They allow us to get to know each other, discuss your pet’s needs, and ensure we’re a great fit. Flexible meeting locations: dog parks, my home, your home (for drop-in services), or public areas. *Please respect my home. Doors must remain closed, and meeting animals from other families is not permitted for safety reasons. Thank you for understanding!* Bonus for Your Peace of Mind: You’ll receive a Welcome Packet during the M&G for your safekeeping. It includes: - My contact information and emergency procedures. - A summary of policies and services for easy reference. - Tips for a stress-free stay and reminders for preparing your pet. 🐾Introductions Between Dogs: All dog introductions are supervised and take place (estimated) 12–24 hours after drop-off. This waiting period allows each dog to decompress, adjust to the new environment, and display their natural behavior before meeting others. If a dog shows signs of stress or discomfort, introductions may be delayed or adjusted for safety. 🐾About me: I was raised on a farm containing large and small animals so I was taught the importance of all living things, but the passion for them bloomed on its own. During my time as a veterinary technician, I gained valuable hands-on experience, including learning how to properly administer medications and mastering essential techniques. My experience at a professional boarding facility further reinforced my passion for providing personalized, attentive care through home-based pet services. I recently worked as a groomer's apprentice, but I’m currently studying to become a certified dog obedience trainer, which will expand my ability to support your furry family members. I’ve loved every moment of my past four years on Rover, from meeting incredible families to caring for pets of all types and personalities.
