancer and some other prostate problems. ► 𝐁𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐑: Spayed and neutered dogs are generally calmer and less likely to bite, attack or get into fights. Neutering can reduce mounting and urine marking. It can also help prevent frustrations and improve your dog’s quality of life. ► 𝐄𝐍𝐕𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓: Spaying and neutering prevents unplanned pregnancies. Please Note: If your pet is not fixed but meets one of the AAHA Canine Life Stage Guidelines, I can only take in one unfixed pet at a time to avoid unplanned pregnancies. If I am already caring for one unfixed pet during the time of your requested care, you will have to wait. I take in pets on a first come, first serve basis. » 𝐕 𝐀 𝐂 𝐂 𝐈 𝐍 𝐀 𝐓 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍 𝐒 « Vaccinations are important for dogs because they can prevent many illnesses that can be life-threatening and costly to treat. » 𝐕 𝐀 𝐂 𝐂 𝐈 𝐍 𝐄 𝐒 : 𝐑 𝐄 𝐐 𝐔 𝐈 𝐑 𝐄 𝐃 « In order to bring your pet to my home for boarding or daycare, your dog must be vaccinated with the following within the last three years: ► Rabies ► Canine Distemper/Adenovirus/Parvovirus - DAP, DA2PP, DHPP or DAPP You will need to provide proof of these vaccinations from the most recent date with scanned or printed veterinary documents prior to your scheduled drop-off time.

Pre-portioning eliminates the risk of running out of food. Why this matters: When food is brought in bulk, there have been occasional instances where food ran out before the end of a pet’s stay. To prevent this and provide peace of mind, we kindly ask that you include 3 extra pre-portioned meals. These additional meals will serve as a backup in case your return is unexpectedly delayed. If food is brought in bulk and your pet runs out: ► We will contact you right away. ► If you're unable to arrange a delivery, or do not respond within two hours, a $25 convenience fee will be added to your Invoice for local food pickup (Zeeland/Holland area), in addition to the cost of the food. ► If food must be sourced outside of the Zeeland/Holland area, we will make the best possible substitution for your pet, and the same $25 fee + food cost will apply.

To ensure that every walk is a safe and positive experience, we’ve outlined the following policy regarding dog behavior. Policy Statement: In some cases, we may need to pause or end a walk if a dog exhibits behavior that presents a safety concern for themselves, the walker, other animals, or people in the surrounding environment. While every situation is assessed individually, behaviors that may result in the immediate suspension or termination of a walk include, but are not limited to: ► 𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐑: Lunging, snapping, biting or any attempt to harm others (animals or people). ► 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐏𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆: Strong, uncontrolled leash pulling that creates a safety risk. ► 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐑: Chewing through leashes, harnesses, or equipment during a walk. ► 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄 𝐕𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐙𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Persistent barking or howling that may indicate distress. ► 𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐄 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒: Trying to back out of collars or harnesses, or bolting unexpectedly. ► 𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐀𝐅𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓: Freezing, refusing to walk, or sudden darting that could pose a danger to the dog or walker. Additional Information: ► Should any concerns arise, we will notify you promptly and discuss next steps. ► Depending on the nature of the behavior, we may recommend a consultation with a professional trainer before resuming walks. ► If unsafe behaviors persist, we may need to discontinue walking services to prioritize safety for all involved. While we always reinforce basic leash manners during our time together, please note that we are not professional trainers, and formal leash training is a separate service. If your dog is not currently leash trained, or if daily walks are not a regular part of their routine, we fully support alternative ways for them to burn energy, such as backyard zoomies, enrichment activities, or structured playtime. You are welcome to opt out of daily walks if walks aren't the best fit for your dog’s preferences or needs.

