I am a top-rated and attentive pet sitter who works from home with two dogs who love company! I am available for last-minute requests. Please check out my reviews. RETURNING CLIENTS: I have been on a sitting hiatus and recently have re-opened my home to host your furbabies. I am now only taking one booking at a time but we love to see our clients again -- please contact me even if my calendar shows unavailable, depending on your drop off/pick up dates, we may be able to arrange something! Right now, I work from home so your dog would be with someone all day and all night! I have had dogs all my life, currently I own two fur-children. My reviews speak for themselves in the level of care your dog will receive while staying with us! INFORMATION ABOUT BOARDING: *Rover's bookings are in 24 hour increments, not by night. Pick up and drop off dates need to be within two hours of each other (before or after). If you need an early or late drop off or pick up, there will be a daycare charge added on that day. The amount of this charge depends on how much of a difference there is between the drop off and pick up, with a maximum difference of 8 hours between the drop off and pick up time. I do not accept drop offs or pick ups between 9 pm to 9 am. Any drop off or pick up is done by appointment and in 30 minute windows. Late arrivals/departures may need to reschedule. BOARDING DURING A HOLIDAY? Rover automatically applies the holiday rate to all the nights when you put in your request. However they only apply on certain date ranges. I will be adjusting the final price! *HOLIDAY RATES will apply on the nights of: MEMORIAL DAY- May 29th, 30th JULY 4TH- July 3rd, July 4th LABOR DAY- September 3rd, 4th and 5th. THANKSGIVING- November 22nd, 23rd, 24th. No pick ups or drop offs are scheduled on the 23rd. CHRISTMAS- December 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th. No pick ups or drop offs are scheduled on the 25th. NEW YEAR'S- December 30th, 31st and January 1st. *Christmas/New Year's boarding will require an overnight trial stay to ensure compatibility. EXTRA SERVICES: I offer various add-ons such as: BATHS ($10 each, with Oatmeal for sensitive skin or regular as the shampoo; if you want Furminator de-shedding Shampoo and Brushing, $5 extra) NAIL TRIMS ($5) PICK UP/DROP OFF ($10, up to 5 miles) for boarding/daycare (5+ miles are subject to additional charge) BRUSHING (free, please provide tools) Please inquire! I understand that dogs are always learning and I'll use any available opportunity as a teachable moment. I firmly believe that the best training you can give your dog comes from having a solid, caring relationship with them and communicating with them as the intelligent family members they are. I do not use any aversion techniques with my own dogs or my guests. The dogs in my care are given a safe environment, respectful and humane treatment, clear boundaries, and are rewarded for making good choices. WAIT- YOUR PET'S NOT A DOG? No problem! I love all things creepy and crawly! I have taken care of/owned birds, hedgehogs, turtles, tortoises, snakes, frogs, rats, hamsters, gerbils. Pricing will be customized for your pet and the level of care they require, please contact me! For walks or drop-ins, my travel is up to 3 miles from 76111 or the intersection of Belknap/Riverside. For Overnight Boarding, I encourage a meet and greet so that I can meet you and your pets. You will also get an idea of where your pup will be staying. But I understand sometimes things come up and if we do not have a meet and greet, assuming your pet fits the requirements, that will be fine! Intact young adults/puppies waiting to be neutered are exceptions. I am more than happy to meet your pets' needs with whatever they need to make an unfamiliar surrounding comfortable for them. This is why I ask for crates or beds, having a familiar safe spot will help the transition. SPECIAL NEED PETS: I am willing to accommodate pets that require special care due to age and/or other medical reasons. I have experience caring for diabetic, senior, blind, or deaf dogs.
