Your pet’s home away from home!

Pet care experience

Hello and welcome! **Please be advised that at this time and any time moving forward, all male dogs MUST be neutered absolutely no exceptions. If your dog OR puppy is not neutered I am unable to provide care to them at this time. Same applies for females, they must be spayed or i am unable to provide care. Sorry for any inconvenience.** I have been raising and taking care of pets almost all of my life(15 years). I’ve raised almost every kind from rats to exotic birds and everything in between! However dogs and cats happen to be my favorite! I’ve raised puppies and kittens from newborn to adult, and i have experience with elderly dogs too, as well as giving them their medication if needed. I would love to welcome your fur baby into my home in your time of need because everyone deserves a vacation or just a night on the town right? You can rest assure your pet is safe and happy with me! I also have experience and will provide boarding for small animals and critters to including but not limited to; bunny rabbits, birds, snakes, rats(any other caged rodents), and monkey’s. This is on a case by case basis because i want everything i take into my home to remain safe and well taken care of. If i feel i can not care for it, or if i do not have the space available for when you book i will let you know. However If you have to go away and need someone who wouldn’t mind your “different” pet, please feel free to reach out and message me and if I’m able to accommodate i will! *Also, for all small caged pets i only charge you the “cat” boarding rate, however you are welcome to book the dog rate if you choose, but i accept the cat rate for these options and again it will be case by case depending on what is needed. Just make sure to add additional ones if there are more than one. *Any other questions comments or concerns please feel free to reach out and message me! **PLEASE CONTINUE READING BELOW THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE SERVICE REQUESTED SO YOU CAN ADEQUATELY ASSIST ME IN PROVIDING THE BEST STAY POSSIBLE FOR YOUR FUR BABY. THANK YOU**

Wouldn’t recommend for boarding. I boarded my two large dogs with Barbii and regret doing so. One of my dogs was loose within 15 minutes of being in her care and ran to my car outside of the gate. I returned him to the gate and she didn’t even know he was gone… Also both dogs came home with cuts on them that she didn’t provide insight to until I asked about them. She up charged one of my dog to the puppy rate because he was requiring too much care and tried to charge me $210 for her glasses that he allegedly broke. After communicating with her she did infact refund that charge. Just not worth it! Sorry but my dogs are my world and I feel terrible about their experience with this sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a designated “pets room” indoors for your pet(s) to relax, play or just unwind in. I also have a huge completely fenced backyard for play time and potty breaks etc. It is also great for my more active fur babies because it is literally HUGE! Your pet(s) will have so much fun whether we are inside or outside. In fact, we’ll have so much fun, they’ll return home exhausted from all that playing haha! When we are not busy having fun outside, your pet is free to roam my home and engage in meaningful play time with the other pets in the home. I have all areas that are not meant for Pets (as in the kitchen or the bathroom etc) blocked off with pet gates and my whole home has been pet proofed to ensure the most freedom for your baby all while still ensuring their safety. I do not believe in crating pets unless they are a danger to theirselves, others, or it is medically necessary. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out any time. I look forward to meeting you guys!

More details regarding each service i offer; PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY ⬇️⬇️ In my home, your pet(s) will have plenty of hugs, belly scratches, and play time while in my care. They will also be presented with a huge selection of play toys, beds and interaction with a multitude of other pets. If requested, I am also able to separate pet(s) or crate them. This will only be at the owner or my own discretion to insure the safety of all animals in my care. They will be let out to potty and play separate as well, if requested. *If this is needed please make sure to specify when booking.* Each service i offer & what they include;⬇️ •Boarding: This service is for pet owners that wish to leave their pet(s) with me in my home for 2 or more nights(2 nights minimum stay. Anything less than 2 nights stay I am unable to accommodate at this time). Whether you want a weekend to get away or are traveling for work, rest assured i will provide the best possible care for your pet. Care provided will be hugs, cuddles, walks(as needed), feeding, and plenty of time to play and just enjoy being theirselves☺️. -Aggressive/reactive dogs ARE accepted, but MUST be specified at time of booking and you MUST provide a crate/secure cage for them to ensure the safety of other animals in my care should I need to step away. They will still be let out separate and given separate play time. There is an additional cost of $20/dog for this service so please specify at time of booking or it will be added to your booking before pickup. *What everyone will need to supply: -please bring their entire amount of dog food needed to complete their stay. (You may also bring any treats if applicable, these will be kept separate and ONLY given to your pet.) *Any food or treats not consumed will be returned at pickup. -please bring any favorite pet bed or blanket or toy(s) or crate/cage that they would want or that will make the transition easier for your fur baby. *(This is optional as i have designated beds for pets if you are unable to provide any). -please specify your EXACT drop off time when booking with me. (not a “time range” like when you book, but your actual intended drop off time so i know exactly when i will need to be available to accept your pet into my home). *PLEASE NOTE: The acceptable DROP OFF hours for my boarding services are 7:00am to 5:00pm EST. After hours drop off is available with an additional $20/dog added to your total booking.

At my doggy day care I provide hugs, kisses, outdoor and indoor activities, and i supply all food & water for this service(unless specified not to at time of booking). I also specialize in training “aggressive” dogs and socializing them well with others. I’ve had a multitude of pets come to my day care who simply needed to be integrated with other pet(s) / dogs and are now the best fur babies ever. This will need to be specified at the time of booking and there is an additional $20 fee per aggressive dog/puppy for this service if needed.

Charges will accrue after 1 hour past pick up time and so on. *If owner does not show or is a no call no show after 2 hours, they agree and understand that their pet will be surrendered to animal services and I am unable to accommodate or be responsible for the care or custody of any pet who is left in my care outside of agreements that have previously been made.* •Drop-In visits: This service is provided by me in the pet parents home. I will ensure your pet(s) receive a 30 minute potty break/play time/visit in your yard or on a leash if you don't have a fenced yard. I will also feed and change your pets water/litter box if specified at booking. Per Rover policy, drop-ins DO NOT include a full 30 minute walk, if you wanted that it would be a different service that i do not provide. *Additional 60 minutes option is available for this booking per trip. Please book accordingly.* - The latest visit i am able to make is at 7:00pm - This service is available Monday - Friday ONLY. Thank you so much for being an amazing pet owner and taking the time out to find the proper care for your pet. I appreciate you for also taking the time out to book with me. I really hope this short and detailed guide helped clarify any questions you may have and alleviated any worries you might have had from any past bad experiences. *Please note, I am like no other pet caregiver you will ever meet, this is not a “job” for me it is a passion I’ve had ever since i can remember.
