*Hi there! Please be sure to read the following information thoroughly as an aid to help you on your quest to find a suitable pet caregiver. Thank you for stopping by!* I have a B.S. degree in environmental biology from the University of South Florida which has given me extensive knowledge and exposure to numerous types of animals. My education aids me in affirming all living things are in an environment where they thrive. My number one priority is making sure your pet experiences that, and their well-being benefits from doing so. I also have some experience in caring for turtles, mice, ducklings, and other non-traditional pets. I am a fast learner who loves all animals, so if you have a pet different from the common house pet, I am open to learning about whatever care and treatment is required to ensure your pet is properly looked after. I am currently working full-time for Rover at home, so I am very flexible and accommodating to schedules of all types. After health and safety, your satisfaction is my next objective, and I will work hard to maintain a healthy environment and lifestyle for your pet while you are absent. Let me know what time/days are needed, if there are any particular requests you require, or have any other matters that need to be addressed. I can make plans accordingly. I am very responsive, so if you have any questions or concerns, I will quickly get back to you! FAQ -How many dogs do you take at a time? To eliminate stress, I only accept one dog at a time unless they are from the same household. -How often are dogs taken out? I typically let them out four times a day: morning, noon, evening, and night. If your dog is on a set schedule, feel free to include that in their care instructions and I will adjust my times to theirs. -What supplies should I bring? Other than their food and medication, it is up to your discretion what you want to bring. I do have toys, bowls, bedding, and treats (original Milk-Bone biscuits), but you are free to pack their favorites from home. If your pet is crate trained, you are welcome to bring their crate along or their dog bed. -Do you send updates? Of course! I give 1-2 updates per day (in the morning or at night) with a few pictures of your pet to let you know how they’re doing. If you would like for me to send more, just let me know! -Do you have experience with anxious dogs? I have cared after dogs, cats, and other species of animals with various dispositions since a young child. Their temperaments have ranged from hyperactive to relaxed, so I know multiple methods of handling and treating pets who have a harder time being around a new person or being separated from their owner. -Is a meet and greet necessary? A meet and greet is not required but encouraged so both parties can get to know each other, ensure expectations align, and determine if it is a good fit. Sometimes life gets a little busy, so we can always set up a call or voice chat if an in-person meet and greet is not feasible. -What is your cancellation policy? For boarding and drop-ins: you receive a full refund if you cancel by 12:00 p.m. seven days before the booking begins. If you cancel later, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and 100% refund for any days after that. For day care and walks: You will receive a full refund if you cancel before the booking begins. If you cancel after the booking begins, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and 100% refund for any days after that. -Do you accept unneutered or unspayed dogs? Unfortunately, I do not host dogs that are not neutered or spayed. -What happens if there is bad weather predicted during a scheduled walk? Since we can experience extreme weather during summer and winter, I do take precautions to help alleviate any discomfort your pet may experience which involves having a portable water dish, avoiding hot pavement, maintaining a slow pace, etc. I will contact you if temperatures drop to 30°F or reach 95°F to see your preferred method of action. This can include converting your walk to a drop-in, where your pup and I go outside long enough to relieve them and then keep them occupied by playing indoors. We can also push their walk to an earlier or later time (schedule permitting), or you may opt for us to continue our scheduled walk. -Do you provide constant care? I do provide constant care for pets who are unable to be alone for less than 4 hours. My constant care rate is double my regular rate (Rover fee included). If your little one needs extra attention, let me know and I will manually adjust the pricing!
