Check us out on Instagram @thepupyard Non-Smoking household First and foremost, Hello! Welcome to my Rover page! We are so excited that you are interested in us watching your furry family member! An important thing to note is that your dog's safety, comfort, and health is my primary concern. For that reason, when you choose to stay with us you can do so with the peace of mind that we have additional insurance on all the dogs who stay with us, outside of the Rover Guarantee. A little about me? I have had a dog my entire life and one thing that's always been frustrating is finding someone you can trust to care for your pets when you need to be away. I look forward to being a wonderful option for your family member! My family and I include myself, my husband, our 8 year old son, and 6 year old daughter. We also have a very loveable 13 year old Australian Shepherd who has taught the kids proper doggie manners and how to be gentle with the furry friends. I have had multiple dog breeds throughout my life from Pomeranians, Labrador Retrievers, Cairn Terriers, Rat Terriers, Springer Spaniels, Catahoula Curs, Australian Shepherds, to Rescue Pups, etc. My Aussie and I also trained extensively in search and rescue when we were both much younger. We are very accustomed in how to care for dogs can't wait to meet yours! I have been a Rover sitter for several years now and we have cared for over 1000 individual pups from the tiniest teacups to the largest giants 😁. We absolutely adore them all and love providing a calm and loving environment. Our regulars are part of our family! We have 5 large and entirely separate and fully fenced yards, including a large "Pup Deck". We have cameras in each yard to monitor playtime as well. So, if you need your dog to be separated from ours, that is not a problem. They can all be kept entirely separated to avoid any behavioral issues that may be present. For sleep time the dogs sleep inside the house either on their beds, in a kennel (only if they're used to doing that), or on the couch and free roaming. Sometimes pups like to sleep with the kids and the kids love it when they do 😁. We also welcome all ages! For puppies not entirely up to date on shots our "PuP Deck" is a wonderful safe outdoor play space for them. And we are very good with potty training schedules. For your convenience, we do provide our own crates, bowls, and toys. However, you are more than welcome to bring anything you would like for the comfort of your pup! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your pup loads of love and attention. I am available 7 days a week and on all major holidays. I am not available for drop offs/pickups on Tuesday evenings between 6:30-9:30pm (we have church) and Saturday between 10:30am-1:30pm (we also have church). I am available for meet and greets throughout the week days but they are not required for booking. I have 5 fully fenced and separated yards. They are equipped with cameras and shelters. I can also crate your pup if needed during the time that I pick my son up from school.