I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was fortunate to have parents who embraced my love for pets and welcomed every animal I asked for into our home. They taught me from a young age that caring for animals isn’t just about enjoying their company, it’s about responsibility and dedication. I quickly learned to love the routines of feeding, walking, and playing with them, and those moments shaped me in ways I never imagined. I’m so grateful for the lessons I learned early on in life, as they instilled a deep sense of responsibility and a lifelong passion for animals. As a kid, I took my love for animals a step further. I started a Doggy Daycare in our neighborhood, where a few friends and I would gather the local dogs, take them on long walks, let them run and play in our fenced backyard, splash around in a kiddie pool, teach them tricks with homemade treats, and send them home tired and happy. We did it all for free, simply because we loved it so much. I woke up every day excited for another round of playtime and bonding with those furry friends. When people would ask me, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” my answer was always different. Instead of imagining a career, I would often ask them, “What kind of dog do you want to have when you grow up?” Owning a dog, for me, was always the ultimate goal. I would daydream constantly about having my own home and a family with pets to care for and love. Fast forward to 2020, when my husband and I bought our home. We knew right away that we wanted to fill it with animals and give them the best possible life because caring for them brings us such fulfillment. We started dreaming about our future dogs and decided we wanted to raise a pair of siblings so they could grow up together. After searching, we fell in love with two Jack Russell Terriers, a breed that had always had a special place in my heart. My husband chose the runt of the litter, a little girl we named Evelyn (or Evey for short), and together we picked the boy, Edward (or Ed). From the start, the two were inseparable, bringing so much joy into our lives. A year passed, and despite how much we loved Evey and Ed, something felt incomplete. That’s when we made the spontaneous decision to adopt a third dog. Enter Emmett, another spunky Jack Russell Terrier who fit right in with our little family. The three of them were an unstoppable trio, always together and always bringing laughter and happiness into our home. We bought everything in threes, though we quickly realized they preferred sharing...everything. It was a beautiful reminder of the bond they shared. Recently, my brother and his fiancé rescued two Saint Bernard Mix puppies. They named them Jelly and Bernard. Not long after they received the devastating news that they could no longer keep them where my brother is living. Heartbroken, he called me. After I wrapped my head around the situation, my husband and I felt led to take the pups in. What a beautiful and unexpected twist they turned out to be. When we first brought them home, I tried my hardest not to get too attached, because there is a chance my brother will be able to take them back. As we grew to know them and they became part of our family, it was clear how easily they captured our hearts. It became impossible not to love them. Without hesitation, I immersed myself in puppyhood and all the joys and challenges that come with it. For the first few months, my days were spent guiding and teaching them how to be the best they could be. In my dedication to helping them reach their full potential, I watched them learn new skills, conquer fears, pass important milestones, and it all reminded me just how beautiful this stage is. It was a precious time of witnessing God’s creation unfold right before my eyes and I felt so privileged to be part of that process. In early 2024, just a week before meeting Jelly and Bernard, I was in a place of confusion and uncertainty about my career. I took some time to reflect on what truly made me happy, and then it hit me. Those summers as a kid running that Doggy Daycare immediately came to mind. That was when I felt most alive. And then I thought, What’s stopping me from doing that now? The arrival of Jelly and Bernard put this passion back to the forefront of my mind. This was a very pivotal moment in my life. They were a beacon of hope at a time when I needed it most, reminding me of God’s goodness. They have helped me rediscover the passion God has placed in my heart. They reignited my sense of joy and my love for nurturing and caring for animals. That's when I realized I needed to pursue this path. With renewed purpose, I began my journey with Rover. And I've never looked back. Our dogs are happier than ever, getting to play and socialize with their doggy friends every day and I'm just as excited to start each day with them. I tend to be very fast paced and always onto the next thing, but working with dogs everyday has taught me to slow down and appreciate the joy in every moment and savor the beauty in the world around me. It's a gift I never take for granted. I feel so incredibly lucky to be on this providential journey, doing something I love so deeply. I truly believe this is the best job ever, and I wake up every day grateful that I get to live out my passion for animals. » 𝐌 𝐎 𝐑 𝐄 𝐈 𝐍 𝐅 𝐎 𝐑 𝐌 𝐀 𝐓 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍 «
